Andromeda: S02E01: The Widening Gyre
Well, I thought it was a fantastic episode except some of the story lines seemed on familiar territory but there were enough plot twists to make them acceptable.

Andromeda: S02E02: Exit Strategies
It could have been a whole lot better. A whole lot more plausible. A whole lot more exciting…anyways…

Andromeda: S02E03: A Heart for Falsehood Framed
This episode was too self-contained. – It wouldn’t matter what season you placed it in, it’s a filler.- Just where the heck is Rev Bem all this time?

Andromeda: S02E04: Pitless as the Sun
I think it’s really cool to sort of learn more about Trance and her abilities. It was much more interesting to see her being somewhat evil. The professor (cancer man from x-files) was terrific! It was also nice to see non humanoid aliens for once.

Andromeda: S02E05: Last Call at the Broken Hammer
…PUHLEASE! This was one of the stupidest, throw good beer at the T.V. kind of episodes.

Andromeda: S02E06: All Too Human
The visuals were stunningly layered with detail and colour in every shot. The fight scenes were superbly reminiscent of Matrix. Although the parody was there, the story was compelling and gripping. It was also refreshing to see a warship behaving like a warship.

Andromeda: S01E16: The Sum of its Parts
This show was great, it was funny and sad and silly all at the same time. – For a purple girl with a long tail, Trance can be really silly sometimes.

Andromeda: S01E17: The Devil Take the Hindmost
This was a whoppingly good episode. There wasn’t much in the way of mind shattering computer graphics, and to be honest, seeing the Magog (who to me, look like vicious monkeys) always makes me laugh. But the actual story was thought provoking and powerful.

Arrakis, Dune, wasteland of the empire, and the most valuable planet in the universe, because it is here and only here, where spice is found.

Battlestar Galactica: S02E09: Flight of the Phoenix
This episode featured many interesting story-lines, including two that rival each other for the “A story” Which makes writing this review a real bitch! Depending on the time of day this episode was either great or fair.

Battlestar Galactica: S02E02: Valley of Darkness
When I first read that the Galactica was going to be boarded by Cylon Centurions, I had a very un-sadgeezerly thought. How the hell are they going to pay for all that CGI?

Battlestar Galactica: S01E02: Water
After and incredible four hour miniseries, and a more amazing series pilot, it hard not to be disappointed by this week’s episode. Not because that episode was bad, or that it failed to live up to the quality of the previous 5 hours.

Futurama: S02E04: Xmas Story
I guess they gave up on it in the second season once they figured out what they were in for. A robotic Santa gone awry is a very sci-fi touch. Classic. Not a bad Christmas episode as they go. There was only a little sappiness, nothing unbearable.

Original Air Date: September 25, 1995 
Futurama: S02E06: The Lesser Of Two EvilsAnother classic theme is explored in this episode: the evil twin. Very nice animation in a very sci-fi episode. The only complaint I have, aside from the usual nitpicking, is the ending. It’s like they didn’t have any more story and just tacked on Leela’s beauty pageant win. Read more
Futurama: S02E07: Put Your Head On My ShouldersThis felt like another one of those filler episodes, just something seasonally appropriate for that time and slightly amusing. You could miss this episode and not miss a single plot point. (but don’t! 🙂 ) Read more
Futurama: S02E09: A Bicyclops Built For TwoThere’s lots of nice animation sequences with plenty of sci-fi influences. Not a bad way to spend almost half an hour . . . But I still have questions. Read more
Futurama: S02E14: Mother’s DayMore Mom, Yay! She’s just an evil old bitch; I love her. Some steamy past romance comes to the forefront and we get to see a side of Bender never seen without mechanical coercement. Read more
Tripping the Rift: S01E12: Love Conquers All…AlmostLove Conquers excelled in all areas of production. The script was fantastic, with jokes spilling out nearly every line, and enough quick B and C plots to keep the “Romeo and Juliet” A-Plot moving along at a steady pace. Read more
Tripping the Rift: S01E11: Emasculating ChodeThis wasn’t a particularly funny episode. But it made up for it 30 times over by being visually – freaking awesome! Read more
Futurama: S01E06: A Fishful of DollarsThis episode marks the first appearance of Mom, a kick-ass character that recurs throughout the series. She tells it like it is, in some very colorful language. I can’t decide if I like her or Zap Brannigan more. Read more
Futurama: S01E01: Space Pilot 3000Time to introduce Fry, a twenty something pizza delivery boy with nothing to live for. He’s just been dumped by his live-in-girlfriend and is stuck delivering pizza’s on New Years Eve 1999. And I thought New Years 99 sucked for me… Read more
Firefly: S01E06: ShindigIt’s back to one of the central planets for today’s episode. No more of this dusty badlands wild west desert stuff, but instead a refined city atmosphere. And evidently I’m not the only one who’s excited, most of the crew are also stoked about arriving on Persephone. Read more
Crusade: S01E07: Each Night I Dream of HomeThe Excalibur is ordered to rendezvous with an Earth Force destroyer in the middle of nowhere. At which point they will take on two passengers and then proceed with new orders. Read more
Tripping the Rift: S01E03: Miss Galaxy 5000I’d just like to start by saying this episode totally made up for last weeks boring ending. It still had some jokes that seemed a bit too forced, but overall it was damn good. Read more
Tripping the Rift: S01E04: Sidewalk SoilerThis was a great episode. It was crude, funny, and had lots of subtle background jokes and plays on wording. And as usual, the animation was top notch, with plenty of attention paid to details. Read more |
