Sanctuary is an odd show, even for the Sci Fi Channel. We have a Harry Potter look alike, who does not have an English accent and Samantha Carter from Stargate, who does have an English accent. Also from Stargate-the Atlantis brand-is a Caveman/Bigfoot/Who Knows What He Is who speaks with the exact same voice he uses when he plays Todd the Wraith. I keep expecting him to make some joke about Gieco. Sanctuary is one of those new style shows where they don’t bother with things like sets-its all shot on a green screen and the massive buildings and mountain…

Battlestar Galactica-The Last Season
For fans of the old show, the new show was always a bit jarring and there were too many changes. But fans of the new show love it-well, except for all that crap left over from the old show. So that the writers/creators of this show manage to piss off both parts of their tiny fan base at the same time. But now we are nearing the end of the run, and as with most sci fi shows, once it is gone everyone will love it and mourn its passing. Battlestar Galactica has been a show that is filled with…
Stargate-The Ark of Truth
I’d heard rumors of a Stargate movie being made for some time, with the usual debate being will it be a Stargate Tv Show movie, or a sequel to the Movie. The Ark of Truth was never meant to be a theatrical release, too much back story needed for an uninitiated viewer to figure out what is going on. In fact, most Stargate shows are heavy on the back story and need little preludes to remind the viewer what is going on. The Ark of Truth was a good show with a lot of drama and suspense-even though there were…
Tin Man-Sci Fi Channel’s Twisted Oz
Spoilers within. The Sci Fi Channel takes its role as the main provider of offbeat and oddball science fiction pretty seriously. They like to take a story we all know and love, and give it a little shift into another dimension. Tin Man is not your Daddy’s Wizard of Oz. Well, unless your Daddy liked dropping acid to while away the hours with a copy of Ozma of Oz open on his lap. Tin Man the mini series features a world we know-and don’t know at all. The characters are all sort of familiar, DG-(Zooey Deschanel) is playing the part…
Odyssey 5 A Good Sci Fi Show
We saw the Earth destroyed, and in a heartbeat everything and everyone we knew was gone. –opening voice over for Odyssey 5 Odyssey 5 was one of those Sci Fi shows that popped up on Showtime in 2002 and was canceled before they aired it. Like The Outer Limits while it aired on Showtime, we are treated to a slightly more adult brand of science fiction here. These were science fiction shows that harked back to the good old days-naked women and aliens that want to eat us and take over the world. Oh yeah, and a lot of swearing.…
