SciFi TV Rewatch

Bo and the audience finally meet The Wanderer, and let's just say, we didn't see that coming. However, the actions of a certain human, no matter how well intended will have to be dealt with, but do we have a new romantic duo in the picture? 

Caught in a quantam loop, Dave and Wayne finally emerge to take a look at the two most recent episodes, both of which rely heavily on literary, historical and cultural allusions. While we don't learn much more about The Wanderer, Lauren aka Flora and Dyson bridge the vast gulf that had pushed them away from each other. Have Hale and Kenzi finally consummated their love?

While there's minimal movement on Bo's bloodline story arc, an emphasis on duos appears in this episode. Lauren's moving in with her Dark pals, and The Morrigan lets her know that she'll have complete freedom to conduct whatever research she choose and will have no movement restrictions placed on her. After five years with the Light, Lauren's understandably skeptical, but the skeptics finally rece...

Before getting to the episode discussion, Dave gives up on Once Upon a Time, and Wayne implies he may be doing the same with Percy Jackson. In this Dark Fae centric episode, the Una Mens background comes more into focus, and Trick's link to them raises more questions than answers. Are Tamsin and Kenzi the new Dynamic Duo? Will Bo and Lauren resume their relationship, or will their differing politi...

Bo is back, bitches, and she's taking no prisoners. However, the Una Mens end the evening's proceedings with a rather disconcerting revelation. In between Lauren and Tamsin take giant steps forward while Kenzi's regressed to a character full of self-pity and regret. Dave and Wayne actually agree on most of the major plot points, and the guys make three Doctor Who references that are totally salien...

After nearly 1,000 episodes, 11, or is it 12, or 13 Doctors, companions too many to count, and the omnipresent Daleks, Doctor Who just celebrated 50 years of wondrous adventures throughout the known and unknown universe. It truly is one of a kind.

Off the train, Bo finds herself embroiled in a decades old case of familial revenge as a father attempts to protect his family from a malevolent spirit. Dyson and Clio reunite with Bo, but it's Lauren's behavior as her alter ego Amber that garners the most attention in this episode. What role will we see Crystal play as the season unfolds? Here's the copy of the text from one of the newspaper arti...

Inter-dimensional travel between planes seems to be the only way Bo will become reunited with her family. Tamsin regenerates while Hale insists on taking baby steps regarding a relationship with Kenzie. Wayne displays his medical acumen, and both point out the writers were put in the unenviable position of telling the stories without Anna Silk.

Well, we're finally back. At least some of us are back as Bo, Lauren and Tamsin are MIA in the season premiere that finds the gang devoid of any memories of Bo, and though it's somewhat disconcerting to be without the archetypal Lost Girl, we do bear witness to a number of new and different relationship dynamics. While Wayne liked the episode a lot, Dave found it lacking in a number of areas.

In the final installment of our zombie pilgrimage, we look at the Brad Pitt blockbuster film World War Z. We never learn the cause, and the hero fails to find a cure or vaccine, but the technical aspects of the film are spectacular. Mireille Enos, from The Killing stars as Pitt's wife, and Peter Capaldi, set to star as the 12th Doctor, round out the cast.

It seems as if genre television and film fans are continually on edge worrying about whether or not our new favorite show will survive to even see a second season. So why are we so critical?

After reading and talking about the infamous underwear scene in the latest installment in the Star Trek franchise, Star Trek Into Darkness, the guys couldn't stay out of the fray. Not surprisingly, Dave and Wayne disagree on the validity of the scene, and Wayne's son even weighs in briefly.

Forced out of their usual digs, Dave and Wayne battle the forces of nature to finally bring their review of FOX's new supernatural show Sleepy Hollow to fruition.

Sam Raimi's cult classic hit the theaters in 1987 and gave the director his entrance into the major movie industry. One of the first comedy-horror films, Evil Dead 2 also provided a break for Bruce Campbell, who's had recurring roles in Xena and Hercules, but a major role in USA Network's Burn Notice. Though Dave and Wayne frequently disagree, it's fair to say they were on polar opposite ends of t...

Wayne and Dave examine the quintessential ghost film The Others starring Nicole Kidman, Christopher Eccleston and Finnoula Flanagan. Set in a remote house in Jersey on the Channel Islands, we see the struggle for coexistence between the living and the dead.

Introduced in the 8th episode of the first season, the evil dark fae mesmer Vex has become one of the show's most popular characters. Now, though, we're not sure with which side Vex has aligned himself. Could he perhaps become unaligned? Watch Captain Canuck

Wayne expands on our discussion of Orphan Black and the implications human cloning bring with it. Zeroing in on the classic Aldous Huxley novel Brave New World, we examine possible futures if this burgeoning technology is misused. The BBC produced a version in 1980.  Watch it here .

Next to time travel scenarios, story arcs related to dreams and dream states cause more consternation and head scratching than just about anything in the genre field. We all know writer/director Christopher Nolan from the recent Batman movies and perhaps his 2002 Momento, but the 2010 blockbuster Inception is at the top of many film critics must see lists.    

Okay, so I'm not a Johnny Depp fan, but Tim Burton's travesty of a film is not the point of this episode. Dave reminisces about the 60's gothic soap opera that caused millions of teenagers to rush home from school, ignore their homework, and settle back with Barnabas Collins, the precursor of Edward Cullen.  Watch Episode 1

Wayne and Dave discuss 10 genre actresses that have made a significant contribution in the fields of science fiction, horror, fantasy or the supernatural. Incredibly enough, they didn't argue over who deserves the title of First Lady of Scifi. How the heck did that happen?

For many reasons I bypassed Peter Jackson's District 9, but now that I've seen it, I understand what all the fuss was about. Should the panelists ask the fans if they want to be spoiled? And what is it with the hair.

Do you watch genre television with friends, spouse, significant other? Or do you hunker down, by yourself, only the glow from the screen illuminating the room? Also check out the two previous postings for links to the SDCC interviews and panels mentioned in this show.

Wayne's been on me to do a zombie show for six months or so, and the time was finally right. Who would have thought you could blend a romantic comedy with zombies? In contrast, 28 Days Later provides a much darker look at one of the most popular apocalypse scenarios. Regardless, even if you're not a zombie fan, these two films might have you reevaluating your stance.   Timing   0:00 - 6:21 Intro  ...

Wayne and Dave take a look at one of the most intriguing scifi television shows to come along in quite a while. BBC America's Orphan Black starring Tatiana Maslany explores the practical and ethical considerations surrounding human cloning. Who's your favorite clone? Oh right. First rule of clone club; you don't use the C word.

Except for the Centurions, everybody at least looks human in BSG. But Farscape truly explores the outer reaches of space, in this scifi space opera that injects humor far more often than Battlestar, and Crichtonisms and his nicknames often highlight an episode.
