This infographic just about fits inside the Tardis. Just about. K9 and Kamelion are on this chart creators have done the right thing and counted them as Companions. Got to say; this infographic reminds me of how much I disliked Visior Turlough when I watched the show as a young pre-blogger. I suspect I’d find […]
The characters in a Game of Thrones are Muppets
Wait. I think the title of this blog post may be wrong. Did I say the characters in a Game of Thrones are Muppets? I meant to say that here’s what the characters in a Game of Thrones would look like as Muppets. Who would you pick to play the Onion Knight? These rather clever […]
Game of Thrones s2 title card
Game of Thrones has finished its run in the US and, today, in the UK. It’s been a hit. This is good news for those who watched it because HBO have already lined up season 2. Hopefully non-Sky channels will be able to grab it in the UK – FX, I’m looking at you. HBO […]
Zavvi’s anime campaign produces dangerously naughty ad
I’ve a small treasure chest of anime shipping its way to me thanks to Zavvi’s sale/party for Manga’s 20th birthday. Now, because I’ve been on their site, their retargeting campaign has kicked in. They’re using Struq which is a pretty good set up but a combination of typos and awkward headlines have produced this. The […]
Noir live action TV series
Watch how I avoid making “Noir of the living dead” jokes as I reveal that Sam Raimi is involved in a Starz backed “Noir” live action. Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are co-producers; this is the Xena: Warrior Princess team, they are the same people who brought us Spartacus: Blood and Sand and Gods of […]
Supernatural: One Year Gone review
Supernatural: One Year Gone is a book that fits in between series 5 and series 6 of the TV show of the same name. This review doesn’t dig deep into spoiler territory for series 6 but if you’re not caught up with series 5, are worried about spoilers then you may enjoy it more to […]
Karigurashi no Arrietty / Arrietty review
Arrietty was the anime to feature in the Edinburgh International Film Festival before a general UK release in July. Without question; it’s a film to watch. The film is based on Mary Norton’s The Borrowers. I’ve not read the book. I’ve not seen the children’s TV series made by the BBC or even the 1997 […]
Craig Engler of @SyFy talking about social TV at Mashable Connect
Mashable, a large social media blog that you’ll have heard of, invited Craig Engler to their Connect conference to talk about Social TV. Engler is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Syfy Digital. Expectations got the better of me. Based on the headline “Social TV” I expected Craig to be talking about the […]
More pictures from Syfy’s new sci-fi TV show and MMO
The working title for this project still seems to be Defiance although I’m sure it was announced as One Earth at the start of the year. The TV Defiance series is being produced by Universal Cable Productions, written by Rockne O’Bannon – who’s worked previously on Farscape, Warehouse 13, Alien Nation and DSV. The MMO […]
Terminix channels Lovecraft horrors via the TV
I love the Scottish summer. It’s my favourite week of the year. One advantage of Scotland’s weather is that there’s far less pesky insects. There’s nothing that’s really going to eat your house. We’re not all so lucky. Over in the States there’s a company called Terminix that earns its income from helping homeowners deal […]
