EPISODE REVIEW: Futurama: “The Mutants are Revolting” (Season 6, episode 12)
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 23:05This is both the alleged season finale, and the 100th episode of the series. I’d planned to make a snaky* joke about how it took them so long to get to that point, and how that averages out to such a low number per year, but the Hermes actually beat me to the punch on that one before the first commercial break So, disappointed, off we go to the recap

CLASSICS FOR KIDS: “Star Wars, Episode V:The Empire Strikes Back” (1980)
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 00:00[NOTE: This is a review by Republiboy, age 11, who’d never seen Empire Strikes Back before, and didn’t like Star Wars at all. Just for point of reference, his favorite SF movie of all time is "Babylon 5: A Call To Arms."]
I thought this movie was far better than the previous one. I liked C3PO a lot less, however, and Chewie was a lot less entertaining. I enjoyed the sequence on Hoth, I personally feel that was the best part. I really didn’t like any of the things that happened on Deggobah, and Yoda was rather annoying. But I must say, I really enjoyed the movie as a whole.

Submitted by neorandomizer on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 00:46It’s the last Tuesday in August and we get a new Warehouse 13 with no real guest stars. But hot Asian agent is back for a bit.

BOOK REVIEW: "Destiny's Forge" by Paul Chafe (2006)
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 00:00The Man-Kzin Wars series has been running for about 20 years now, but I've generally avoided them. I read volume 1 when it came out, and though there was nothing wrong with it, it had the feeling of product rather than passion to me. While I enjoyed the idea of other writers "Playing in Mr. Niven's Garden" so to speak, it just felt wrong to me in actual practice. For me, personally, Niven's "Known Space" universe is inseparable from Niven's own jaunty writing style and everpresent neat ideas.

EPISODE REVIEW: Eureka: “The Ex Files” (Season 4, Episode 8)
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Fri, 08/27/2010 - 22:35Last time, as you’ll recall, the Space Family Robinson had traveled through time to the year 1948, where they were mistaken for aliens by the local rednecks. However, as that was another show, and had nothing to do with the time travel incident that kicked off this season of Eureka, we’ll ignore it. Also, it took place a year afterwards.

EPISODE REVIEW: Futurama: “Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences” (Season 6, Episode 11)
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Thu, 08/26/2010 - 23:00No, that’s not a typo, that’s really the title. Really.
As those of you with no life (Like me!) might have surmised, Lrrr is back. He‘s the evil alien overlord who tried to destroy the world a few years back because he missed an episode of Ally McBeal, back in the days when people still gave a rat’s ass about that show. (Episode two, I think? Maybe early episode three. Definitely before Billy died, at any rate.)

BLUEPRINTS: Star Trek: “Excelsior”
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Thu, 08/26/2010 - 00:00As we talked about last time, there’s a lot of fanfic blueprints out there, some of them painstakingly accurate, some painfully inaccurate, some of ships that never existed in any franchise, and those that take a lot of liberties with the subject matter. The interesting thing about the ‘liberty-taking’ ones is that sometimes they represent an improvement over the source material.

EPISODE REVIEW: Warehouse 13: "Merge with Caution" (Season 2 Episode 8)
Submitted by neorandomizer on Wed, 08/25/2010 - 01:43It’s Tuesday night and once again time for a Warehouse 13 review.
SPOILERS!
The previously on Warehouse 13 was heavy on Pete’s old drinking problem and Myka working with Pete.

EPISODE REVIEW: Futurama: “The Prisoner of Benda” (Season 6, Episode 10)
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Thu, 08/19/2010 - 23:14My thinking going into this episode was “They’re going to have to try really hard to be anywhere as good as last week, and being better than last week is clearly out of the question.” Then I heard this was a brain-switching episode, and those are always comedy gold, right? I mean, if Kim Possible can pull off a hilarious Brain Switch episode - if Chowder can pull off a good one, for gosh sakes - then it’s pretty much a gimmie, right?
