EPISODE REVIEW: Eureka: “The Ex Files” (Season 4, Episode 8)

Last 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: Eureka: “The Story of O2” (Season 4, Episode 4)

Gosh, Allison is pretty.

Actually, I guess I should say “Salli Elise Richardson-Whitfield” is pretty, despite having a ludicrous mouthful of a name. She’s just stunning. I think probably half the episodes of Eureka I’ve sat through - especially in the early days, when I really didn’t have a clue as to what manner of fish this series was - was primarily because she’s just stunning.

EPISODE REVIEW: Eureka: “Founders’ Day” (Season 4, Episode 1)

In typical Sci-Fi/Syfy behavior, there’s been a ten-month gap between the end of last season and the start of this one. As such, some review is in order: When last we saw Eureka ( http://www.republibot.com/content/episode-review-eureka-%E2%80%9Cwhat-go... ), Zoe had gone off to college with her annoying boyfriend, Tess took a new job in Australia, and that’s pretty much that. Ok, admittedly not all that much to catch up with, but still…

Review:"The Phantom" (SyFy, 2010)

Okay, the Phantom isn't exactly within our mandate. He's more pulp than Science Fiction, but he's got a couple of things going for him that scoot him in under the radar as far as I'm concerned. 1)He's a pioneer in the superhero genre, being the first 'long underwear' type, predating Superman by a year and a half. 2)The character himself is quite interesting, being a man who stands between the two worlds of mysticism and science 3)It's a pilot on SyFy, which means that we have to at least peek at it 4)It was on. The Father to Son legacy inherent in the Phantom mythology made this an oddly appropriate miniseries to air on Father's Day. Odd, because SyFy has shown itself to be particularly insensitive to that sort of thing. I'll have to assume it was an accident.Read more!

EPISODE REVIEWS: Stargate Universe: “Incursion, Part II” (Season 1, Episode 20,) SEASON FINALE

You know, it really wasn’t all that good. We were on a great run: of the last 12 or 13 episodes, with that one ‘dream bug’ episode, they were all good-to-great. Last week’s episode was a step down, but I forgave it as it was an intermezzo in a three-part story. This week’s even-less-satisfying episode is a cliffhanger that won’t be resolved until October, so, really, this one is *also* an intermezzo.

That’s one intermezzo to many.

Anyway, the Lucians still have the gate room, Chole and Eli are still lost, stuff still sucks all ‘round.

EPISODE REVIEW: Stargate Universe: “Incursion (Part 1)” (Season 1, Episode 19)

There’s a degree of parallelism between the three-part series premier and this three-part season finale. We’ve got most of the classic SG1 team turning up - Jack, Daniel, Sam - we’ve got the Lucien Alliance, we’ve got people traveling to the ship and things not going exactly as planned, and we’ve got problems with the air supply, and we’ve got yet another Icarus-like planet blowing up. Daniels’ even a cameo on a DVD, just like in the premier.

EPISODE REVIEW: Stargate Universe: “Subversion” (Season 1, Episode 18)

With tonight’s episode, SGU officially becomes the best SF show on the air. I’d even go so far as to say what they did tonight is superior to anything we’re seeing out of Lost at the moment, and that’s high praise indeed. This is also the episode where “Universe” finally took it’s own place alongside the previous two Stargate shows as an equal, as opposed to the frustrating departure from form it started out as. And best of all: no musical montages tonight!
