George Allen Miller One Geek's take on all things SciFi

So, I have a prediction to make. And the title of this post pretty much says what that is. But before I actually fully declare it, i'll go into some background and why I'm saying it. In case you haven't heard, or just don't care, American Horror Story season two will not be about the Harmons and the murder house. It will, in fact, be a totally separate story. A story with new characters, new plot, new location, everything. The ghosts of the murder house are just stuck there forever and we never do get to find out what is keeping them there. I'm a little disappointed in that. I thought there was a bigger plot going on here. I mean, a house where the dead get stuck is pretty cool but don't we get to find out what is going on? I mean, technically, the plot is the bad guys win and the Harmon's are are stuck there too. But, because they are all also dead, they become the perfect 'stuck' family and take control of the house to prevent anyone else getting ... More

{EAV:91589507ff8906b1} So, the thought occurred to me while watching Fringe the other night. Something that really kinda unravels the entire current story line for me. So, please, read and if you think i'm wrong, let me know. I don't think I am. The logic here is that Peter never existed because he was never saved by the observers in the lake. Simple. Well, here's some history so we know how and why this breaks down. Walter couldn't save his son. Walter's Peter died and that hasn't changed. Walter was never able to cure him. But, he was able to build a looking glass into the other universe. He witnessed Walternate's son go through the same thing as his own son. Walter watched as Walternate, using superior technology, came up with drug cocktails to try to cure him. When Walternate stumbled upon the correct concoction, an observer came into the room, distracted Walternate, and as a result he missed the crucial moment when the chemicals were mixing together. Because of that intrusion by the observer, Walternate never got the cure. This forced Walter's hand and he ... More

This is a late in coming post. I have been busy doing other things. And, I know, no one really comes to this blog that often so who cares. Why do I keep it up? I'm horny for writing, what can I tell you. Anyway, this summer Torchwood moved to Starz, added a ton of money to the budget, brought in some big name actors, and apparently, hired all the writers from Tremors the series. What I mean to say here is the show sucked. It was really terrible. They, the writers, producers or perhaps management at Starz, took a great show with a great concept and took a big shit on it. Ok, so I know you can't make statements like that without backing it up, so here goes.

1. They made Torchwood some kind of outcasts. Yes, this worked fine in Children of Earth but really, you can't keep going to that well. Torchwood operated with Government approval for hundreds of years. Jack had contacts in every government on Earth. Why do they keep making them outcasts? Dumb. The show worked just fine, and

Why am I the only person to have seen this show? None of my friends have. Which worries me. Either I have really lame friends or this show is just not watched that much. I can live with having really lame friends. I'm already married so looking for a chick is something in the past. But if no one is watching it then it could be canceled. After losing Eureka recently, I really would hate to think I could be losing Ugly Americans too. If you haven't seen this show and are curious, please watch. It's on Thursdays on comedy central. Its about a social worker named Mark that dates a half demon, has a zombie as a roomate and a 400 year old wizard as an assistant. How fucking good is that? The show is simply hysterical. For instance, Mark's zombie roomate was recently turned into a half plant half zombie, whose leaves made a di-aging cream, and had to be moved to a greenhouse so he could mature and create new plants. Only then did he return to full zombie state. This ... More

In case you haven't heard, Eureka is done for. The masters of SyFy have decided to end this series and send it down to the depths where Farscape lives. All I can say about this is, what a fucking suck. Ok, I get it, Eureka costs a lot of money to make and right now it's not making that amount in advertising. But is it not making that amount with drawing in users to other shows on SyFy? Is not Eureka drawing in other viewers to other shows? I have to say I think that it is. I am really fearing that SyFy is returning the days when they got rid of Farscape and replaced it with Tremors the series. Yes, I do remember you did this you bastards and I will never forget it. And you better not be doing it again! SyFy really turned a corner when BSG came out. They grew some balls and attacked the science fiction genre with gusto. I praise them for their success over the last several years. But please, for the love of god, don't ... More
