    Stars you can't believe are no longer with us

    It's an odd thing, but for some reason I really struggle to believe that Farrah Fawcett is no longer with us. As a kid I couldn't decided who I loved more, Lee Majors as the Six Million Dollar Man or his wife as Jill Munroe in Charlie's Angles. The two of them had a massive impact on my...

    What show brought you to Star Trek?

    I'm interested in knowing which of the Trek shows initially brought people to Star Trek. And, is that still your Trek of choice? For me, I came to Trek in the 70s through TOS, then I deviated big time into TNG in the 90s. Now I'm discovering Voyager, but I'll always be an Original series fan...

    Who carries the Olympic torch

    Matt Smith carrying the Olympic flame. Looks like he's the first to carry it in Wales, judging by the number on his tracksuit. Here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Matt-Smith-Carries-the-Flame-for-the-Games I wanted to call this threat "Torch....something or other" but I...

    Secret Santa - does your workplace have one?

    We have Secret Santa every year at where I work. Everyone's names are put into an envelope and then there's a secret draw. The gift limit is £5 and the gifts are distributed at our office Christmas meal. We are a small workplace, just 15 staff. This year I was allocated someone in the...

    Echo/Faith (Dollhouse/BTVS) question

    I was re-watching Dollhouse last night, the season 2 opener "Vow". At one point Echo's character remarks that Jamie Bamber's character has a "work ethic" in the sack. The line is delivered by ED in such a way that it reminded me of Faith. Then it got me thinking, since the line was so...

    Hustle (BBC UK)

    Like a lot of good stuff, I came to this late - right at the end of season 7 with just 3 episodes to go. I've just watched the final episode, and like the previous ones, I thought it was very good. I love the way London looks in this show, all great arcitecture and impressive panoramas. I...

    Bionic Woman 2007 - Your thoughts?

    I've been having something of a BW and SMDM revival over the last couple of months. I'm massively enjoying the two shows which I enjoyed as a kid. I had a lot of antipathy towards the new Bionic Woman show, but I caught a couple of trailers and part of an episode on Youtube this morning and I...

    The Accused (Eccleston)

    I haven't seen anyone comment on this yet, so I thought I'd start a thread. I had this lying on my hard drive for a couple of weeks and watched it last night. Chris' episode was the first in a series of standalone stories written by Jimmy McGovern concerning the subject of people finding...

    Pulp Fiction

    I spent this afternoon watching Pulp Fiction again. It's something I see every few years or so. This time I watched it with my niece. I always enjoy watching favourite things with people who haven't seen them before, but who I reckon will enjoy them. I'm still jazzed seeing John Travolta...

    The Road (novel)

    I've just finished this book. Like a lot of people, I read it in only a few sittings. It's several hours since I finished the final page and it's still lingering with me, the themes, and imagery and the characters. Even though they were nameless and their dialogue semi-reported, these...

    Doctor Who on Children in Need SPOLIERS

    Matt and Karen appeared as themselves with Matt in costume on the Tardis set at this year's BBC Children in Need. They greeted a couple of young fans who had suffered from meningitis when they were younger, and treated them to afternoon tea. I found it a little bit awkward for the adults, who...

    The Terminator and T2 after all these years

    I've just watched The Terminator and T2 back to back over the course of the day. It's years since I've seen either of them. I'd forgotten what a great, compact story the original film was. I'd forgotten how much time they spend in the future with Kyle. I think it gives him a character...

    Amazing colour photos of Depression era America

    I found these photos captivating, moving and resonant - and they aren't even from my culture. Go here: http://extras.denverpost.com/archive/captured.asp

    Gandalf reduced to begging

    Not really, but an amusing and endearing story about Sir Ian McKellen being mistaken for a tramp outside an Australian theatre when he took a break from rehearsing his play Waiting for Godot. More here...

    Heads up UK folk: Who Day on Sci Fi

    There's a Doctor Who day today (Easter Monday) on the UK Sci Fi channel. Looks like they are showing about 6 stories, which are repeated later in the day if your viewing clashes earlier on. :)

    Saturn 3

    I bought this a couple of weeks back, after Farrah died. I'm not sure why, probably because I wanted to mark her passing and I hadn't seen the film in an age. I'm not really sure what I thought of it. It must be 25 years since I last saw it, and even then I'm not sure how or where. I was...

    Buffy season 4

    Found myself at a loose end today and caught an episode of season 4 Buffy. I haven't seen this season since it first aired, and I have to say, on first watching back in the day I was so disappointed with this season. Anyway, I've just watched the final 5 epiodes of the fourth season and I was...
