Doctor Who: Amy Flirts With Amy?
While we’re waiting for BBC America to begin running the new season of Doctor Who, here’s a bit of mind-boggling, wibbly-wobbly, timey-whimey prestidigitation to hold us all over. The senses-staggering conclusion follows the jump. Enjoy!
DVD Review-Scarecrow & Mrs. King: The Complete Second Season – Reliving Lighthearted Eighties Television
Own It On DVD as of March 22, 2011 It was the Eighties, a time when beautiful housewives with big hair were too busy getting into escapades with handsome spies with manly names to worry about being desperate! It was a time when shows with a touch of innocence to them like Scarecrow and Mrs. […]
Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen – Nifty Food; Whiny Chef!
I get how Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen [Tuesdays, 10/9C] would appeal to the brass at Syfy. Chef Marcel Vigneron specializes in molecular gastronomy, with techniques that meld cutting edge science with traditional culinary expertise to produce [when it works] dishes that are out of this world.

Limitless Is Limited But Effective!
The central conceit of Limitless is this: what would happen if there was a drug that could literally allow a person to use 100% of their brain? According to current scientific belief, we only use 10-20%, maximum. Eddie Morra [Bradley Cooper] is a struggling writer. He hasn’t written a word of his novel, but he’s […]
Paul Is A Full-Out Nerdgasm!
Paul is an affectionate parody of all things geek – comics, skiffy [which is how you pronounce sci-fi if you’ve been reading it forever] and pop culture. Two British nerds/geeks have an alien encounter as they tour America’s UFO hot spots and weirdness – and hilarity – ensue.
