Bionic Showdown

Anyone out there as big a fan of the bionic TV franchise as I am? I’m talking The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, and all the various subsequent TV movies and potential spin-offs, including the failed pilot for The Bionic Boy. I couldn’t get enough of that stuff when I was a kid, but they all paled in comparison to Bionic Six.

KAMN Show #5: The Lathe of Heaven

This week, we head back to the classic bookshelves to discuss Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Lathe of Heaven.

Musings: Painkiller Jane

I just got around to watching the SciFi Original Movie Painkiller Jane. I’ve wanted to see it for over a year… ever since seeing a short promo for it during a longer SciFi Channel promo narrated by Sean Bean when it aired during the first airing of the miniseries for the new Battlestar Galactica.

The premise was interesting, but I was not entirely thrilled by the presentation.

Show #4: Blue Thunder / Airwolf

Today, we spread the love for the gizmos, the gadgets, the weapons, and the stylings of two of our favorite souped-up monster machines. Re-live the explosions and the cheese the way only the 1980′s could bring them to us!

Ninja Fight: Airwolf vs Blue Thunder

Airwolf vs Blue Thunder. Let’s hear your opinions on the show vs the movie, creatively speaking, and copter abilities, technically speaking. You can also argue for or against on whether these qualify as scifi… I always thought they were, simply because of the technology put into the vehicles at the time

TV Shows: Threshold

I really like the planned progression from the “Threshold” to the “Foothold” to the “Stranglehold” contingency plans. It means they’re expecting things to get worse, and we’ll get to see it. That’s what thrilled me about Babylon 5… and that I’ll get to see something similar unfold in a contemporary setting has me intrigued.

TV Shows: Night Stalker RIP

ABC has officially cancelled Night Stalker, and left us with a hanging cliffhanger.

TV Shows: Invasion, and What I Watch

I’ve changed my mind. Invasion is the first series officially deleted from my scheduled recording list.

I gave this show a longer chance than usual, solely because of Shaun Cassidy’s involvement, but I must say now that I’m disappointed.

TV Shows: Night Stalker

Okay, I’ve tried to give the new Night Stalker a chance.

Old School Knows No Bounds

My old school tendencies go way beyond scifi and fantasy when it comes to entertainment. I am a sucker for a good Western movie… I’ve loved them ever since I can remember.

So when I see a book like this on the shelves, I feel compelled to buy it.
