‘Battlestar Galactica’: the question of Earth

The second of my four preview/speculations about the final ten episodes of Battlestar Galactica is up now at Film.com. Please comment over there, if you would. So few postings at Film.com seem to generate much conversation in comments, and I’d love to impress the overlords there with something that looks like a comments thread here.

‘Lost’: Season Four on DVD

I cover the new Region 1 DVD release of Season Four of Lost over at Film.com. (It’s also just out in Region 2.) A “recommend” or a comment over at Film.com would be nice, if you feel you can recommend the story or have something interesting to say in a comment. It pleases the Film.com … more…

surprise! Sci Fi in HD

I just discovered, totally by accident, that my cable company is now carrying the Sci Fi Channel in HD. Might have been nice if they’d, I dunno, actually informed me about this exciting programming addition. I wonder how long it’s been available… I wonder what other channels I don’t know I have…

My day started off shitty, with all sorts of hobbling of the site just as I’m starting to build up traffic again. Fantastic. I get some new people in here, and the first thing they see is a messed-up site with half its content missing, or a site that looks okay but when they try … more…

more site strangeness

As you probably noticed, the site was acting bizarrely for much of the day — server errors when you tried to post a comment, then half the content disappearing… I only just collected emails that have been piling up for the last 24 hours, and a day’s worth of email related to a site like … more…

mmm, chocolate

Recently I mentioned feeling blue and needing chocolate. Literally moments later, reader Drave (who is about to launch a site at drave-reviews.com) stepped up to the plate, and offered to get me a fix from his local chocolate pushers, Sahagún Handmade Chocolates in Portland, Oregon. They arrived yesterday. They’re pretty much gone already. It’s hard … more…
