Star Trek Opera. It's about time!

More Lost physics...

This article (like most things I read about Lost) is almost as confusing and convoluted as the show, but I nevertheless found it interesting.

Milennium Falcon Origami

Years ago, Stacey gave me an origami set for my birthday. I may have to see if I have any of that paper left.

Thundercats Movie trailer (fanmade)

Pretty well done. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on.

Space Time...

Whoa, is it just me, or has there been an inordinate amount of time travel, implied time travel, teleportation, and space time continuum rule breaking going on lately on the small screen?

LOST - the island is jumping around in time. In the span of five minutes, we're told you can't change what's happened, and Faraday turns around and changes Desmond's memories. When the hell is Ben? I really liked the new episode (maybe partially because it was more about characters who were not Jack or Kate). Hurley continues to be one of my favorite characters, and I just love the way they handle his relationship with his parents. That being said, I still don't know what on earth is going on... I can't wait for next week.

Fringe - yet again, I don't know what on earth is going on. But there has been some weird science, and teleportation happening on this show in the last two episodes. It really seems to be picking up some steam.

Battlestar Galactica - one more time, don't know what the frak is going on. Was earth full of Cylons, are we all Cylons, who are the 12 colonies? Arrgh. Was Starbuck time travelling, was she resurrected?? So many questions, but to be honest, I can't figure out a way that Starbuck time traveling makes any sense, it has got to be something else. I think I'm also one of the few people not surprised by the 5th final Cylon reveal. I feel like that made sense since it was hinted at an awful lot. But, the question does keep coming up... why are they aging? Someone explain... maybe more answers tomorrow. Woo hoo!

Anyway, it's nice to have these shows back this week. I'm revelling in my geek TV quantity right now.

Let's Get This Party Started

Okay, first things first - OBAMA! Just had to get that out.

Next up, let's talk Galactica's return last week - HOLY MOSES. Did anyone see the identity of the Fifth Cylon coming? Were you as confounded as I was about the Starbuck business? I don't want to get too spoiler-ific here in the main body of the post, since some folks may still be working through their DVR queue (I myself have an episode of Supernatural from November waiting for me), so discuss in the comments if you want.

Suffice to say, it's going to be THE season to watch. If they're giving us big reveals from the get-go, who knows what's going to happen?

In the batter's box: Fringe comes back tonight, and Lost will continue to entrance and frustrate us on Thursday.

To keep an eye out for: Warehouse 13 premieres on Sci-Fi channel this summer, and Joss Whedon's newest, Dollhouse, set to premiere in "early 2009".

Anticipation...

I can hardly contain myself. Battlestar Galactica returns on Friday!!!

THIS is Geektastic.

From the LA Times.

Sanctuary RENEWED!

Hallelujah, the SciFi Channel has renewed my faith and renewed Sanctuary for a second season. This show has only gotten better, and my fears that it would go the way of Dresden Files, which was canceled after only one season. The two-part season finale, Revelations Parts 1 and 2, ended on such a great cliffhanger that I think I would have thrown something at the TV if it weren't coming back.

Great piece of trivia from my friend Chuck - the entire show is created against a greenscreen. It's pretty wild. I just joined the Facebook group for the show, so as I hear any tidbits I'll be sure to share.

We Have a Cloud

So in somewhat geek-related news, I've started grad school this week, and I've already learned how to set up a Cloud. So naturally, I had to feature one here. We're a relatively young blog, so it's got a little ways to go, but I think it's a promising beginning.

The Next Generation... There's Hope

Thank GOD.

Old School Video Game Commercials

Here is a listing of some of the craziest video game commercials ever. This link is hilarious if you ever had any love for Atari, and the original NES system.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone!! I've been out of touch with the blog, but do have to report that my Blackberry Storm has kept me quite happy and in touch with my cyber world this past couple weeks while I've been travelling.

I am loving the screen, and the really nice web browsing experience. Facebook is great, by the way, don't bother with the Facebook app for your phone, the WAP site is much better. More full featured than the limited pages you can view on the app.
