Firefly fandom may turn a college professor into a criminal

September 27, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Respect to James Miller, a professor at teh University of Wisconsin-Stout. Miller had a poster on his door that features Mal and a quote from Captain Tightpants himself. It was torn down by campus police. Miller was warned he was risking “disorderly conduct” and that any future posters would be treated as such. His response? […]

Beyond the Mythbusters trailer

September 13, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I wake up to the TV switching on the Discovery Channel. It’s a pretty good way to ensure there’s something decent on that is capable of pulling the sleepy brain into the world of wakefulness. The Mythbuster trailer is particularly good. It’s good because it sings “hallelujah!” at me and because I’m looking forward to […]

Will Doctor Who be cancelled?

August 29, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood 4 Comments

Doctor Who makes the British red top newspapers often. Why? It’s an easy way to gain attention from blogs like Geek Native and even much bigger blogs that could drive some traffic. In fact, I might even speculate that the offline readership of these right wing rags contain enough people who either see Doctor Who […]

Doctor Who: Prequel to Let’s Kill Hilter

August 15, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The BBC have published a prequel clip to Let’s Kill Hilter. The teasers to the first half of the season where tiny little things; you’d sometimes just get a few seconds of play. That’s not the case this time around; we’re sneaking towards the two minute mark.

Berserk: Golden Age 1 – Egg of the Supreme King trailer

August 3, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I watched my Berserk back during YouTube’s lawless age. I think I got to the end but that they simply stopped the animation. As I recall, after much angst, drama and carefully paced tension – it all went pear shaped, with monsters, tentacles, character deaths and all sorts. It was a sudden turn but it […]

Dragon Age anime trailer

July 28, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Funimation are planning an anime based on the Dragon Age RPG. We’re looking at 2012 for a release; interesting timing as it seems unlikely Dragon Age 3 will be there, but perhaps there will be fresh DLC and pen and paper publisher Green Ronin will certainly be able to step up to the mark. We […]

The Legend of Korra trailer

July 26, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I enjoyed the first book of the Avatar series and haven’t seen any more yet. Never got around to the movie simply due to being busy and all the negative reviews telling me it wasn’t worth the drama of trying to find some time for it. The show has clearly moved on. It looks like […]

Doctor Who trailers

July 25, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is probably the Comic-Con effect. I hear that the Doctor Who sessions have been packed to beyond bursting point. If that’s true then I imagine there’s been bursting. The BBC have released a number of trailers on a number of formats. The two below should cover all the clips off. There’s a big teaser […]

Politics forced Eccleston from Doctor Who

July 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Are you a fan of Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor? If you’re not familiar, there is history in how, why and when Christopher Eccleston left Doctor Who. For his own part, Eccleston has been pretty good at keeping silent on what happened. Now in the Bad Wilf podcast he opens up. Den of Geeks provide […]

BBC to cut gay Torchwood sex scene

July 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

There’s a raunchy sex scene in a yet-to-air episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day. Captain Jack gets it on with a barman. The scene will air as intended in America where Torchwood runs on Starz (who picked up the franchise after the BBC decided they couldn’t support it). The scene will be cut from the episode […]
