What do you think of the rebranding from the Sci-Fi channel to the SyFy channel? I hear some grumbles. To be honest, though, I hear more grumbles about the content (not Sci-Fi enough) than how well the rebranding was done. This might be because there are few sci-fi geeks in adland or it might because […]

Doctor Who Bloopers
Doctor Who featured heavily in a section in Robert Webb‘s “Great TV Mistakes”. An up to date and rather geeky blooper reel show. Thankfully, the ever present and lightening quick Blogtor Who has managed to track down each clip and compile them into a single vid. Thanks Cameron. Have a watch. Do you think they’re […]
Avatar: The Last Airbender / Scott Pilgrim mashup
Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright tweet that this mashup was the best one yet. I’m kinda chuffed that directors like Mr Wright are in touch with the fan movement enough to a) have a twitter account and b) spot the mashups while they’re still hot and new. It’s pretty good. Avatar: The Last Airbender meets […]
Scotland Loves Anime
Here’s a charity worth supporting: Scotland Loves Anime. They’re coordinating a festival/series of anime screenings in Scotland and it seems like an absolute age since the last one so these screenings are likely to be popular indeed. The festival will be taking place from the 8th to 10th of October in Glasgow and the 15th […]
Torchwood: The New World
The BBC and Starz will be working together on the next series of Torchwood. For many it might be the first series of Torchwood they’ve ever seen. This is the series of Torchwood that has to follow Children of Earth. It won’t be easy. In order to get traction in America we can expect – […]
The Supernatural anime trailer
The CW‘s Supernatural starting Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles is to go anime. The anime will be produced by Mad House for Warner Bros. There’s a website up already but it’s in Japanese except for the pages which say “Coming Soon” – which is about all of them. Of note is the low low price […]
Manta’s Doctor Who
Not only is Adam Hills a great comedian who pops over to this blogger’s home town of Edinburgh for the comedy festival – he happens to have a shown down under called Spicks and Specks. We therefore have both Adam Hills and Spicks and Specks to thank for sharing Manta with the world and their […]
Summer time lapse of a life-sized Gundam
Anime heroes tend to come and go. Sure, the likes of Bleach, Dragonball Z or even Pokemon have been around for years – but compare that to Batman or Superman. Compare those to the likes of the Phantom or the Shadow. I’m no expert but my gut feeling is that Gundam is one of the […]
Firefly as Star Trek
Here’s one that comes to us via the blog once known as SciFi Wire and now rebranded as Blastr. What we have here is an example of the fine art of photoshop. It’s the Firefly crew as the Star Trek crew. Which Star Trek crew? Not so sure.
Extended Supernatural trailer is YouTube hit
In the States, on The CW, Supernatural returns on Friday, Sept 24th. The station posted an extended trailer for the show – 1 minute and 11 seconds long – on YouTube on July the 30th. On Sunday it was one of the most popular videos on YouTube. Not bad, not bad all Winchesters. What do […]
