The Clone Wars

Filed under Family, Movies, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

I took Xander to see Clone Wars today.  We both had a great time.  I’d heard a lot of bad things about the movie, but we both enjoyed it.  It’s possible that the fact that I’d heard bad reviews lowered my expectations enough that I was happy with what I saw, I don’t know.  More [...]

Terminator

See, Sarah Connor Chronicles was supposed to suck.  I’d already written it off as a pointless show that would die a quick death.  Then the writers strike hit, and Kate and I decided we’d give it a shot.  It turns out, it’s great!  Who would have guessed.  I’ve only seen three episodes so far and [...]

Harry Potter Finished

by @ Sunday, July 22nd, 2007. Filed under Books, Family, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Kate and I just finished.  No spoilers.  But, wow.  Well done Jo.

Harry Potter Update

423 pages done today. 361 more pages to do tomorrow. No spoilers here, but it has been quite a ride so far.

Books Acquired

by @ Saturday, July 21st, 2007. Filed under Books, Family, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Kate just got home with our Harry Potter books. We’ve decided to start on them first thing in the morning when our minds are a bit fresher.

Harry Potter

by @ Thursday, July 19th, 2007. Filed under Books, Family, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Well, I finished my reread of the first 6 Harry Potter books last night. So now I’m just waiting for Midnight Saturday morning when we’ll get our hands on book 7. In the meantime, I’m pretty much avoiding as much Internet and television as I can in an attempt to not be spoiled on what [...]

Heroes Returns!

by @ Tuesday, April 24th, 2007. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

Heroes returned last night! It hit the ground running. It really is my favorite show at the moment. My only hope is that it doesn’t suffer from the same problems that Lost has in its later seasons, not being able to sustain the parts of the show that made it so amazing. I still watch [...]

Xander’s First Doctor Who

by @ Saturday, April 14th, 2007. Filed under Family, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

Xander got to watch his first episode of Doctor Who today! We watched Destiny of the Daleks together this afternoon. Xander loved it. Mira wasn’t as impressed and wandered in and out of the room several times. Xander was engrossed. At least after the boring parts were over with. That series starts out a bit [...]

Stargate’s Back!

by @ Friday, April 13th, 2007. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

The planets have finally come into alignment. Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis are back tonight. I’ll be sorry to see the final episodes of SG-1 roll around, but at least there are 2 more movies scheduled for that. It’s been a great, fun series and we’ll miss it when it is gone. Now, if April 23rd [...]

Lost Secrets

by @ Friday, September 15th, 2006. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

Over the summer, ABC has been spooning out secrets about Lost. Apparently the spooning is over. Someone has posted the completed video on YouTube.

Battlestar Galatica Spin-off

by @ Wednesday, April 26th, 2006. Filed under Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Television

Today Sci Fi announced a spin-off of Battlestar Galatica. It’s called Caprica and would focus on that world 50 years before Battlestar Galatica. It looks like it will feature the creation of the Cylons. My family loves Battlestar Galatica, even my Mom and Dad watch it, so I’m very excited about this show as well.

Serenity

by @ Friday, October 14th, 2005. Filed under Movies, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Kate and I got to see Serenity tonight. It was amazing. I’m so sorry that show didn’t get to play out the way he had planned. The movie did a great job of giving a sense of closure to everything. We are looking forward to the DVD coming out so we can watch it over [...]

Finshed the Book

by @ Wednesday, July 20th, 2005. Filed under Books, Personal, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Just finshed Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Wow. When does book 7 come out?

Harry Potter Update

by @ Sunday, July 17th, 2005. Filed under Books, Personal, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Kate is finished. I’ve a little over half way through. I hope to be finished by Wednesday night.

Harry Potter

by @ Saturday, July 16th, 2005. Filed under Books, Personal, Sci-Fi/Fantasy

Kate picked us up two copies of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today. I finished rereading Order of the Phoenix this afternoon, and I’ve started in on the new one. Kate is well ahead of me, she finished rereading V last night.
