Star Wars Interview: John Jackson Miller Talks Past, Present, & Future

Does Orientation also refer to a genre outside of space opera? It is very much a military school story. It takes place at the equivalent of an Annapolis or West Point for the Imperial Navy. There are parallels to that in history. There were various sailing schools and technical, navigation schools in British naval history. So it should feel similar to other stories in that regard. What kind of ideas lead to the development of Baylo?...

Veep: Convention Review

Its like Christmas, but happy. Here is our review of Veep Season 4 episode 5. The episode opens with the presidents daughter Catherine (Sarah Sutherland) being groomed to introduce her future groom.

Should we really fear movie sequels?

My first thought was Oh, Pitch Perfect 2 is coming out. My second thought, sadly, was Hurm. Do we really need a Pitch Perfect sequel? (This is the crucial thought so remember this). My third thought was Ah, its coming out on the same week as Mad Max: Fury Road. Theres your sequel pitch Mad Max: The Rockatansky Rock-Off. Do we really need a Pitch Perfect sequel? My internal monologue then got really angry at myself....

Looking back at the Discworld video game

Playing it now, it lasts about 60 seconds. Ill have finished the game in about an hour at this rate. Except that, for various reasons, Ive never actually finished it before.

Its a game where you might be forgiven for saving before clicking on absolutely anything. Even with half-remembered progress from the late 90s, theres usually something youve forgotten....

Louie: Untitled Review

Louie gets unhinged by dream sequences. Here is our review. Nearly all of Untitled takes place in a space between the real world and dreams. Honestly, this is the sort of thing that has the potential to easily piss off the audience. This episode mostly gets away with it because it lets you in on the joke pretty early on. In other words, in a dream, the writer can throw in any old shit he wants....

Doctor Who’s take on UK prime ministers

Incarnations of the Doctor are a bit like British prime ministers. Writer Mark Gatiss subverts that by having Churchill borrow the Daleks to fight the Nazis. And then theres all that interstellar Spitfire business. Keep buggering on, indeed. In any case, this allowed the production team to make some sci-fi speculations about their prospective future. Were turning the alarm off now. Russell T. Davies modernisedDoctor Whoby taking an askance view of contemporary pop culture and politics....
