Episode Acknowledgment: FlashForward:"Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road" (Season 1, Episode 18)
Okay, between longer than anticipated football scrimmages and other real-life difficulties, my review of this week's FlashForward will be late. I did catch a bit of it, though...
So Janis isn't a mole, she's a double mole. What do you call a double mole, Cindy Crawford?
Olivia has discovered Baltar's secret hospital hidey hole. D. Frost used it to flashforward savants to help him map the future.... so Baltar knows more than he can probably express cogently.
The Fear of Space
The other day I found a movie on the web called ‘The Day the Sky Exploded,’ a French film made in 1958; one of many that shows a fear of man exploring space. This is not the fear of space that some people have like the fear of the ocean, which is a form of agoraphobia. No, I am speaking of the fear of the consequences of man exploring space.
RETROSPECULATIVE TV: Space:1999 : "Earthbound" (Season 1, Episode 5)
Ah! The return of Commisioner Simmons. Simmons is complaining that they are doing nothing to return to Earth. Well, he's right. They are more concerned with surviving right now, but thanks for asking, Mister Simmons.

The last Space Shuttle flight has been rescheduled for November and with launches scheduled for May and September the 30 year history of the Shuttle ends with a rush to complete the ISS. Funds for the Shuttle program run out in December of this year so NASA is pressing to get the last three flights off the ground.
Nature Needs Us More Than We Need It
This is a new idea I've been toying with, so bear with me, please try to be objective, and sound off in the comments as to whether I'm on to something, or completely off my nut, or if there's some intermediate position between the two.
ORIGINAL FICTION: "Moving Day"
Today we present another new story. It's a piece of flash fiction by our own Neorandomizer. To tell you more would be to tell you too much, so read on!

“Dear it’s time.”
The man looked at his wife standing in the door and sighed. He stood and followed her. He did not bother to turn off the wall viewer playing a video file of unicorns running across a field of pink grass.
Episode Review:Doctor Who: The Beast Below (Episode 758)
As a parent, I have often been called on to scare off the Monster Under the Bed. In fact, according to the current crop of Doctor Who producers, that's the Doctor's job as well-- to be scarier than the monster under the bed. Well, what if the monster is a good monster, and provides the means for you to survive in an environment that's even scarier? That's the question tonight's Doctor Who asks,
SATURDAY AFTERNOON B-MOVIE CRAPFEST: “The Day The Sky Exploded” (1958)
I was just thinking the other day how I’m kinda’ tired of American B-movie SF. I mean, I enjoy it, don’t get me wrong, but occasionally you just need a little variety, you know? A different perspective? A bracing little bit of spice, just to season my steady diet of Steak and ‘Taters.
EPISODE REVIEW: Generator Rex : “The Day Everything Changed” (Season 1, Episode 1)
At some point in the not-too-distant future, there’s a “Nanite Event” which releases nanobots around the world, where they infect every living thing. Shortly afterward, an amnesiac child turns up with the ability to use the nanites to change his physical form to transform parts of his body into weapons or vehicles or what have you. He’s named “Rex.” Fairly soon after this all happens, some of the infected start to go wonky from the nanites, turning into giant, repulsive, freaky-looking monsters.
EPISODE REVIEW: Ben 10 Ultimate Alien : “Fame” (Season 1, Episode 1)
