    Justified: New FX Series

    Not a show with a Scifi bent at all, this new show set in Kentucky has Timothy Olyphant playing a US Marshall who is busted down to the 'boondocks' from Miami. Ive just seen the first episode, it has the best opening scene Ive seen in a long time. It is fairly well paced, has action when...

    New Iron Man 2 trailer

    Its a shame that Terrence Howard (Rhodey from IM 1) wasnt in the second movie. His replacement Don Cheadle is great though. From all reports though Howard didnt get along well with the Director. I think the line of 'You dont have to do this alone' from the Trailer summed this version of IM up...

    Underrated Shows

    Another very recent show is Paradox (which I love just for the title). Its a British cop shop with a Scifi twist. It deals with a trio of British Police (and I believe its filmed in Newcastle?), who try to solve crimes BEFORE they happen. Yes I know that sounds familiar, but all the clues they...

    Spartacus - Blood & Sand

    I kinda felt sorry for the invalid Gladiator Ashur in the first couple of episodes. Hes a cunning one and his actions in this episode just to make sure he didnt have to pay out to Barca were.. well not what I expected. Made for great viewing though. You could see that Pietros was the weak link...

    Smallville #11:Absolute Justice/Season 9/2010

    Thanks for the information on Dr Fate. I think in the Nitrogen plant area, Icicle was on top of his game having just recharged (and Ill admit I also know nothing about him at all), Dr Fate made a decision to save the Manhunter instead of himself.. and I have a feeling there was a lot of Kent...

    FRINGE #15:Jacksonville/Season 2/2010

    I think everyone seems to be assuming Olivia and co are going to tel Peter. Im not sure they will right away. A) He is going to think he is joking and B) It would be a big deal for Peter.. could it make him give up on his father altogether?

    Smallville #11:Absolute Justice/Season 9/2010

    Zatanna I believe learned magic from her Father's 'spellbook' and also directly from her father (until of cours it was lost). Mxyzptlk (who Im straining to remember) was from a family of unluck out of the Baltic regions (so likely a common family Metahuman trait). An other 'early' episode.. in...

    scoop: 4e gamma world

    It's strange, I actually preferred the revised editions of Gamma World where the emphasis wasnt so much on the crazyness of things. I ran a Fallout game with the 4th edition of the rules a long time ago that went well. As Scifi (and more importantly post apoc) is my favorite genre Im looking...

    Pathfinder 1E Know Direction: Fan-Generated Pathfinder RPG Podcast

    Thanks, tried that. Found it under Itunes (private sanctuary that is not Know Direction) and subscribed. Something is dodgy there however as it says there are no episodes in Itunes to get.

    Pathfinder 1E Know Direction: Fan-Generated Pathfinder RPG Podcast

    Can you provide an I tunes link so I can download it all? At the moment only the option to download the mp3 files individually I can see.

    Pathfinder 1E Setting: Pathfinder's Golarion

    Forgive me if there was already a thread on the setting already, but I noticed most of the other threads appeared to be purely about mechanics or players views on classes. Thats all fine, but as a player and DM Ive always been far more interested in settings than mechanics. Having just read...

    Firefly

    Firefly was good but not great. I actually did see it in order (speak to me one day about Australian tv views on showing scifi on tv: its far far far worse than Americas). Generally I found the characters interesting (Adam Baldwin always brings his own style to any character he plays). I found...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #6:Water/Season 1/2009

    Was not it mentioned that only Young and Scott were the only 2 who could actually use the suits properly? Im sure I heard something like that spoken. As for the Suit design. Yes it is a reuse of the 'Dark Asgard' suit from the last season of Atlantis, which may tell viewers about the origins of...

    Anyone play an assassin yet?

    We have just had one join our 4e Eberron game. He's a native of Sharn (and was actualyl a rogue, until the player found that he didnt like the rogue that much because of all his damage extras were too conditional) So far I havnt seen much combat with him in the group, but when I do I will keep...

    Stargate Universe

    Don't get me wrong. Im still highly anticipating this series (Im a sucka for all things Stargate). What Im finding interesting is that they are bringing in the whole relatioships angle. Which is certainly far far different for Stargate. Im sure there will still be action, but I think people who...

    Stargate - where to start?

    Welcome to Stargate then. Id look at Sg-1 as two different shows. Essentially you have Seasons 1-5 and then the rest. The tone for the first 5 seasons was quite different to the later stuff (and very pronounced in seasons 9 and 10) Sg-1 is essentially an Adventure-action show whereas Atlantis...

    Supernatural : New Season

    I think it will be the last, at least with the theme we have now. Supernatural was from the start going to be 5 seres only according to Kripke the creator. Even if Jensen is signed for 6, thats only IF it goes to 6. I cant personally see anything more badass than Lucifer.

    Supernatural : New Season

    Howdy, Has anyone seen the season premiere and wants to discuss it? It had some pretty strange revelations, and sets the tone for the last season.

    Dark Sun: The Differences

    As as old time player of Darksun back in the 2e days and owner of a majority of this old DS stuff, I thought Id see if anyone else can remember some strange facts and differences from other campaigns they played back then, which might exist again Dragon Kings was pretty good at providing some...

    Stargate Universe

    I believe Lou Diamond Phillips is on board as a recurring character ( im prediciting his death right here though), Alaina Huffman (from a short lived tv show which name I cant remember), apparently an actress also that used to be on ER (Ming Na?) The first few episodes I believe do features...
