WE RULE MEDIA

It is strange to me to see that we (Sci-Fi) folks rule media. But we are about to let the ONLY existing TV show that truly has Ethics, Morals, Science and Fiction fade away without a whimper or a valiant stand.As a Summer replacement ABC gave us DEFY

CB'S POV: “Lost” in the Desert, or Jesus vs. Magneto (AMC’s “The Prisoner”)

I miss the butler. And the guys on that see-saw cam rig. I blame J.J. Abrams, Jeffrey Lieber and Damon Lindelof for it.This is the trio who created Lost, which now is the standard for “cerebral” drama. You take a bunch of disparate character, put the

CB'S POV: Giving You a Number and Takin’ ‘Way Your Name (“The Prisoner”)

On the eve of AMC’s remake of The Prisoner, let us take a moment to look back on the original 1967 series (currently available on DVD, Blu-ray and On Demand). Each episode began with what is still the best opening sequence of any television show to d

CB'S POV: Leapin' Lizards! (“V”)

They look like us. And they have a plan…No, it’s not Cylons this time, it’s the V’s.With everything old being new again it’s hard to surprise. Easy to disappoint: there are plans for a Battlestar Galactica movie, but it won’t be based on the reimagin

CB'S POV: Defying Logic ("Defying Gravity")

I have to admit, the first time I heard about ABC’s new series Defying Gravity (10 PM ET) the first thing I thought of was the song from Wicked (a play about the persecution of a person of color). When I saw it was about space exploration I thought,

CB'S POV: Toys in the Attic ("Warehouse 13")

Remember that last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the guy rolls the Ark into this warehouse that seems to go on forever and it was full of all these other crates and you said to yourself or a companion moving rapidly away from you, “Boy, would

The Bamboozled Entertainment Television Awards Show

Hey all,I know this has NOTHING to do with SPEC. FIC. but I have to ask your opinions. I watched the BET awards to see the MJ "tributes" that turned out to be nothing more than spoofs with the exception of Ne-yo and New Edition. How can we put a stop

CB'S POV: SFTV (The 2008-2009 Season)

Should we start considering cop shows as SF shows? Arguably, you could solve the crimes on Numb3rs without the "beautiful mind" graphics, but without the science component, would there even be a Bones or a CSI: Anything? Even "old school" cops on sho

CB'S POV: The Final Frontier, Part 3 (Racism on Star Trek: The Original Series)

So, the five-year mission is over, Kirk is now an admiral, and maybe he's mellowed, right? When the young Vulcan science officer, who he personally recommended for the Enterprise, is killed by (wait for it, wait for it…) a transporter accident, Kirk

CB'S POV: The Final Frontier, Part 2 (Racism on Star Trek: The Original Series)

Remember the episode with Lurch, where they made an android Kirk and to make sure Spock would know it wasn't him, Kirk kept repeating, "Mind your own business, Mr. Spock, I'm tired of your half-breed interference!" Wouldn't "Mind your own business,"

CB'S POV: The Final Frontier, Part 1 (Racism on Star Trek: The Original Series)

Star Trek was the product of two centuries, the 23rd (when it took place) and the 20th (when it was filmed). Although progressive in many ways (recurring minority characters who were not servants, subservient, childish or childlike and who spoke flue

Sci Fi and 'Cable' Television Rant (Gotta have one a year)

I've been mourning my loss of 'Eureka' for way too long (supposedly it returns on July 10th). The SciFi channel is seriously wack! How is it possible that they would even think to air the ECW? Wrestling! Fiction? Of course, but definitely not of the
