NBC has just greenlit a new series by J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, Fringe, Alcatraz), about the end of the world as we know it. Given we are heading toward December 21, 2012 rather quickly it seems to be a popular subject matter for TV and movies. And this time he’s working with an expert about Apocalyptic storylines Eric Kripke (Supernatural).
Revolution is set in the near future where all forms of energy have mysteriously disappeared. Wait aren’t humans and other animals a source of energy, as well as the Sun? Maybe I’m over thinking that bit a little. The usual collection of desperate people struggle to survive and reunite with missing loved ones.
Jon Favreau (Cowboys & Aliens, Iron Man, Iron Man 2) directed the pilot episode. The cast includes Billy Burke (Twilight), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Andrea Roth (Ringer), Tracy Spiridakos (Being Human USA), Graham Rogers and Anna Lise Phillips.
I know this sounds like several other series/movies out there (Survivors, Jericho), but I’ve always enjoyed Abrams and Kripke’s work, so I can’t wait to see what they do together. With the 2 of them involved I’m sure there will be some unusual twist that will set Revolution apart from the pack. I’m just not sure what that is right now. It could be Aliens, it could be paranormal, it could be some strange natural disaster, I have no clue, and that’s what intrigues me about the project. And if nothing else Favreau is a great action director, so I’m expecting lots of good action scenes in the pilot as the world probably quite literally comes crashing down around the main characters.
This is a review of this weeks May 4 episode of Grimm, Happily Ever Aftermath. Another pretty good show.

Ok I gotta say, I never expected to hear this happen.
Glee has announced that their Christmas Special this year will be a tribute to the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. You read that right, the much maligned 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special that George Lucas has spent the last 3 decades trying to erase from existence.
The episode was directed by Mathew Morrison who plays Will Schuester on Glee. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Morrison said:
“We’re doing a Christmas special within the episode of Glee and it’s a throwback and a tribute to the Star Wars holiday special and the Judy Garland Christmas special.”
“We called up George Lucas and he gave us Chewbacca.”
Morrison says that Chewie won’t be singing, but I say let the Wookie sing!

The Lass O’Gowrie will be holding several performances of a brand new adaptation of Russell T. Davies’ Doctor Who episode Midnight. That’s right as a part of their inaugural Midwinter Lassfest running from January 2nd – 29th of 2012, they will be performing an episode of Doctor Who Live in the Salmon Room above the Pub.
This small theater will serve as the claustrophobic setting for the play. The theater will only seat 20, to add to the cramped feeling of the story. Since this is an unofficial adaptation, it will feature neither the Doctor or Donna, and is a not for profit production. Russell T. Davies has given his approval to adapt the script.

This review is for November 18th 2011 episode of Sanctuary called Icebreaker with Amanda Tapping. You will find this simple story is very entertaining with all the twist and turns that take place. And even when you think you know what is going on there seems to always be one more twist. I would rate this episode 4 out of five stars. I would hope you all would listen to the review, to get the full story and how everything happened. But, I have included several promotional pictures just to be sure.

On November 23rd 1963 a new Science Fiction series called Doctor Who first aired on BBC1.
Since that day Doctor Who has gone on to be one of the biggest and longest running SciFi franchises of all time.
Doctor Who holds several Guinness World Records, including the Longest-running Science Fiction Television Series in the World (32 seasons totalling 783 episodes), the “Most Successful” Science Fiction Series of All Time (in terms of its overall broadcast ratings, DVD and book sales, iTunes traffic, and downloads), Most Hugo Award Nominations for Best Dramatic Presentation: Short Form, and Largest Science Fiction Series (based on the longest licensed fictional series based on one principal character, including over 500 novels).
Every year on this day I watch Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child to see where it all began. Then I think to myself, in 4 weeks I’ll be getting an all new Christmas episode of Doctor Who!
Here is the First appearance of the Doctor, in An Unearthly Child. If you haven’t seen it, go pickup the DVD. And Have a Happy Who Day!
