LOST Season 6 predictions

In anticipation of the last good serialized sci-fi show left on TV starting it’s final season tonight, I’d like to offer up my predictions for what LOST fans may anticipate over the coming weeks.

The Oceanic 815 survivors will make it off the island, only to realize they left the coffee pot on and have to [...]

Talking lemons and porn stars: a small collection of 30 Rock parodies

Okay, even though this season has gotten off to a rough start, 30 Rock is still one of my all-time favorite TV shows.  And, given my documented fondness for Sesame Street, you can imagine how tickled I was to find this very clever send-up sketch, entitled “30 Rocks.”

A recent trip to Blockbuster resulted in my obtaining the above pictured DVDs: Serenity, Futurama: Bender’s Big Score, and Battlestar Galactica: Razor.  If there were a Geiger-counter-like device that could detect levels of geektitude, the table where I took this photo would break the needle.
I’ve actually seen Serenity a few times before — even more than once when [...]
