That, and going by the fans I come across on Tumblr, fans like us are dwindling. The modern fandom is filled with shippers and fan fic writers, who just want attractive actors that they can pair up in imaginary partnerships instead of thought-provoking SF. There are numerous blogs that don't...

I don't get the hate for The Paternoster Gang. I would have loved to have at least seen one mini-series to see them have an adventure without The Doctor. I am able to admit now, though, that a full series with them would have caused me to hunt down the actor that played Strax and give him a...

The writers are there, mate. Neil Gaiman is a fantastic writer who - in my humble opinion - should be placed next to those other greats. I think, though, that the powers that be seem to want to pander to a certain demographic who has little interest in SF/fantasy and are more concerned with how...

CBS: Okay, Robert, we need to bring something to Discovery to make it more appealing to the old Trekkers...whadda ya have for us? Bloch: Stay seated, because I have a story idea that is going to bowl you over! CBS (internal voice): don't say it...don't say it... Bloch: Jack the Ripper... CBS...

Touche. Well played, Herr Doctor.

It really is sad. Once upon a time, SF was a concept that could encompass so many different topics and situations. Then we hit the 50s, where the space race made rocket ship media such a popular product that suddenly SF went from thought provoking stories that may involve robots or aliens to ray...

FInally! Some of the best Batman stories in the comics were those that played out as a detective story, and remembered that Bats is, in fact, the world's greatest detective. The movies have eschewed that and gone straight for the action side of the character, which is impressive, but ignores the...

I found all of them on YouTube, and loved listening to A New Hope and Empire. I've only gotten a little bit into Jedi, and I don't know that I can make it through. While my biggest complaint about the first two is that the guy doing Han sounds less like a badass smuggler and more like a taxi...

When I was still writing, I received a copy of one of the hardcover collections of the newspaper strips. The storylines were, to say the least, pretty mundane. Obviously, readers weren't saving these comics, so you could essentially repeat the exact same story over and over again (and oh sweet...

I remember loving this show as a kid, but mostly because I loved anything space related (Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars, Buck Rogers, Jason of Star Command, Battlestar Galactica, etc.). I would have to sit down and rewatch it to see how it holds up to my foggy memories of it, and I certainly...

Between the two, I'd pick Hammer. I like Jake, but I just don't see him as Bruce. Hammer, however, I think could pull off both the billionaire playboy and the vigilante.

This asshat is a prime example of what is wrong with fandoms. "Oh, I hated it, so I'll make it my way, and then it'll be so much better, because I'm scared of female characters doing what men should be doing. Mom, it's cold in your basement, make me some Hot Pockets!" Fuck this guy.

Is this the one about ? Because I've heard that one, but like you, never found anything about it, outside of an alleged cover-up by the BBC and his family.

I've watched a couple of specials where investigators have been on the Queen Mary. This certainly has some potential... Bugger bugger bugger bugger bugger!!!

Funny how Jesus looks white.

This reminds me of the quote carved into the wall at Auschwitz: If there is a God, he will have to beg for my forgiveness.

I'm so glad Fangoria is coming back. I have missed reading that magazine.

Marvel only had 3 or 4 horror titles, outside of the monster titles you mentioned. Which is okay, because they knew where their bread & butter was, and that was tight super hero stories. DC had quite a few titles, the most well known being House of Mystery and House of Secrets. Charleton had a...

You mean, like, how every single DC fan had been telling them from the very beginning?
