American Horror Story: Delightfully insane

When I first saw the commercials for American Horror Story, I thought it would be an anthology series like Outer Limits or the Twilight Zone. Turns out it isn’t. In fact, the pilot was a huge disappointment for me. It felt like a bunch of amateur horror tricks done by a novice film student...

Grimm: It’s like Supernatural without the hot guys

I guess the two lead guys on Grimm aren’t bad looking but one looks like a poor man’s Brandon Routh who is a poor man’s Christopher Reeve. The other looks like a Dr. Dre/ Craig Mack hybrid. Even with those descriptions, we need to get these men’s shirts off to be sure. Grimm takes...

Terra Nova: I can’t believe I still like this show

If someone elevator pitches a television show as being “like Lost but with time travel and dinosaurs”, you’d just write them off as a crazy person and go have a martini. If Steven Spielberg is on board with a $20 million dollar budget, you start to take notice. If Stephen Lang of Avatar fame...

The Walking Dead: Zombies are faster but not the story

Don’t take that headline the wrong way. I still adore The Walking Dead. I just want a little more zombie killing and to put our characters or guest characters under a bit more stress. Dealing with kids in an action based adult story is the fastest way to drag it down. We have not...

Fembot’s Watch List (Fall 2011) [UPDATED]

Between pre-calculus, macroeconomics, and making Browncoats, I somehow make time to watch my favorite shows. Getting a chance to blog about them is another story… Live or next day viewing Terra Nova The Walking Dead Sanctuary Fringe Supernatural The Big Bang Theory Community Person of Interest American Horror Story Grimm Shows that may sit...

Remembering Steve Jobs

We’ll miss you Steve by fancyfembot featuring new balance shoes We all knew this was coming but we all hoped that we had a few more years for Apple to thrive under the direction of Steve Jobs. I hear a lot of people commenting about how we are all mourning a stranger. My first...

Torchwood: Wow. And not in a good way.

I’ve had this article in draft mode for weeks. May as well get it out of the way. I’d hoped that the Torchwood: Miracle Day story would get meatier as time went on. Instead we got science fiction action flotsam and jestam. There were some likable things about T:MD namely guest stars John DeLancie...

Warehouse 13 is hitting it’s stride

Warehouse 13 has made it to season 3 and already has jumped into full gear with meaty stories. These meaty stories don’t weigh down the usual fun and antics that we have come to expect from WH13, it just makes the show better. This season has a new addition by the way of Aaron...

Movie Catch-up: Priest

A Paul Bettany action movie released before summer is now synonymous with ‘B-film, you might want to pass this one up’ à la Legion. It’s sad because I love Paul Bettany, he is magical to watch but he isn’t powerful enough to save a weak film. I didn’t see Priest in the theater, I...

Mixed feelings for Torchwood: Miracle Day

After Torchwood: Children of Earth, I wasn’t interested in watching anything else Torchwood related. T:COE was compelling enough. I was highly entertained with the story and the action but Jack’s cowardly decision at the end and the death of Ianto left me frustrated with the show. I think I may have publicly vowed not...

Eureka returns with three geeky guest stars

I want Nathan Stark back. There, I said it. It’s out of the way. The second half of the fourth season blasts off in only a way that Eureka can. In ‘Lift Off’, Fargo and Zane accidentally launch a rocket into space and almost get themselves killed and the ISS destroyed. Missiles were launched,...

Sanctuary is all over the place in all the right places

Honestly, I don’t why I watch Sanctuary. I’m not sure why I still like it but I do.  To be honest, the second season arc with Big Bertha and Kali proved almost too much for my patience but I soldiered on. I was rewarded in season three with an eclectic collection of episodes that...

Enjoy Doctor Who S.6 all over again on DVD/BluRay tomorrow

Anyone who regularly reads this blog knows that I thoroughly enjoyed the first part of  the sixth series of Doctor Who. The stories in the episodes in the series thus far have been cohesive, adventures, mysterious and sometimes even scary. I’m sure that I’ve cried and re-watched the episodes so many times that I...

Bar Karma: Crowdsourced television

Bar Karma has to be one of the most innovative television shows to be created in a long time. CurrentTV decided to create a show that would have a lot of fan input. I’ve seen EVERY episode of Bar Karma. The show started mysterious enough with a guy waking up with a dead girl...

True Blood: Who is Marnie?

Because I’m obsessed with understanding this season of True Blood, I’ve already watched each of the two available episodes three times each. Marnie the Witch is of particular interest to me. While I was watching True Blood on HBOGO, I captured a screen shot of who Marnie was shifting into when she made Eric...
