Z Nation and “A Chick Thing”
While I was counting down the hours before the return of The Walking Dead, I took the opportunity to write down some thoughts about Z Nation. Sure, it’s no Walking Dead, but it does have its moments. ————————— Last weekend, my sister visited, and, among other activities, she took a break from her TV-less lifestyle. After I got to show her the wonderful “Manhattan,” she found that SyFy was starting a four-episode marathon of “Z Nation.” I had previously caught the last 20 minutes of that show’s premiere, been annoyed by a stupid decision to needlessly pursue a zombie into a clutter-filled deathtrap, and decided just to wait a few weeks for TWD. But my sister wanted to try Z Nation, so we watched for a couple of episodes, and I kept it on after she went to bed.

Halloween Special: We Need Your Movie Suggestions!
October is coming up mighty quick, and with it comes candy and middle-aged men and women dressed up as ninjas and creepy guys in masks with fake chainsaws to scare all the little kiddies… I mean, that’s not what we’re doing. Then again, we’re not middle-aged… In any case, we really need your help for our Torture Cinema feature. For the first time ever, we’re going to have a special Halloween edition of Torture Cinema. This means we need suggestions. If you know of any bad supernatural or science fiction horror movies that you think we should watch and review, let us know in the comments, send us an email (skiffyandfanty[at]gmail[dot]com), send us a tweet, or look for our link on Google+ and leave a message. We’ll collect all of the suggestions and narrow them down to the five most popular selections. After that, you all get to vote on one of them, which will result in Jen and Shaun kicking and screaming about your poor life choices. Now start your suggesting!
The Alphas (Episode 2) of Warehouse 13 (Episode 3.2) in Eureka (Episode 412)
Thank you, SyFy, for making Mondays something to look forward to! My husband has completely stopped watching Warehouse 13 and hasn’t started watching Alphas, but it’s still a joy to share Eureka with him.. and we got to squee geekily together, which is always a great thing. However, this week’s episodes of all three were a bit on the serious side (though the Eureka version of serious is never actually THAT serious). Spoilers Ahead!
SFFTV: The Alphas (Pilot) of Warehouse 13 (Episode 3.1) in Eureka (Episode 411)
Yes, I realize I’m a week behind in giving you some spoilery reviews, so perhaps they’re not so spoilery anymore! Regardless, last Monday was the highlight of my Summer and tonight will be even more exciting in a super geeky way – Felicia Day makes her first appearance on Eureka!! Yay! I know you’re all super excited about that. Quick thoughts – Eureka made a strong showing for its first episode of their half season, Warehouse 13 is definitely improved for having brought in a new character, and Alphas is giving me renewed hope in the Superhero genre. Spoilers Ahead!
