Television Zombies made the finalist list for the Parsec Awards in the category of Best Speculative Fiction News Podcast. The awards are decided by a panel of celebrity judges and given out at the Dragon*Con in Atlanta on Saturday, August 30th during an evening awards ceremony.
The TVZ crew is proud to be nominated in [...]
With TV mostly dead throughout the summer, I’ve found myself turning to the internet for entertainment just as much as a rerun or DVD season set of a TV show. One form of online tv-viewing is watching a webisode. These range tremendously in quality, while the networks decide exactly what is the most beneficial way [...]
Nice episode! This is what the show should be every week. Characters were used well, and the multiple threads of the story converged in a tidy way, really very pleasing. Who would have guessed that you could weave together robotic dogs, an underground volcano, a researcher who fabricates synthetic mucus in his laboratory, and a [...]
Game shows are not normally a topic covered by the Zombies or discussed here on the site. But, since I have first-hand experience to share, I think it’s worth writing about here.
Specifically, I was invited to audition for America’s Favorite Game Show a couple of weeks ago. Here’s how it works: once a [...]
It’s all about time.
According to IMDB, Chris Roland (the series co-creator) has written or helped write all the episodes thus far. The same source also says only 4 of the 9 episodes thus far have been written or directed by anyone but him, including the pilot. Why then was this the best of [...]
For Eureka’s second show of the season, the crisis of the week involved the “disappearance” of a research scientist from a sealed biosphere (quote marks used because the man didn’t actually disappear — he started turning into a snake). But really, that story doesn’t matter (I’ll explain below).
Here are the things to comment on: (1) [...]
About 4 years ago, Joss Whedon planned on doing a Buffy animated series. It was going to be set during the high school years (and would have included both Angel and Dawn). Anthony Stewart Head, Nicholas Brendon, Michelle Trachtenberg, Charisma Carpenter, David Boreanaz, Kristine Sutherland, and Allyson Hannigan were all on board to do their [...]
Joss Whedon is possibly the most beloved television creator/producer/writer of our time. It’s obvious that I have a man-crush on him. I even met him once at a comic shop while he was perusing for stuff. Coincidentally, I got him to sign a copy of my Astonishing X-Men, but I totally forgot to get something [...]
Things in the verses are starting to shake up.
16 hours before the premiere of Eureka, Charlie Jade brings one of its best episodes. There was some serious emotion this time around counteracting the sheer darkness (and I mean lighting) of the episode. I was seriously frustrated at the blinds causing a glare on the TV [...]
Well, the Season 3 opener for Eureka was kind of a dud. It wasn’t even funny, really. Colin Ferguson was charming as Sheriff Jack Carter and made us chuckle a few times, and several of the characters are certainly charismatic, but that was about it. The artificial intelligence (AI) concept that was central to the [...]
