The Week in Geek Issue #4
Welcome again dear readers! It's been an interesting week in the news. So, grab a cuppa and some biscuits and let's see what's going on, shall we? Danny Glover is playing Captain Ahab in an adaption of Moby Dick – except he’s now hunting Dragons! Actress Maggie Q is the new La Femme Nikita and there’s there’s talk of a fourth Blade movie. Wow – Wesley Snipes must really be desperate, given the reports of how cranky he was while making the third one. I imagine being upstaged by Ryan Reynolds...

Green Lantern Gets Good Bad Guy
Excellent site Collider.com is reporting that Mark Strong is officially Sinestro, the bad guy of the Green Lantern universe, in the upcoming film starring Ryan Reynolds.

What's On This Week Feb 22 - 28
The last week of February has us slavering because we know that March, with the upcoming Australian Premiere of Warehouse 13, is just a week away! Still that doesn't mean that we should just shut ourselves up in a time machine (a.k.a bedroom +Star Trek Online) and wait till the end of February. We've got some televisual goodies sure to please as the height of sunny summer seems to bear down on us. Friday is a very special Stargate day - not to be missed, and an excellent bit of homework for...

The Week in Geek Issue #3
Welcome back readers! Join me, your host, The Shadow, as once again we delve into what’s going on in geekdom. We begin this week with something we accidentally missed last week, it being possibly the most beautifully nerdy idea I’ve seen in a long time: a US couple had their wedding bands engraved with ”I know” And if you don’t know the reference, hand in your geek cards now! An unsuspecting shopping center in Bristol England was the scene of an epic lightsaber battle , with over 100...

Futuristic Fashion: The Legacy of Alexander McQueen
Whilst the recent suicide of 40-year-old designer Alexander McQueen in his Mayfair home may have come as a shock to many, it may not be something that you'd expect to read about in a Sci Fi blog. However, lovers of Science Fiction are people willing to open their eyes and their hearts to new possibilities and new directions, something for which the avant garde fashion designer was famous for.
