‘Sherlock’ Is Must-See TV

I am very fortunate in that I was able to access all three episodes of the British program Sherlock, an updated version of Sherlock Holmes created by Steven Moffat (of Doctor Who fame) and Mark Gatiss. It’s well done and very gripping drama and mystery, always keeping the viewer on the edge of his or her seat.

Over on SciFiPulse.Net, site head honcho Ian M. Cullen recently posted the following story about the show:

>>Monsters And Critics has just released its top picks of some of the drama that will be coming up in the new 2010/11 television season.

Why I Read Comics!

In honor of the San Diego Comic-Con, I thought I would revisit some of my articles from SciFiPulse.Net, which recently was voted one of the top 45 Sci-Fi Book Blogs. This was one of my first “Comix Portal” columns on the site:

I spend a fair amount of my time and income on comics and comic-related merchandise. For example, as I write this, my computer screen is surrounded by Justice League Unlimited figures, staring at me intently.  And I can’t let them down–or else!

Ever since I was young, I’ve been fascinated by the possible.  Even if something is very unlikely, it could still take place.  And that has always tickled my imagination and drawn me to things beyond the commonplace.  This is also probably why I love science fiction so much.

Is Friday Really Friday … Or Is It Thursday? Or Maybe Saturday?

One of the tough things about working for a publication that comes out every day of the year is that your schedule may have to be flexible to keep working there.

In the last couple of years, I’ve worked Monday through Friday, then spent about a year working Sunday through Thursday, then another year working Tuesday through Saturday.

So, today is Friday. As far as my work goes, is it Thursday? Or is it Saturday? Or could it even really be Friday? I get so confused!

It’s not like I haven’t worked for places that didn’t require shift changes before. I worked for a hospital in Florida that provided the same challenges. When I was employed there, I worked days, nights and in-between … including double shifts. It was a rare and wonderful thing when I had two days off together that I didn’t specifically request. What a treat!

Keep Graham Norton Away From Matt Smith’s Mouth!

Since I write the stories for SciFiPulse.net that appear on Mondays, I came across this interesting article about the most recent episode of Doctor Who–at least, the one that aired in the UK last Saturday:

Why is Graham Norton near Matt Smith's mouth?>>It happened during the very emotional sequence at the end of “The Time Of Angels” as it aired on the BBC in the UK.

While Matt Smith, the Eleventh Doctor, was talking to the baddies, an on-screen caption with an animated cartoon of Graham Norton, who hosts Over The Rainbow, appeared at the bottom of the frame, covering part of Smith’s face (including his mouth) as he gave the stirring speech.

Thousands of Doctor Who fans have since contacted the BBC to say that the ending of Saturday night’s episode was ruined by that trailer for the following show. The advertisement was seen by millions of viewers watching on BBC One in England, according to the BBC.
