'The Almighty Johnsons' is an entertaining Fantasy/drama series which hits SyFy this Thursday at 10PM from February 2nd.

The shows characters have real personalities but in the shape of humanoid gods, goddesses, killer babes and immortals that laugh and enjoy life. These guys make mistakes too and encounter interesting problems. A whole myriad of wonders challenge 'the almighty Johnsons' during their voyage of exploration into the Norsewoods. I never did figure out... How do you resist the tempting advances of killer babes when seeking out that perfect higher lifeform?

A to Z Blogging Challenge

Its nearly that time of the year again for the awesome A to Z blogging challenge! 26 letters in the alphabet starting with A on April 1st.

Guess what my topics will be about? Last year I discovered the A to Z challenge on Alex J Cavanaugh's blog. Well, here we go again, planning ahead with a theme for A to Z 's main event.

Remember Colonel Hannibal Smith from the A-Team? 'I love it when a plan comes together.' We're like blog thirsty vampires on a mission with dire cravings to ingest new words and concepts, seeking out new lifeforms on new blogworlds, to boldly go... (broken record player scratch)

Live long and prosper, everyone.

Top 100 Sci-Fi Spaceships?

This week I found a video with a cool slideshow of 100 'Top' science fiction spaceships. Most of these 100 'spaceships' originated from various science fiction movies and tv shows. A few others emerged from cartoon shows and comic Sci-Fi spoofs like the Thunderbirds, Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest. So sit back and enjoy the spaceship sideshow. A couple of space stations are included which is fine but why Eagle 5 (Spaceballs) made no. 45 is a mystery.

How does your geek feel about the sequencing of these starships and starfighters? Watching the video is certainly a good way of testing your sci-fi knowledge in a showdown with some friends. So let the battle of wits begin and hey...
