Sherlock’s Back!

28 Aug

Some happy news today via the SFX website; Sherlock will be returning for 3 more episodes- although perhaps a bit later than we were all hoping.

It seems that our favourite detective won’t be back on our screens for another year with the new episodes slated for Autumn 2011. Given the excellent quality of the recent series, this show being back can only be a good thing.

The Geek Solar System

Blastr (formally Sci-Fi Wire) is putting up a lot of good bits and pieces at the moment. The latest little thing that’s bought a smile to my face is this link to an drawing of real planets compared to fictional ones.

Be sure to pay proper attention to the final couple in the “far, far away region”- a good little joke. But while we’re at it; in this world of new Star Trek, should Vulcan also be listed as “recently destroyed”?

120 SF & Fantasy Events on a Real World Timeline

15 Jul

This is a fun article put together by SyFy’s blastr website. It’s a real mix of SF and fantasy events, featuring such things as The Scorpion King’s defeat to HAL becoming operational.

You can read the full timeline here.

The very first and the final events on the timeline are pretty cool and will probably raise a smile.

And bonus points for including Farscape and The Fountain on there. Nice one!

Little Big Planet 2

10 May

I loved the first Little Big Planet game- loads of fun and something a bit different. Now the trailer for the second game has been released and it looks like they’ve upped their game…

I can’t wait to play this! It also sounds like it comes complete with an irritatingly catchy sound track again just to ensure that you’ll be humming the music for days after you’ve played.
