Better Off Un Dead?

True Blood Fans!

What Are Your Thoughts on Vampire Tara?

Good Idea and fresh?

Just Reaching to try and keep new blood in the series?

Do you not really care?

True Blood Season 5 ...To The Last Bite with Raymond Tyler.

I was thoroughly under-whelmed with Season Four of True Blood.

The writers seemed to aimless meander way too much.

So far Season Five seems to be starting in the right direction with Vampire Tara.

So far after watching the season premiere of Season Five here are my thoughts.

1. I love actress Rutina Weseley. I hated that they made her character a slut hoping in the sack with any and almost everybody and everything. 

I am hoping that they really use Vampire Tara as a major character.

2. I also like that Lafeyette now on witch/ghosts steroids has some back bone to stand up to the super natural jerks as well as the human jerks.

3. What I have ALWAYS enjoyed about True Blood is that like Dark Shadows before it, anything under heaven and earth can find its way into the True Blood Universe. The writers constantly ask WHY NOT?

4. I really don't care about The Authority.

5. I really believe Russell is going to do some damage.

6. And Eric.... eeeeeeew. You are 2000 years old. You never saw the After School Special that said " banging your sister is wrong?"

Till Next Week....

The Boondocks Are Back Again....

Don't Call It A Come Back!

Words By Raymond Tyler

I don't care if they do call it a come back I am just glad to have the only show that is more under appreciated than The Wire back on TV.

Yesterday I got a notice from The Boondock on my facebook and I did my happy dance.
I feel if miserable lonely women have Winston Jerome , than intelligent people who enjoy provactive art should have The Boondocks.

We will keep you posted on when.

It will return to the Adult Swim line up of the Cartoon Network.

Now if we can only get Adult Swim to do a series based The Wire!

And for goodness sake SOMEBODY owes Regina King 3 Emmy Awards. Let's Get It Right!

Here in episode 2 of Season One Huey sets the record straight about
R. Kelly. 

Dark Shadows 2012? We say see The Avengers Again

We were excited that a new film featuring the brooding Barnebas Collins was coming.

Then we saw the trailer.

Then we said...we Abraham Lincoln The Vampoire Hunter looks decent.

We here at Fi Sci are waiting for this to come on cable.

Story by Oskar Castro.

“How long is this gonna take Clint?”

“Few more minutes I think.”

“Really?  You said that fifteen minutes ago.  Do you know what you’re doing?  I’ve got things I need to do.”

“Of course.  Sorry. This is like rocket science to me. I‘m figuring it out.”

“Rocket science? I thought you knew what you were doing Clint? You’ve been at this for about an hour.  This was only supposed to take about ten minutes. I’ve got things to do you know!”

“There!  There it is!  Look!  Can you see it?”

“See what?  What am I supposed to be seeing?”

“It’s the Hulk.  Hold on. Let me fine-tune it. There!”

“The Hulk?  As in Bruce?”

“No, not Bruce.  Another Hulk… from an alternate reality.”

“Clint, what the heck is this?”

“It’s a dimensional monitor. Vision and Franklin Richards made it for me so I could watch Mockingbird’s alternate in another dimension.  It’s like switching channels, you know?  I can see as many different versions of Mockingbird as are out there.  Pretty cool. Pretty weird too, right?”

“Yeah. So, why are we looking at an alternate Hulk?  And why did it take so long?”

“Ah, right. Well, Vision and Franklin designed it to hone in all Mockingbirds.  So I had to tinker with it.  You know me. After awhile I got bored just watching all these Mockingbirds who weren’t Mockingbird.  Instead of lifting me up, it just made me melancholy. So I had the idea that I might tune into the lives of other alternate Avengers.  I call it alternate-reality-TV and I started with the Hulk.  I saved the coordinates, but I think maybe the gamma radiation the Hulk gives off makes it difficult for the device to get an exact fix on him.”

“You should have Vision fix it.”

“He refused.”

“Right. Makes sense to me too.  What the hell are you doing Clint?!  They shouldn’t have made this toy for you in the first place. Again, why are we looking at the Hulk?!”

“Right!  The Hulk. Well, see… this Hulk is different than our Hulk.  Very.  I was watching him earlier and this guy is… well, he’s you Tony.”

“What?  Me?!”

“Yeah.  Apparently in this dimensional plane the Hulk is also Tony Stark and not Bruce Banner. Tony Stark is… now brace yourself… Iron Hulk. Pretty cool right?”   

“Iron Hulk?!  What the…”

“See the armor? Cool right? Get’s better. See, this Tony Stark is best bud’s with T’challa. They have a global empire together. In this dimension T’challa has brokered a deal between his people in Wakanda, and Stark Enterprises. The stores of vibranium are being mined and used to power Stark’s mechanical innovations.  And he is doing it all as Iron Hulk/Tony Stark.  Crazy cool, right?”

“Right. Listen Clint. Next time you want to waste an hour of my time, don’t. Ok?” 

“Sheesh.  C’mon, Tony. Chill out. I’ve got popcorn…?”

“Stay away from me Clint.”

“Whateva”.

AVENGERS FAN FICTION: No One Mourns The Strong

AVENGERS FAN FICTION!

No One Mourns The Strong!Featuring Joe Fix It and The Might Thor!

Joe Fix It Iage by John Buscema

Words By Raymond Tyler

Joe Fixit Created By Peter David

The Great Forum Bar inside The Coliseum Casino where Joe Fix It works as security chief 1-A. He’s talking to Thor who almost turned the place out looking for “Joe.” The two sit in an area with special re-enforced titanium seating made especially for Joe and his “guests.”

Thor: “Hulk, your manners still be as stale as troll breath, though in those clothes and this job, I would say thou art more incredible than ever.”

Hulk:. “Nix the Hulk stuff, now I’m just Joe. Who do I owe a punch in the mouth for telling you I was in Vegas? Spider man or that Wolverine loser? Maybe I’ll kill em both after the Tyson/Seldon fight next week. Still you’re here now what do you want?”

Thor: “Just a drink and some conversation and then I am back off to further adventures.”

Hulk: “Hmm you mean I ain’t gonna have to wrap that cape around your ears and beat the snot out of you to leave me alone?”

Thor laughs and pats Joe on the back: “Not that you, Benjamin Grimm, Namor and 20 green Hulks could best me Joe. But, no fights here tonight.”

Hulk thinks to himself: “That’s what you think. If I hate anything more than being called Hulk right now, it’s being compared to that green, first person talking moron and Banner. Still it will not hurt to have a drink with an old Avenger even if he is almost as snooty as Stark.”

Thor: “No my friend. I am just here to enjoy a night of women and drinks. You know more than anyone, no one weeps for the strong. Yes they may have some compassion for Grimm because he wants to be a mere mortal. However men like us. Men, that can change the course of mighty rivers with our bare hands or leap tall buildings in a single bound..?

Hulk: “Watch out Goldie you’re real close to copyright infringement but I get the picture.”

Till well after three in the morning Thor and Joe talk Betty Ross, Sif, Jane Foster and even Jarella. They talk crummy fathers. Thor rants on and on about his dung-hole brother Loki. Thor has pitcher after pitcher of the 100 Proof Vodka .While Joe himself has scotch and sodas minus the scotch. Just as they get outside and clear of the casino

Hulk thinks to himself: “You know Joey. Thor ain’t as much of tool as I used to think. I almost want to put him in a cab and send him back to Stark’s mansion and show I got more class than back when we kicked The Space Phantom’s butt.”

A staggering Thor: “Could you point me in the direction of New York?”

Joe: “Sure thing Goldie it’s that way. By the way. Nice to know you like the ladies too.”

Thor looking confused: “What dost thou mean by that statement Hulk?”

Hulk: “Well you know? The ‘Barbie doll’ hair, the funny talk, the circus o lay, out fit. I always figured you and Stark were a cute couple. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

With that, a flash of thunder and lightning, lights up the Vegas night like 12 noon and strikes Joe launching him high in the air.

Hulk turns around in air as he starts to fall toward a waiting Thor.

Hulk yells “We’re Playing The Feud Now!!!!”

This has been a good night for Joe Fix It. And for the people in Vegas who couldn’t get rooms next week for the Tyson fight? They still get treated to a once in a life time battle of heavy weights.

Marvel's The Avengers Smashes Overseas Box Office Records - Hollywood News

I just guestimated that the studio was looking for The Avengers to do between 150-200 Million the first weekend.

This movie could do 300 million however. With rising tickets prices and the fact I don't know anyone who isn't going the first week.

So far it seems The Avengers may do 300 easy!

The Fi Sci Expo Needs Women

For years the perception has been that science fiction was for kids and geaks whon live with mom.
However at every con I go to the women get sexier and there are more!

So we are inviting the ladies to explain why not only are they coming out of the closet...but the ladies are coming out wearing tights and thigh high boots and knowing about parellel universes and the space time continuum.

Fi Sci.com Remembers Johnathan Frid

FANGS FOR THE MEMORIES

 Actor Johnathan Frid known world wide for playing Barnabas Collins in the sometimes campy but very dark soap opera Dark Shadows has passed away.

After one 1990's remake and a new film scheduled to star Johnny Depp, there truly will always be only one Barnabes.

The soap opera was hard to follow, often poorly acted and one could see people running across the set trying to get out of shots.

With all of that, Dark Shadows was a memorable classic piece of gothic fiction from the moment the eerie music first came on and the Tv showes you a night time scene of waves crashing on the shore.

Like it not...whether you believe in curses or not.
Johnathan Frid as Barnabas Collins will live on to infect new generations with his style of vampirism.

The scene from Dark Shadows where Barnabas is cursed to be a blood sucker.

Marvel Week Celebrates The Scorpion

From the time I saw him on the 1966 Spider Man series I loved the Scorpion.
I liked that he is stronger than Spidey. Still Spidey is more resourceful, most likely faster and smarter.

If Spider Man is one of the most innovative heroes ever? The Scorpion is one of his most memorable in his exciting and nasty rogues gallery.

From the 1966 Spider Man Series here's NEVER STEP ON A SCORPION based on Spider Man number 20!

Who's Your Favorite Marvel Villains and WHY?

Today We Look at Marvel's Greatest Bad Guys!

Marvel Week Celebrates The Origin Of Spider Man

 

Along with Bat Man's Origin the story told by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko of Peter Parker is one of  the most iconic origin stories in comics history. The first time I read it and saw it I actually grieved for Parker. To be forever haunted by your own moment of selfishness is as real world a feeling as any. It was Shakespeare in comics.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Almost word for word with Amazing Fantasy 15....here is The 1966 Cartoon version of
The Origin Of Spider Man.
