FADPOV articles for August 2007

I’ve been hoping to add some things here, but have just gotten busy with other writing projects that have eaten up a lot of my spare time.  A good chunk of it has been for FADPOV, so I thought I would put up some links to those articles:

Painkiller Jane – I’ve been reviewing this show each week.  It’s kind of an odd experience.  The show is…honestly…not that good.  I’m not surprised it’s been cancelled.  But it has some interesting ideas–the germ of a show that could have been good.  Which actually makes it worse than a totally sucky show would have been, in a way.

Life on Mars – this show IS good.  The first series aired on BBC America last year, and the second series is supposed to be airing in early 2008.  I convinced Tamela to let me write up the already-aired episodes, partly because I just plain wanted to, but partly because I like websites to be complete references and I think it’s a good idea to have all the episodes there.

Failure to Adapt: Gold Edition – a smartass article I wrote about alleged failed attempts by movie studios to come up with projects based on video games.

Kobayashi Maru Me, Baby – an article I wrote about the upcoming Star Trek movie that’s partly tongue-in-cheek, but partly serious.  This movie needs to be good, because The worst part was that I so desperately wanted to say something about the Duras family, but I couldn’t because I’d complained about the need for new blood.  Damn it–I miss Lursa and B’Etor.
