The last episode left with a certain “logic where art thou” moment. Sam and Dean were haivng fun and games with something that claimed to be an angel, though was a vengeful spirit. However one believed in angels and the other in cold hard proof but could believe in demons.
By not believing in angels (and […]
Reynolds is one of these great authors who does something that isn’t sexy (thinking about the far future) but manages to make the same future wonderful. The BBC have got a great interview with him talking about science and science fiction, the fact and fiction, and where the line is drawn for a scientific author. […]
I’m a little slow in looking at this but the His Dark Materials has posted some shots from the forthcoming game of the film of Northern Lights Golden Compass. It looks intriguing but in all honesty, I’m not a gamer.
I might be tempted to pick this up but we’ll see. They post an interesting essay […]
I’m a little tempted to call this post Harry Potter and the Pot of Cash but that’d just be catty.
The BBC have posted pictures from the forthcoming film on their site. I have to confess that the books are growing on me as fantasies but mainly for comfort reading (or viewing in the films’ case). […]

Driving to work this morning, I was listening to the Today programme on Radio Four and they had an article about the movement to consider robot rights as they become more autonomous, such as healthcare and housing.
As one of the commentators points out, this is slightly ludicrous as it doesn’t even consider the practicalities of […]
Sometimes is fiction is better than fact. A mineral resembling kryptonite has been found in a Serbian mine. Now wehre did we put that underwear pervert to try it out on? It looks different so no “shiny, shiny!”

So the Daleks came back to Doctor Who on Saturday. I wasn’t anticipating much before the weekend but the experiment was a neat twist. However I still felt like it was the remix of a favourite track and they’ll be back next season. The actual city of New York was intriguing and the musical number […]
Awards season trundles on with the Carnegie awards for childrens writing.
Intriguingly they’ve started a Carnegie of Carnegies with the association that judges them providing a provisional list which includes Pullman, Alan Garner, Phillipa Pearce and Mary Norton but doesn’t inlcude either Tolkien or CS Lewis. Definitely one to mull over but the fantasy in there […]
