FEAR OF THE WALKING DEAD – BACK TO THE EGG

It is a smart, character-driven drama that has captivated audiences by constantly developing their characters and letting us become invested in their stories as they journey through the zombie apocalypse. It seems that Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! THE WALKING DEAD – FROM DESPAIR TO WHERE?
Am beginning to despair at The Walking Dead. Group characters are dropping like flies in Season 5. A bit of an overkill, I would argue. Yes, I understand the dynamics of this dystopian future reality but it’s still ultimately a TV show. It’s almost dark for the sake of being Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! THE WALKING DEAD – SEE NO EVIL
What’s going on? Why are our intrepid gang of survivors acting like the bad guys? How am I supposed to feel about Carol threatening a young child in order to conceal a secret? Are Rick and company totally unable to adapt to normal life and trust anyone now? These questions Continue Reading

GEEK OUT! THE WALKING DEAD – THE TROUBLE WITH NORMAL
Our gang of survivors begin to settle in at Alexandria but our favourite characters are waiting for the pin to drop. Who can blame them, after all the trauma that they have been through in the last five seasons? Halfway through this transitional episode Carl tells Rick that he is Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! HELIX – STILL WATERS RUN DEEP
The 2nd season of Helix has done very well in shifting focus on different characters and casting as protagonists and antagonists in equal measure depending on particular perspectives. Amongst Alan, Peter, Michael and Amy it was never clear who was the actual villain of the piece. But finally, the role Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! THE WALKING DEAD – IN RICK WE TRUST
Possibly one of the best Walking Dead episodes in recent memory and it was achieved without having to kill a major character! All it did was examine the question of trust in the post-apocalyptic world of The Walking Dead. After having suffered at the hands of the Governor and the Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! HELIX – SLOW DOWN WORLD I WANNA GET OFF!
Definitely the most intense season 2 episode thus far as Amy ramps up her plans to get away from Brother Michael and the island. One cannot blame her considering the outrageous revelations made concerning the relationship between Brother Michael and herself. The most unlikely villainess but kudos to the writers Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! HELIX – THE PLOT … ER … THICKENS
Alright, so we are spoiling season 2 episode 5 with the above image which reveals that cult leader Michael is actually an immortal. But of course, that was hinted by the scores of portraits on his wall and the different generations of women advisors (they are all his daughters apparently). Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! THE WALKING DEAD – THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
After the traumatic episodes on both sides of the mid-season break, this episode caught up with our merry band of survivors to find them struggling with a crisis of faith.

THE BOOB TUBE: THE WALKING DEAD – OVERKILL TO THE MAX
No way to talk about the return of The Walking Dead without spoilers. So if haven’t caught up, read no further.
GEEK OUT! HELIX S02E04 – A HOLDING PATTERN
Remember when I said the strong point about the second season of Helix was the two parallel storylines? (present and future) Well, that only holds true if the storylines keep things interesting. And while more information was given about the disease (something to do with bees), the future scenario was Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! HELIX S02E03 – PARALLEL NARRATIVE IS THE KEY
Despite changing its setting completely and introducing a flashforward narrative to its plot, Helix has been slowly introducing familiar characters from the first season to the current one. This time (in “Scion”), it’s Dr. Hatake (above) – a key player first time round, to make Julia’s job of saving the Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! HELIX GETS LOST IN ITS SECOND SEASON AND MAYBE THAT’S A GOOD THING
Syfy series Helix is back and while it retains much of the key features of season one (i.e. deadly pathogen, CDC involvement, death, gore, immortality and conspiracies), season two differs significantly in having two separate storylines (one in the present, and one in the future). Yes, the LOST flashforward is back! Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! THE BABADOOK DELIVERS GENUINE SCARES WITHIN MINIMALIST SETTING

Directed by Carl Tibbets. Written by Charlie Brooker. Starring Jon Hamm, Oona Chaplin, Rafe Spall, Natalia Tena.

GEEK OUT! COMING MOVIES IN 2015 – PART TWO
Our look at the geek movies of 2015 continues with the 2nd half of the year dominated by the return of the Star Wars movie franchise with Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens. Nothing even comes remotely close between that and Avengers: Age of Ultron – which means serious moolah Continue Reading
GEEK OUT! LOVING THE SERIAL KILLER
You might say it began with Dexter. Remember how it felt all those years ago when you first watched Dexter? You mean, the hero of the show is a serial killer? Mind-blowing, wasn’t it?
