Stargate Atlantis Finale Tonight

Fans of Stargate Atlantis will be sad to discover that tonight is the season finale. It seems to have ended all too soon. We know from our sources at GateWorld that Season 5 will bring a few big changes and we hope that we will see old favorites again here and there from both the SGA and SG1 series in the coming episodes. Those that missed the episodes this season with Teal'c and Dr. Becket should definitely pay a visit to Amazon Unbox and download the videos as the are well worth watching.

Fans of Stargate SG1 should also be aware that The Ark of Truth will be released to DVD on March 11th so save your pennies. I've had a bit of a sneak peek and will be the first to tell you that it is everything you would expect of a Stargate movie and does "indeed" provide some closure to the Ori story line. If only I could get a little quality time with Dr. Daniel Jackson .

So, watch tonight and please share your thoughts.

TTFN!

Must See TV Stargate Atlantis

Carson fans rejoice. I don't know if you caught last week's episode of Stargate Atlantis but our favorite doctor (no offense to the new doctor intended) has returned from the dead...or so it seems. I'm not sure what the future holds for the good doctor but do know that I'm on pins and needles waiting for this week's episode to find out the story of what happened. It was good to hear his voice again and see him with the SGA crew.

Yes, I know most of my geekiness lately has been reserved for sci fi television and movies. I've had little time to gush over the latest and greatest gadget or gizmo. I promise to come back more often and bring updates on some innovative and just plain interesting gadgets in the near future. I simply thought this story was very geek-worthy especially for all of us girls that are suckers for the nice guys.

TTFN!

Summing it up with YUMMMM!!!

Being the self-respecting geek that I am, I have always had such a weakness for the bad boys. I also have a deep and abiding love for comic book characters (and villains) turned movie magnets. The latest addition to the comic book villain turned movie star to hit my radar is Heath Ledger as the Joker in the upcoming version of Batman.

While he makes for quite a spectacle of dis-respectability, Heath Ledger looks to turn in a stellar performance as a somewhat psychotic Joker. Sorry Jack, there's something about Heath's voice that simply sends shivers down my spine. It doesn't matter how much makeup they attempt to hide his stunning face, there is little they can do to stop the appeal of his voice. Which actually makes him very attractive as The Joker.

Of course you shouldn't take my word for it. See for yourself. This movie is definitely on my list of must see movies for 2008. I can hardly stand the wait. At least after watching this trailer, I'm hoping that more people will be as eager as I am for the finished product.

Knitting with the Force

I'm not sure if there are any knitters in the midst here BUT if you are a geek who also happens to enjoy stitching away during your sci-fi television time you might want to take a look at this intriguing knitting pattern for a hat I found during my travels around the World Wide Web. It is an R2D2 Beanie and anyone that knows and loves the Star Wars series knows all too well who (or more precisely, what) R2D2 is. In fact, many of us find that this lovable droid is a favorite character throughout the entire Star Wars series.

I must admit that the geek in me is screaming "right on!" about this pattern. The novice knitter in me is shuddering a bit as this is decidedly outside of my knitting comfort zone. That being said, this is a pattern that I am determined to attempt in the near future. Perhaps I'll have it mastered and it can grace a stocking by Christmas 2008. If not, there is always 2009 to wait for perfection there. I would love to hear from any geekettes in the audience that have attempted or plan to attempt this awesome little knitting project. Photos, encouragement, and challenges are also greatly appreciated...and may the powers of the light side of the force guide your needles for the warmth of heads, big and small everywhere. Okay, I know that was an excessively geeky moment but one I couldn't resist. Enjoy!
