Be Seeing You: The Prisoner Rewind

I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own. Psychedelic, surreal, insane. Compelling and intriguing. The Prisoner was one of the most unique, innovative and influential television series of all time. An icon of Sci-Fi. The series was the brainchild of star Patrick McGoohan who,

Things I Like: Connections with James Burke

There is a thing called “channel drift”. It is a phenomenon where a particular station or network starts out with a theme, a stated purpose and slowly over time drifts away from that and becomes something else entirely. It’s like when your favorite classic rock station starts throwing Top 40 into the mix and before

One Day I Shall Come Back: Doctor Who Series 8

Tonight the greatest television ever created and broadcast will return for its 8th or 34th season (depending on how you reckon such things). A new actor (Peter Capaldi) will be taking over the role of the Doctor and by all accounts there will be a new tone and feel to the show as well. This

You’re Only Given One Little Spark of Madness: On Robin Williams

I first saw Robin Williams on an episode of Happy Days. He played the strange and quirky Mork from Ork in a really bizarre dream sequence … or was it? Not long after Mork was spun-off to his own show, Mork & Mindy, which soon became one of my favorite programs. In fact he quickly

Beneath a Blanket of Stars: Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey: Episode 3

It was inevitable I guess. Not content to simply delete several seconds about evolution in the first episode and impossible to ignore evolution in the second, creationists now demand equal time for their arguments. Balance they call it. And how did the makers of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey respond? They way everyone should respond to

A Souring Spiritual Experience: Cosmos: A Space Time Odyssey: Episode 2

In an area of Oklahoma the first episode of Cosmos:  A Spacetime Odyssey ran twenty seconds shorter than the rest of the country. What was significant about those twenty seconds? That was the time when evolution was discussed. If it was intentional (station executives say it was not) I wonder how much of this week’s
