Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic: The Long Way Home, Part I

Season 8 / Comic 1 / "The Long Way Home, Part 1"
"Buffy is back in a new medium, which is less restrictive and Joss is taking full advantage of."

Buffy is back and in the form of a Comic. I'm reasonably new to the comic front but happy to see Buffy still kicking arse and with Joss behind the wheel its great to see his creation live on within his control.

The comic picks up soon after the ending of Season 7 of our television finale. With most of the gang present and evil still alive and kicking. The comic is beautifully illustrated and is written in only a way that Joss can.

The only downfall is that the instalment is too be, but its been a long time since my last Buffy fix. But the story is already forming nicely and so many possibilities for twisting things along the way in true Joss style.




Summary: Sinchronicity: Season 1

Summary / Sinchronicity / Season 1
"An excellent story told in a unique way."

Sinchronicity has to be one of my favourite shows of 2006. Through a great mix of drama, comedy and storytelling we're introduced to the world of three characters and their complicated lives. We can all relate to the idea of how one moment can have a great effect on our lives there after and at its core Nathan shows how one moment changed his life forever.

I enjoyed Sinchronicity from start to finish and in summary its a show that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good story with a few twists and a lot of laughs.




Review: Dexter: Dexter (Pilot)

Season 1 / Episode 1 / "Dexter" (Pilot)
"Dark, edgy, powerful. This is exactly what Television is meant to be."

From the opening scene. From Dexter Morgan's first words to the audience - I'm addicted. Dexter's character has so many levels, a truly dark side yet we can all still relate to. We all wear a mask and have demons to hide.

Even the basic idea of having a member of law enforcement moonlighting as a crime fighting killer is powerful and unique. This is writing at its best, perfect casting, and every scene is painfully thought through frame by frame

All this adds up to a television show you must watch. I'm absorbing every second, captivated and engaged. Its a sheer delight to watching things unfold before your senses. Watch Dexter, shows like this don't come along very often.




News: Sinchronicity Won't Be Renewed for Second Season

The question on everyone's lips is will Sinchronicity be renewed for a second season?

The answer is no, the creative team behind Sinchronicity have stated that the series was only intended to have six episodes and they don't plan to continue the story of Nathan, Fi & Jase.

I enjoyed Sinchronicity immensely and but believe that this is good news. There can be a lot of pressure placed on the producers of successful television shows by networks who love to cash in on high ratings. This can sometimes come at the expense of our beloved shows.

Sinchronicity was one of the best shows of the year.

Review: Sinchronicity: Episode 6

Season 1 / Episode 6
"All other TV Shows take note, this is how its done."
Click to read review - may contain spoilers

What has made this such a great series is: Excellent characters, a quirky love story and brilliant storytelling. The way that the final episode unfolds has you completely absorbed. Two stories are intertwined with us not knowing which is really taking place until the very end.

A complete credit to the cast and crew for bringing this series to life. I think a lot of main stream television shows could learn a few things from this series.

A must watch for anyone who enjoys a drama with a comedy vibe which touches on adult concepts. Some of the best television this year!
