You know, it was better this week. Predictable as heck from the get-go, but not too awful because of that. The story was more about character interaction than the mystery itself, and it worked well.

The question is: Why do we send people in to space when it’s so much cheaper and safer to send machines?
Read more!According to this article in Variety, Steven Spielberg is looking to revive the Matt Helm franchise.
According to sources, he plans on sticking a bit closer to the source material than the (soon to be reviewed on the 'Bot) Dean Martin films....
In other words... more grim 'n' gritty spy flicks.
Will nobody bring the funny?
Once upon a time there was a show called “Firefly” which was too brilliant and beautiful to live, and so it died. Like many genre shows before it and since, it was banished to the Fox Friday Night Death Slot to quietly starve for want of sustenance. Even then, it didn’t die fast enough for its master’s liking, so they put a bullet in its head and never even bothered to air the last three episodes. Two years later, the show rose from the dead, transformed in to a big screen movie; the first - it was hoped - of many. Alas, the beautiful caterpillar had transformed in to a somewhat drab moth.

and if that central hook in the song sounds familiar to you, here's the vastly better song they stole it from:
It is a really good hook. I've thought about ripping it off myself for my band, but then I can't ever really think of anything to do with it.
Nice to know I'm not the only one with that problem.
Read more!Okay. This looks interesting, no doubt. What do you think? Should we cover it? We're kind of at a loss on this one-- how do you, our loyal and regular readers want us to handle this?
Sound off in the comments section-- Be Seeing you!
One of the unsung problems about biographies about astronauts - particularly the early ones - is that they’re all essentially supermen. It’s sometimes hard for audiences to fully identify with these people simply because they were, to a man, better, stronger, faster, smarter, and luckier than damn near everyone who ever lived. And they were specifically chosen for these qualities.

PLEASE NOTE: Syfy is re-running the first season of Warehouse 13 as a way of simultaneously building up for the new season and and admitting it's got nothing in the way of programming, so, as such, we're re-running this review for those of you who may not have seen it, or the episode previously.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE: That while I feel like we probably should continue to cover this show in its second year, I definitely feel like I don't wanna' be the guy who does it. I've got waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much stuff on my plate, so if *YOU* would like to take a stab at it and reap the (non-financial) rewards of having hundreds of total strangers hang on your every word, and then call you a jerk afterwards, we're probably willing to let you try. Drop me a line at Three@Republibot.com and we'll talk.
Is it too early to start calling this show a Joss Whedon Knockoff?

We start out with Artie in a limbo-lit set, shot in high contrast black and white, talking to Mrs. Fredericks. He wakes from this dream in his warehouse office to find Mika and Pete phoning in a genuinely funny frantic report from one of their assignments (“No more zoos! Monkeys spit! Did you know monkeys spit?” “You still have some monkey phlegm in your hair.” “It isn’t phlegm”). Then “Claudia,” the hacker from the previous three episodes kidnaps Artie.
