13 Thoughts On Warehouse 13 2.3: Beyond Our Control
Was it just me, or was last night’s episode of Warehouse 13 kind of… odd? By that, I don’t mean “intentionally wacky” as much as “just not the same as the show normally is.” Are these growing pains, or something more sinister? Here’re 13 unlucky-for-some thoughts about “Beyond Our Control”:
1. Was The Artifact The Least Important …
Doctor Who 5.12: Welcome To The Plastic Beachhead
Before I go any further, I have to say: I knew we’d see Rory again.
Okay, I mean, I thought we’d see Rory as a human being, not an Auton who ends up forced to shoot the love of his life – and, seriously, wasn’t it heartbreaking to watch him try and fight his programming as Amy finally remembered him? When she was crying and asking …
Transformers Package Art – More Than Meets The Toy
If there’s one thing that every kid who owned Transformers toys in the 1980s can agree on, it’s this: The packaging art always looked cooler than the toys. Whether it was the fact that the illustration of Optimus Prime didn’t have skinny arms or legs that broke ridiculously easily (Yes, it still annoys me, dammit!) or just seeing a …

How Did Marvel Lose Control Of Wolverine?
If you plan on attending any of the Marvel Comics panels at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, here’s a question you may want to consider asking: Why does the company not seem to have any idea what to do with Wolverine?
I ask because not only is the character getting killed off so that his soul can go and get into a few fights in Hell …
The Architect: Ellen Page Talks Inception and Christopher Nolan
There are scores of fascinating, enigmatic characters in Inception (read our full review), but there is only one architect.
And I sort of love the fact that it’s Ellen Page.
For years now, I’ve been watching the young actress choose parts that would make other young starlets balk. She played one of the most vindictive teenie …
Singularity: Die You Commie Ghost Mutants Die
Here’s my pet peeve about video games set in Russia. So you know that letter they always use as an R, to make things look all Russian? This one — Я?
That is not an R. It is pronounced “ya.” So if you know any Russian, and you’re playing a game like Singulaяity, set on the secret island of Katoяga, it starts to get on your …
13 Thoughts On Warehouse 13 2.2: Mild-Mannered
Freed of the demands of its own mythology, last night’s Warehouse 13 went back to its original formula of “Pete and Myka hunt down the Mysterious Object Of The Week,” and the results were… well, more enjoyable than last week, if nothing else. At least it gave me these 13 thoughts…

Philips Norelco Announces Deluxe ‘SensoTouch 3D’ Electric Razors
I don’t like to shave. I work from home, which doesn’t help matters much, and find shaving to be too time consuming to make it worth the daily ritual that so many men undertake. So you’d think I have no interest in electric razors, when the fact of the matter is that I’m constantly on the lookout for new shaving technologies that can …
Review: The Sticky Spiraling Dream World of Inception
Grade: A+
A couple weeks ago, I published my spoiler-free first take on Inception. It was positive. A rave. A bubbly exclamation that was openly questioned out there by other media outlets. But I stand by every word.
In fact, the more I think about it, the richer this tapestry becomes.
I have since spoken to several people about …
