CURRENTLY NEW ON UK TV
For rants and raves and random thoughts on the worlds of screen sci-fi try the Sci Fi Freak Blog. YOU JUST MISSED
Welcome to the Sci Fi Freak Site, a site run by fans of science fiction on television and at the movies for fans of science fiction tv and films. There aren't any lists of facts and stats and names here (there are professional sites that can do all that so much better). No, here there are simply our opinions of what we have seen - the good, the bad and downright reprehensible. Over one hundred TV productions and a similar number of films are given honest reviews as and when they appear in the UK and we can get to see them. What we do promise is that every review is what we really think and that we watch every single episode of every single show that we review. And our respect for anyone who gets a sci fi project off the ground is undimmed by the quality of the final product. If you enjoy the site then please sign please sign our |
WAREHOUSE 13 is open for business again
The second part of the fourth season deals with the dreadful fallout from Artie's use of the Astrolabe. Can the team recover? BEING HUMAN USA
What do you get if you have a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost sharing a house? It's not a joke, it's BEING HUMAN, one of the finest genre shows in recent years. So good was it that the US had to create its own version and now that the UK show has finished we can finally get to see what they have made of it. BEING HUMAN USA. TWICE UPON A TIME
The updated, reworked and generally mangled beyond all recognition (but in a good way) fairy tale show returns to fIVE for a second season and we can't wait to find out what new stories Storybrooke has for us. DOCTOR WHO is back for more
It's the second part of the Doctor's anniversary year and new stories will be told, old stories will be referenced, there is the mystery of a new companion to solve and a new Tardis control room to admire. Britain's premier science fiction show looks nothing like the venerable institution that it is. Sign in to 666 PARK AVENUE
Strange goings on in a fancy apartment block in New York promise more than a shade of Stephen King in its thrills, spills and spooky moments as a young couple come under the spell of a man who just might be the devil and certainly has an evil home. WIN STAR TREK THE VISUAL DICTIONARY
Fancy a book jammed full of lovely pictures from all the live action STAR TREK shows and films? Don't have a lot of cash to flash? We have three copies of STAR TREK THE VISUAL DICTIONARY to give away. Just go to our review of the book, answer the simple question and drop us an email. What could be simpler? LIGHTFIELDS Sees Ghosts In Three Eras
Treading similar ground to 2011's MARCHLANDS, this new ITV ghost story sees a tragedy in 1944 echoing through residents in the same house in 1975 and 2012. LIGHTFIELDS hopes to make lightning strike twice with the same format, but different characters and storyline. It's Tough BEING ERICA.
The world's only time travel self-help show, BEING ERICA returns to E4, but it's hidden away in the early hours of Sunday mornings, so you'll either have to be up early or use whatever kind of recorder you've got to find out just how hard it really is being an attractive unattached woman in Canada. FRINGE Reinvents Itself Again.
From initially chilly X-FILES wannabe to compelling science fiction drama, FRINGE has reinvented itself more times that Madonna and has grown on us each and every time. Now it's the fifth and final outing for the show, so treasure it whilst you can. The boys from RED DWARF are back.
The absolute best science fiction sitcom of all time, RED DWARF returns to satellite channel Dave after a misfiring miniseries outing seemed to have killed off the show. Can it recapture the glory days or will it be a pile of smeg? Here's hoping it's the former. CONTINUUM goes back in time
A cop from the future is hurled back in time with a bunch of terrorists she is pursuing. In order to protect her future, she has to save the present from them. CONTINUUM is on SyFy. MERLIN and Arthur return to BBC1.
After three years of prosperity, the peace of Camelot is about to be rocked by the return of Morgana Le Fey in the fifth series of BBC1's surprisingly entertaining reworking of the Arthurian myths, MERLIN. Will the king finally learn that his servant has been protecting him for years with magic? Will they finally respect each other openly. Will the CGI ever be good again? All these questions will be answered on BBC 1 on Saturday nights. HAVEN brings back the Troubles.
HAVEN Police Department's finest, Audrey Parker and Nathan Wuornos, continue the struggle to protect the town against its troubled inhabitants whilst trying to learn more about Audrey's past and Duke's future in the town where literally anything can happen. The ALPHAS have the power again.
The team of humans with superabilities known as ALPHAS returns for an unexpected second season, fighting the evil mutants and generally not getting on with each other. They can be found on 5*. |
