Information for the New Year, and Transporting Stuff that Was Supposed to be on this Blog to a New One.

I did say a few weeks ago that I would be doing some reviews of several episodes of Sci Fi shows on this blog. However I just don't feel that they "fit" in here somehow. They seem out of place on a broad brush blog that devotes most of the time to currant affairs, popular pseudoscience and taking the piss out of the Daily Mail (all indeed enjoyable pastimes I might add.) I don't know where they fit in on here overall. Now I did say when I started that stuff like that would be put up, but it hasn't really happened. But then again I was just making this whole thing up on the fly, and most of the stuff I still put up is largely spur of the moment stuff that happens to tickle my fancy at a given moment. However the desire to review the episodes of a few sci fi shows close to my heart has never left me, and indeed in 2007 I had some bare bones reviews of the Star Trek spin off Deep Space 9 put to paper, as it was being shown on syndication on Virgin 1 (Channel 1 as it is now known) at the time. Indeed taking a leaf out of the expansion of Chuck Sonnenburgs superb SFDebris reviews to blip TV has spurned me on even more. There is a lot of personal enjoyment for me in mulling over shows that ran through my formative years. So I have decided to put them all together on a separate blog I intend to start up some time in the new year. It makes more sense that way, and not just on a blog seemingly established to picking holes in Peter Hitchens opinion pieces. After all there is no rule to say you can't have more than one blog on the go.

So the shows I intend to review will probably start with Star Trek Deep Space Nine (Seasons 1 to 7 concurrently in viewing order), then the Trek Movies, and Babylon 5 after that. After that, who knows? It's a lot of telly for sure. But I think something like that needs a separate, more specialist blog altogether. I'll start setting notes up at Crimbo, and put the details up on here before everyone is too pissed to be physically capable of reading anything at all as New Years Eve kicks in to gear.

Happy Days.
