Tenchi x3

Advantages: Three in one box set, decent plots fun characters,
Disadvantages: A bit repetitive and predictable at times

Tenchi Masaki is your typical high school lad until one summer he disobeys his grandpa and invades his family shrine releasing the beautiful demon, space pirate Ryoko (in the OVA). Or in the tv series he finds her space ship crashed and her lying unconscious on his way to school. She is then followed by the first princess of jurai Ayeka (an alien planet powered by space trees) and her little sister Sasami who are looking for their step brother Yosho ...
...nothing better than to use Tenchi as her personal guinnea pig In a matter of days Tenchi's house is filled with beautiful women and through a series of attacks from space enemies it is discovered that Tenchi's grandpa is really a member of the Jurai Royal Family and so Tenchi is the first crown prince with special powers of the space trees. The Tenchi muyo (not muya) series was originally released as an OVA or short series in the early 90s followed ...

Atlantis Season 2 - When it really takes off

Advantages: Really building on the first season
Disadvantages: Will still need to own season 1 to understand everything

Season 2 of Atlantis really did move the show into great sci-fi. The addition of Ronan to the cast was a much needed move. Ford in the first season was an ok character but I never really felt that he was interesting enough to be more than a recurring guest star. I think the writing on the show got better over the second season with some great episodes and drama/comedy. The acting is brilliant, with all the characters managing to become deeper along ...
...Atlantis got its own in-house special effects for season 2 and you can really notice the difference. They really take the CGI up a notch in season 2 with some amazing space battles. The introduction of the Earth ship Daedalus really gives them a chance to show more aswell instead of last seasons puddle jumper shots. On the dvd there are some nice special features including featurettes about the show and my favourites, the commentaries which are ...

"You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

Advantages: Excellent episodes, Good value for money
Disadvantages: pity that there are not more extras

...most spinechilling creations in the Star Trek univers somehow the romulans then the ferengi and Klingons did not have the same - edge of seat effect. This has made them one star trek franchises most powerful publicity and ratings winners, no more does the prime directive apply instead its lock and load and lets unleash some of those phasers, and torpeedoes and blow them all to hell as soon as they enter scanner range. If only it were so simple. Tthis ...
...4 2-part episodes) from the Star Trek universe chosen by the fans and presented order as the borg sweep accross the galaxy. The episode "Regeneration" of the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise leads off the set as the "earliest" contact with the Borg even though it is the most recent to be filmed. The Next Generation episodes "Q Who" and the 2-part showdown "The Best of Both Worlds" (where picard is captured by the Borg) to the Star Trek: Voyager ...

The truth is in here...

Advantages: different
Disadvantages: soundtrack

This is the series of X Files that goes a little bit Indiana Jones. Mulder is left for dead after a train explosion but nursed back to health by a group of Indians. OK STOP! What did I just say? Yes, it’s about being nursed back to health by Native Indians: weird! Many consider this the best ever season, and I have to say I did enjoy it a lot. Gillian Anderson leads the series, fresh off giving birth, as she searches for Mulder. I think Anderson ...
...acting is as wooden as the lump in his trousers! There are 24 episodes in this season, and it really begins to introduce the mythology which will underpin the whole show. In particular, the encrypted tape which explains just how much the government know about aliens. This is one of the seasons where we do get to see some physical evidence of aliens, and as such it’s a brave move; no longer is it all a hypothesis, this one confirms the little green ...
