Sci-Fi Showdown GATE-TO-GATE - Season AwardsWelcome to the final post in the Sci-Fi Showdown Gate-to-Gate edition for the year 2006. For the past 10 weeks, I have been reviewing each new episode of Stargate Sg-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Though for those keeping track (as opposed to last year's Sci-Fi showdown), there really hasn't been much competition this time around. With Battlestar Galactica

Week 3 - July 29Winner: Battlestar Galactica ("Fragged")It was a rather close call, this week. "Stargate Sg-1" had a great, consistent episode that revealed the new threat facing the galaxy. This new religious crusade enemy is a great addition, and sufficiently different than the G'ould and Replicators. However, it was its climax that put "Battlestar Galactica" on top. The final 15 minutes were

Cillian Murphy rules. I am proud to announce that he is my Favorite new actor.You may remember him in such films as "28 Days Later," in which he played the lead character, Jim, and "Batman Begins," as lead villain, Dr. Crane (aka The Scarecrow). In both of these performances, I feel he has proven himself to be not only a potent actor, but also a very versatile one, at that. As the Scarecrow, he

After an overly-long discussion with friends and family on movies, both past and recent, and on Khyron's 5-Point Rating System, I have been lead to realize that I was a bit overly and under critical of my two latest reviews.My reviews are often based off in-movie feelings and discussions I have immediately afterwards. However, by the time I sit down to write them, I may have forgotten key

As much of Khyron's Corner involves me reviewing things, I feel it's necessary to explain Khyron's 5-Point Rating System.1 - Garbage. There are major plot-holes, and no redeeming qualities. View at your own risk. Example: "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation"2 - Poor. There's at least one major fault, and/or a multitude of smaller ones. However, it also has at least one redeeming quality. Example: "Alien

As some of you may know, the Sci-Fi channel's 'Sci-Fi Friday' line-up has me brimming with joy. Back-to-back, brand new episodes of "Stargate Sg-1," "Stargate Atlantis," and "Battlestar Galactica" comprise the three greatest, consecutive hours on television.I am proud to introduce to you, "Khyron's Sci-Fi Showdown." Every Saturday, I will be decide which of the three episodes, played the night

If you've been following my conflict with movie choices this week, you know that I chose to see Michael Bay's, "The Island," over Rob Zombie's, "The Devil's Rejects." I wanted to see both films with near equal enthusiasm, but it was Bay who got my hard-earned cash.However, curiosity, it seems, has killed the cat once more. As I stated before, I am a sucker for movies with hype. Unable to control

Lock your doors and turn-off the lights—Khyron has returned for another installment of his tomb of forbidden knowledge that some scholars now recognize as, Ghost Files.This week, I present to you a completely bizarre story of freaky bananas and unexplained death, as well as an example of the use of modern technology to capture miracles in progress.

After much deliberation, I have chosen to screen the new Michael Bay film, "The Island," over Rob Zombie's, "The Devil's Rejects." A lot of thought went into my decision, but ultimately the preservation of my purity won out. The result? I couldn't be any happier about my choice."The Island" - Directed by Michael BayOf all the directors that I revere, I cannot honestly say Michael Bay is one of

The Sci-Fi channel, in preparation for the upcoming film, "Serenity," has begun airing the first (and only) season of the love-it or hate-it series, "Firefly" (the show which "Serenity" is a continuation of). Always a sucker for movies with hype, I decided to give "Firefly" another go.I remember when the show first aired on Fox. At the time, I didn't like it as much as I wanted to. My

Mere hours after I published the article, "That's Hot," the sky darkened, signaling a coming cold front, destroying the heat wave with strong winds and sheets of rain. It would seem I spoke a bit too soon.I'm not just talking your everyday sun-shower, here. No, this was a dark as night, get yer scuba gear kind of rain. If this rain was cats and dogs, it would have been lions and wolves. For a

Although for 7 months or more it truly is colder than the Devil's heart, for those brief summer months, it can get pretty freaking hot.For example, in the past 7 days, the temperature has hovered around 90 degrees.

It has been a rather enjoyable year for cinema. So far we've been gifted with such prizes as 'Sin City', and 'Batman Begins', plus the return of 2 Georges for 'Land of the Dead' (see my review), and 'Star Wars Episode III'. It seems now, however, there's nothing left to do but wait for 'Saw 2' this October......Or is there?There is another film this summer that has attracted my attention: the new

Well, I kept the number 8 in my pocket for nearly 8 hours today (it seemed the right amount of time). The result? I came home, $0.23 richer. That's right, folks, I found 2 dimes and 3 pennies sitting on a table--that, and I had some free doughnut-holes in the break room.My conclusion is that, while I'm not completely satisfied by the results, the fact I actually found money prevents me from

Propagated by Glynis "Numbers Lady" McCants, rumor has it that by placing the number 8 in your wallet, you will be gifted with monetary fortune. Always willing to make a few bucks, I will be testing this rumor, myself.I have placed a Post-it note with the number 8 in my empty wallet.Will Khyron be gifted with riches? Or will he fall victim to the dangers of numerology? Check back to find out.

Friday night has officially been taken over by the Sci-Fi channel. They are kicking out all the stops by airing new episodes of their three hit shows, Stargate Sg-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica. And, I must say, I have been completely blown away. These 3 shows comprise the 3 greatest, consecutive hours of television, ever.Stargate Sg-1:This is one of the few shows that I can

After nearly 6 and a half days of waiting patiently, I have finally received my Tyranid battleforce. What are the Tyranids? They are a race of insect-like aliens, hell bent on consuming the galaxy in the popular table-top wargame, Warhammer 40,000.Being one of my oldest and most cherished hobbies, table-top wargaming (or more specifically, Warhammer) has been an integral part of my life for

Hello. My name is Khyron, and I'm addicted to MMORPG's...It was a sad day on Friday when, after almost a full 6 months, I finally called to cancel my Matrix Online subscription. I look back, now, at all that I accomplished in that time...And, unfortunately, I didn't really accomplish anything.As is the case in so-called MMORPG's, you spend hour after hour running archetypical missions and

Cinema plays a rather large role in my life. And, as such, I would like to consider myself a learned individual, capable of discerning a classic from a steaming-pile of Alien vs. Predator.For my premier review, I have chosen my most anticipated movie of this year, George A.
