It’s on at 8pm this Thursday (the 26th) and we have been planning a get-together for it. This is a one off screening so try…

    I hope you all enjoyed your holidays. I certainly am. =) Writing this e-mail from international waters just outside of Reykjavik, Iceland. For most of us, however, it’s time to return to uni for session two. On the plus side, more uni means more SpockSoc, yay! Since I’m still away, James will be running the…

    Just a few weeks of exams left until it’s holiday time. But before the exams start, SpockSoc will be going to see Men in Black III at the Randwick Ritz – mostly just because we forgot to arrange an outing for it last week. Silly us. Anyway, we’ll be going to the 6:30pm 2D screening…

    Second last week, whew. Due to poor reviews and negative comments (and the fact that it’s airing on Ten), we’ve decided to can our original plan of Touch. Instead, we’re showing more Once Upon a Time. The show is based on the theory that there is an alternate universe where every classic fairy tale character…

    This week at SpockSoc, the first half of Game of Thrones season two. Set in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Game of Thrones chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the kingdom’s noble families for control of the Iron Throne; as the series opens, additional threats from the snow and ice covered region north of Westeros…

    Whew, week ten hey? Only a few more weeks of session left. Hope people aren’t starting to get bogged down with assignments (but hey, you should have done them before the last second anyway =P). This week, we’re showing Grimm. It started at around the same time as Once Upon a Time, but I decided…

    This week’s screening is Alphas. The series follows five people, known as “Alphas”, led by noted neurologist and psychologist Dr. Lee Rosen as they investigate criminal cases involving other suspected Alphas. Rosen and his team of Alphas operate under the auspices of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the criminal investigative arm of the U.S. Department…

    I’m making a change from the published schedule this week – you’ll find this tends to happen on a semi-regular basis. This week, we’re showing Misfits, season three. Misfits follows five early-20s delinquents on community service in Wertham (a fictional borough in London) who are caught outside during a supernatural thunder storm and who acquire…

    This week at SpockSoc: Eureka, the second half of season four. As with the Warehouse 13 screening earlier in the session, I don’t quite have enough episodes to make a full screening, so I’ll be filling the remaining time by showing one of Colin Ferguson’s Q&A sessions from last year’s Warehouse In Eureka event run…

    This week’s regular screening – and we’re still on, even though it’s a break – is a collection of miniseries and specials. We’ll decide the exact order (probably by vote or else at random) on the night, but in no particular order: Neverland – a new re-imagining and prequel (pre-imagining?) for the story of Peter…
