    Hope you enjoyed the mid-session break. This week at SpockSoc, we’re showing Dollhouse, right from the very start. Dollhouse is the new series by Joss Whedon (of Buffy and Firefly fame). I haven’t seen any of it before, but it’s apparently good. Eliza Dushku plays a young woman called Echo, a member of a group…

    Hope you’re enjoying your mid-session break. We will be having a screening this week, and hopefully things have been sorted out with security so that the alarm won’t be going off. This week, we’re showing the second half of Crusoe. It’s a thirteen-episode series vaguely based on Daniel Defoe’s novel Robinson Crusoe. Robinson Crusoe (played…

    This week at SpockSoc, Mystery Atlts – the final third of season five. I don’t know how much you need to know from previous episodes, but I’d be surprised if it’s more than can be explained with recaps at the start of episodes, so come along even if you’re not completely up to where we…

    This week at SpockSoc, we’re showing Eureka. It got cancelled shortly before our last screening of it, leaving us with only one episode left to show, but has since gotten de-canceled, giving us more episodes to show, yay. By some coincidence, the episode immediately prior to the last one we showed will be on TV…

    This week, we’ve showing two things. Firstly, Torchwood: Children of Earth – the five-episode story which comprises the entirety of season three. As per usual for Torchwood, it’s dark and disturbing, but really quite good. As an extra bonus, it’s fancy-schmancy HD, unlike most other episodes we’ve been showing, but if you can tell the…
