VIDEO: Star Wars Flash Mob (that’s not just costumes and light sabers!)
This one is pretty cool. Other flash mobs have been good, but this one takes it to a very cool level. And I think the lack of costumes makes it even cooler. There do seem to be a lot of cameras there, though (and not just from the spectators) . . .

Super Hero Tournament of Champions: Human Torch vs. Iceman
Dr. Jayce- WHO WOULD WIN? Iceman WHY? On the surface this looks like a pretty even matchup, because it is hot vs. cold, but in reality it isn’t all that close. Iceman is an Omega level mutant. This means he has some of the highest potential EVER of all Marvel Universe mutants. HOW DO YOU…

Super Hero Tournament of Champions: Spider-Man vs. Flash (Wally West)
Dr. Jayce- WHO WOULD WIN? Flash WHY? Spidey is quick but not Flash quick. Flash’s abilities are often underrated. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE OUTCOME? This one isn’t even close in my mind. Speed wins out and webs do no harm to the hero in red….I mean the other hero in red. Ben-…

WHO: Season 7 Off to a Running Start!
As of this writing, the first two episodes of Doctor Who’s seventh season have aired. Or, as in my case, downloaded. (Legally. I promise. I used iTunes to buy the season.) So, how has it been? In a word, fantastic. Both episodes require almost no previous knowledge of the show, but both are deeply satisfying…

Wonder Woman: Coming to a Small Screen Near You? Finally?
Apparently Wonder Woman is getting another chance to get on TV. With Arrow looming on the horizon, bringing Green Arrow to the small screen, looks like Wonder Woman might be getting the Smallville treatment, with an “early adventures” series similar to Smallville’s retellings of the beginning of the Superman story. I’m trying to imagine this…

H+ (series review)
(This is part of a series of reviews of online sci-fi and fantasy.) H+ Like The Booth at the End, H+ has an interesting premise, although it comes in on the sci-fi end of the speculative spectrum. It is more like Electric City in form, though. Instead of having episodes, it consists of short, four…
