Fandom Live! Here Comes The Rain Again

The rainy season is back with a vengeance so it seemed appropriate for it to be the focus this week.

H2O: Just Add Water

My cousin introduced me to an Australian TV series two years ago. It's called H2O: Just Add Water. It's a TV show for teens about three girls - Emma, Cleo and Rikki - who become mermaids. They acquire some power over water and yes, tails. In this case, they become fish whenever they get wet. This was really tough on the one named Emma since she was part of the swim team. Nope, they don't give prizes for being a fish, just for swimming like one.

At first I wasn't sold on the show. It made me think Charmed meets mermaids. Same old, same old; gave it a chance anyway and the kids liked it. The theme is catchy too and at least, it is not your old mermaids live in Atlantis jazz.

Anyway, we used to watch the show on youtube, then that was gone. We got hold of the complete first season but finding the second was not so easy. Then we stumbled onto a youtube video from someone who introduced us to an online source - VEOH.com. it's free and you get to watch TV online. No need to download unless you want to. Which means I have to get off this blog and go 'thon the show.

FL! 080615 Father's Day

It's father's day so naturally the Fandom Live! team took time to acknowledge the often unacknowledged, under-appreciated presence in our lives - dad! Check out the famous dads (fictional of course) who made it on the Fandom Best Dad list.

Naturally, you may have your own idea of who should have taken home the trophy. That is our question of the week. Who do you think is the best dad (science fiction or fantasy character)? Feel free to leave a comment @ or email us at live@fandomcafe.com.

Enjoy the show and we hope to see you next week! PS. If you're having difficulty with the buffering, watch the show from the video section of fandomlive.multiply.com.

Star Trek Moment in Numb3rs

I absolutely love it when I watch any TV show or movie and a Star Trek reference is used. In this case, it's in the episode of Numb3rs titled Checkmate - yup, I'm still catching up to the latest episode of the series, slowly but surely.

Anyway, Megan Reeves (Diana Farr) walks in and says if the scene was like when Kirk is away, Bones and Spock take over (referring to Amita [Navi Rawat] and Larry [Peter Mac Nicol]). Larry replies no, and proceeds to list the chain of command in TOS.

Hope to catch more references.

FL! Goodbye Summer! Back to School

Summer is ending and school is about to start. Naturally, it's time to talk about going back to the realm of learning. Choose your school from our recommended campuses. Meet Fandom's preferred professors. Plus, Nick is back with new words to use for school.

Watch the episode and do feel free to share your picks with us.

LSS... Sort Of

We were preparing for the next Fandom Live! episode and it was driving me batty that I couldn't remember the title of that reality TV show I watched way back. I knew it was a fighting competition and it had amateur martial artists competing. There were three masters and it was set in china. Other than that, I had very little recall. FRUSTRATING!

I finally found it. It was called fight school. Go figure. At least I finally found it. Now I am happy . Next!
