My Thoughts:
Another one from the '80s that I enjoyed. It is a good... and fun (in a silly way) continuance. I had to laugh at the faceless alien that shaped shift into the woman he saw in the playboy centerfold. She even had a big staple in her belly. Of course... just like the first one... this is the type of movie that is no more then mindless fun. Just something to escape from reality in for an hour and a half. I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first.

House of the Dead II, a review by addicted2dvd

House of the Dead II
A growing zombie infection overtakes an isolated university campus. Hoping to stop the spread of the infection and end the zombie plague, a secret government agency is sent in to find patient Zero, the original zombie, from which the infection started, and create an antidote. Once on campus, agency operatives Alex (Emanuelle Vaugier) and Ellis (Ed Quinn) find the entire university has been completely overrun! Immersed in a giant zombie battle, Alex and Ellis discover some of their fellow agents have their own plans for the zombie DNA...

My Thoughts:
After the first House of the Dead movie I thought I would never buy this one. But then I started to hear people say this one is much better then the first one. Going beyond a better story... no more video game inserts... no more epileptic inducing camera work. And they were right. Compared to the first movie this is a HUGE improvement. But even with that being said... I've still seen better zombie movies. But at least this one is very much enjoyable... a good, strong zombie flick. If you seen and hated the first House of the Dead and you dismissed this movie as more of the same... I recommend giving this one a chance. Spend some time at Zombie U!

"Stargate SG-1" Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: The Hak'tyl have to abandon their base because the Goa'uld Moloc has learned of it. O'Neill grants asylum to them until they've found a new world. Additionally, Rya'c wants to marry one of the Hak'tyl but Teal'c is opposed to this idea. But this gets him in trouble with Ishta.

My Opinion: Very good episode about tradions and role perceptions. I liked it a lot.

Synopsis: With the help of the Asgard beam technology the Stargate is stolen directly out of the Gate room. Shortly after this millions of Jaffa die of no obvious cause. While the SGC is trying to reclaim the Stargate, Teal'c (who is stranded at the Alpha Site) tries to find out what has caused the deaths.

My Opinion: The huge handicap of this episode was "Previously on 'Stargate SG-1'". They practically spelled the punch line out before they had even shown the first real scene. The secret of the death Jaffa was none to the audience and the "VX gas" was immediately classified as "harmless" in one's mind.
I was also sad when the rebel Jaffa died, I liked the guy.


From disc 3 on there are only 3 episodes on each disc. Additionally there are a few episodes not in the correct order, but I will watch them chronologically.

Synopsis: RepliCarter has come to our galaxy and is the bearer of bad news: Fifth has encoded the Replicator blocks that makes them immune to the disintegration weapon. RepliCarter wants to help Sam breaking the code, because she despises Fifth.

My Opinion:
