Buffy the Vampire Slayer Volume 5: Predators and Prey

03 Dec 2009 / Comments Off / in Books/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=3]
144 pages • Dark Horse • September 9th, 2009 [PB]

A collection of issues 21-25 from the Season Eight comic books. But does it translate to the medium, asks Christopher Bryant?

In Predators and Prey there are five stories and five different authors. They range from the dramatic and emotional depths synonymous with the series to the esoteric geek-fest moments that were restrained by the medium of television.

Dollhouse: Season One

15 Aug 2009 / Comments Off / in Film & Television/by Editor

[rating=4]
US: 666 min • Fox Television • DVD

It may have started slow, but Dollhouse proved to be a fascinating series. The dollhouse is the base for people who are in a tabula rasa state. These voluntary ‘dolls’ have their personalities removed and stored on disc, which leaves them a blank slate onto which other personalities can be imprinted so that they can be sent out as operatives. Don’t be put off by episodes 3 and 4 …

By episode six, the Whedon written and directed ‘Man on the Street’, Dollhouse becomes compelling. The audio commentary, provided by Whedon alone, is a fascinating insight into the creative and production processes. Whedon is a master of the story arc.

Firefly: The Complete Series (2002)

09 May 2009 / Comments Off / in Classics: Film and Television/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=5]
US: 665 min • 20th Century Fox • DVD

This first-rate sci-fi show was cancelled after 14 episodes when it should have run for many years.

Firefly was much mourned, and rightly so. It is one of the finest Sci-Fi shows in the history of television.

Religion, Politics and Sex

09 May 2009 / Comments Off / in Features/by Christopher Bryant

Religion, Politics and Sex in Battlestar Galactica

The 2003 reboot of Battlestar Galactica reconceived the possibility of Sci-Fi television, from the depth of the characters through to its engagement with sexuality. But on the subject of homosexuality it consistently faltered.

It is the complexity of the series, its darkness, and its willingness to deal with the questions of politics, sex and religion head on that make it such a landmark in television history.

Angel: After the Fall • Volume Three

26 Mar 2009 / Comments Off / in Books/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=4]
192 pages • IDW Publishing Horse • March 15th, 2008 [PB]

The series Angel: After the Fall picks up where the television show left off. This collection starts with the 8th installment, the one in which the series found its way after a faulty start.

This collection takes the story right back to the beginning, to the very why and what of Angel. And the rest is … spoiler.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer • Volume 3: Wolves at the Gate

16 Feb 2009 / Comments Off / in Books/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=3]
192 pages • IDW Publishing Horse • March 15th, 2008 [PB]

In the third collection of the Season Eight comic series Buffy finally gets in touch with her inner lesbian. Nerds worldwide mourn that this is not televised …

Both the girls are naked and just about everyone who matters – even twinkster Andrew – interrupt their post-coital embrace.

About Polari Magazine

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
