Smallville Christmas break recap

It was only a couple of weeks ago that Prince William and Kate announced their engagement and now they have been followed by Lois & Clark! The last time this happened in The New Adventures of Superman: Lois & Clark the show flopped. Luckily Smallville is on it's final season, and as well know when Clark becomes Superman he follows Lois round like a lost puppy, but she is too in love with Superman to notice. So I expect Lois knowing Clark's secret and the engagement is will not be lasting until the end of the season.

So we are 11 episodes in to the final season of Smallville, and now have to wait until January 28 for the next episode and there's a lot hanging in the air. Not just the engagement, but Watchtower is closed Clark and his fellow heroes have gone underground and Chloe sent a parcel to Lois so she may also be back on the scene too.

Now to enjoy the Christmas entertainment until the show's return.

Sonic Screwdriver FOR REAL!

News announced today reveals that Doctor Who’s infamous tool could soon be part of every mans tool kit. OMG I hear all sci-fi cry (like me), I could soon own my very own Sonic Screwdriver?! Well, Ultrasonic engineers at Bristol University and The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair are uncovering how a real life version of the fictional screwdriver - which uses sonic technology to open locks and undo screws - could be created.

Professor of Ultrasonics, Bruce Drinkwater, who is working with The Big Bang to inspire young scientists of the future, says the answer lies in ultrasonic sound waves. By operating the waves at frequencies way beyond the realms of human hearing, they can be used to apply forces to objects.

The technology is already being trialled in modern manufacturing to fix parts together and ultrasonic force fields are being developed within the medical field to separate diseased cells from healthy cells. Professor Drinkwater and The Big Bang team are now exploring whether super powerful versions of these sound beams could bring Doctor Who’s iconic device to life.

Anyway, I won’t confuse you with ALL the details, if you want to know more then book your tickets for The Big Bang at the ICC London ExCeL from 10 – 12 March 2011

No Ordinary Family jumps across the pond

This one's for all my UK readers. If you've been reading about a new sci-fi show called No Ordinary Family (see my earlier post on the show) then fear not as it is coming to digital channel Watch from 11th January 2011! Think of it as a light heartened Heroes, except their a family that were one day normal, and the next day no so normal. With a dad that creates e-fits in a police station, a scientist mum and two teenagers this show has plenty of drama, comedy and action to keep you entertained.

I've seen a few episodes ahead and from what I've seen it looks to be a promising show so add it to your New Year's list of things to watch.
