With the Horseman of Midsessions on the loose again, it only seems fitting that we continue our weekly Friday Night screenings with Sleepy Hollow

In the middle of the American Revolutionary War, Ichabod Crane is assigned a secret mission which ends as he beheads the Hessian soldier, the Headless Horseman, even as the horseman kills Crane. Over two hundred years later, the Headless Horseman is raised from his grave by an unknown party. However, with their fates so interwoven, the resurrection of the horseman causes Ichabod Crane to return to life. After the horseman beheads her friend and mentor, Lt Abbie Mills must team up with the old soldier to stop the Headless Horseman. As always, we will start at 5pm in Macaulay and do a pizza run at 7pm

Until Next Time

Once again, Spocksoc will be holding our weekly Friday night screenings. This week, we will be continuing season 1 of Almost Human.

In 2048, the uncontrollable evolution of science and technology has caused crime rates to rise an astounding 400%. To combat this, the overwhelmed police force has implemented a new policy: every human police officer is paired up with a lifelike combat-model android. After waking from a 17 month coma, John Kennex is teamed up with one such android against his will, even as he is dealing with a prosthetic leg and memory loss. After he throws his android partner out of a moving van, Kennex is given an android named Dorian, an older model that suffers from its own emotions and insecurities.

As always, we will be meeting in MaCaulay theatre at 5 and doing a pizza run at 7

In this week’s Friday night screening, Spocksoc returns to Westeros for the second half of season 4 of Game of Thrones. For those who need a summary, Game of Thrones is a battle of wits, politics, bloodshed and loyalty between the great houses of Westeros. From the gold of the House Lannister to the ruins of House Stark, from the resurging power of House Targaryen to newly appointed wardens of the north House Bolton, the land is thrown into turmoil in the fires of a war between fire and ice. In the Game of Thrones, you either win or you die. As always, we will be meeting in Macaulay theatre at 5pm and doing a pizza run at 7pm

This week, Spocksoc will be continuing with our winter break screenings with Lost Girl.

Bo is a succubus who grew up in an adoptive human family, unaware of her non-human nature and of the Fae world. Her succubus powers only become apparent to her when she accidentally killed her first love by draining him of his life energy, an act which forced her to flee her home. In the pilot episode, Bo saves a human girl named Kenzi; the two quickly become friends and Kenzi decides they should team up to create a Fae/Human detective agency. Confronted by the Fae elders with having to choose a side (“Light” or “Dark”), Bo declares herself neutral, deciding to side with humans.
