Week in Geek is The Companion‘s weekly digest of all the latest trailers, announcements, controversies, spicy memes, and more. Not everyone has the time or inclination to sit on social media all day staying on top of this… but we do and we need to justify the time we’ve wasted.
If you’d like Week in Geek poured piping hot into your inbox every Monday, sign up here.

What We’re Looking At

What We’re Talking About
Sci-fi geeks were spoilt for announcements at this year’s Game Awards. Here we go:
What We’re Watching
What We’re Buying*
*These aren’t sponsored, we don’t get a cut, and nobody sends us freebies. It’s just some cool stuff we’re lusting over hard.

I get it. Nobody reading this will die for Power Rangers, but porcine antagonist Pudgy Pig (rude!) has joined the 6″ Lightning Collection from Hasbro and that’s something. Where else can you find adjustable trotters?
Available for $31.99 in the US and £33.99 in the UK.

Fancy a replica Star Trek: First Contact Borg Queen skull and spinal column signed by Alice Krige herself?
Well, rummage around down the back of your cube for a mere $1,449.99 US (approx £1,094 UK).
Sci-fi fandom needs your help. Nobody else writes the deep dive articles we do. Nobody else creates in-depth interview podcasts or invites you to put questions to showrunners and stars. And nobody else treats your favorite sci-fi shows and movies like they matter – like they can save lives or change them – but we do.
None of that is cheap. Great writing costs money, original analysis costs money, and audio/video production costs money. We keep our costs as low as we can, but we refuse to compromise on quality.
We’re not backed by studios or massive media conglomerates. There are five of us fighting every second to make The Companion all that it can be. We’ll never accept paid advertising on The Companion because if we did we wouldn’t be able to write about whatever you like, the way that you like.
That’s why we need geeks like you to join us.
Sign up now. If you don’t like it, simply cancel and you won’t be charged. But if you do stay, your membership goes towards creating more of the content you love on the sci-fi shows and movies that you love.
