Stargate Universe Recap 1.07: Earth

Roswell, Texas – Saddle up Boys!

Well, there it is, Roswell, Texas - the book I have coveted for the past two years but somehow just never got around to reading. Now I know why, because this multi layered volume of ‘twisted Texas tawdriness’ pretty much soaked up every insomniac moment I had and then some....

Behind the Scenes On The Casting Of Zackary Quinto As Spock

Having been raised on the old school Trek and being of the advanced age to have actually watched the show while it was still on it’s network run, getting to know a new Spock was a little difficult.

The Cast Of V Speak

Now that “V” seems to be off to a good start ratings wise I can stop stressing out and settle in to a possibly full season of lizards in disguise. 14 million viewers is a good number, it works. There will be a bit of a drop off probably since 14 million is a hard number to sustain but I’m...

V Gets Great Ratings In Debut

Well, well. “V”, our next Sci-Fi obsession, did very well in the ratings last night. How about 14 million viewers? How does that grab you? It was the second highest rated debut this season behind NCIS: LA. I’m surprised frankly. Since I really liked the show, I’m surprised and...

Anna and her Visitor buddies are about to touch down tonight on ABC (in case you missed the gazillion commercials on TV last night), and this is your open discussion thread to talk about the pilot.

See The Preview Of This Weeks Stargate Universe Episode Earth

Stargate Universe is a popular little Sci-Fi effort that seems to have a certain strange attraction to both Nix and I and you, out there, in the dark beyond the tubes.
