Stargate Universe Recap 1.08: Time
Despite the inconsistent beginning to Stargate Universe, I’m beginning to think, after last nights planetary bombardment of wicked called “Time”, that we may really have a Sci-Fi show that wants to be something good. “Time” had some of the classic elements of a really memorable...

Roland Emmerich Wants Double The Independence Day Sequel Fun
I am one Sci-Fi fan that never tires of films where the aliens come down to Mother Earth and think that we humans will be as easy to conquer as butter, only to see us rise up and deliver a serious lesson in smackdown.

Gattaca TV Show to Become a Generic Cop Show?
The idea of a “Gattaca” TV show sounds like a winner when I first heard it, but the idea of turning Andrew Niccol’s perfectly honed world into another generic TV cop show on TV? Aw, man, I don’t know, that sounds, well, generic to me. In any case, Gil Grant, who has been assigned...

The second episode of ABC’s new “V” show dropped in the ratings — which is both expected and a little bothersome, according to THR. The bothersome part is that the show was down 27% from its record-setting pilot last week, a notable drop as it marks the largest fall from a premiere...

Smallville’s Justice Society Episodes to be a Two-Hour Event Movie
Honestly, I tried to give “Smallville” a chance after ignoring it all these years, but after devoting my undivided attention to three full episodes of the current season, I’ve removed the show from my DVR schedule. I don’t know what it is about the show, maybe it’s the complete...

Let’s face it, this isn’t that much of a surprise. The ratings have been abysmal, even with some positives from time-shifted numbers, Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse” never really took off as Fox had expected, or was hoping for after giving it a year two commitment. As it turns...

At some point in the distant past we reported that J.J. Abrams had purchased the film rights to Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, a hybrid Sci-Fi Fantasy group of novels that redefine epic. J.J. purchased the rights for 19 bucks, a magical number in the series and quite a steal.

Kate Beckinsale’s Hubby To Direct A Post Apocalyptic Mystery
Len Wiseman, either known as the director behind a few of the Underworld films, or as the husband of the even more gorgeous in person Kate Beckinsale, has pitched and sold a story about a group of folks that are lucky (or unlucky) enough to survive what I’m confident will be a wonderfully horrific...

Sometimes when an actor is interviewed for a movie or television show that is about to air, you can tell when they think the thing is actually really bad.
