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...

Chuck’s Scott Rosenbaum Takes Over V Showrunner Duties

Man, what is going on over at ABC’s “V”? First there were all those rumors of delays, network unhappiness with the episodes that have been produced so far (resulting in rewrites and reshoots), and now word is that “Chuck” veteran Scott Rosenbaum has moved over to “V”...

What Roland Emmerich Couldn’t Obliterate

I am confident in reporting that in “2012″, an imminent digital masterpiece by director Roland Emmerich, your favorite phallic monument or architectural wonder is going to be completely squashed. However, in deciding which statue, building, city or structure was going to be tidal waved, rolled,...

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. Some people like it, some people hate it, some people just watch, uncertain of how it as yet computes in their estimation. I want it...

SGU Producer Joseph Mallozzi Would Like you to Stop Being Idiots

Well, this, er, is not going to prove very fruitful. Apparently tired of all the “Stargate: Universe” bashers showing up at his blog and leaving, well, SGU bashing comments, SGU producer/writer Joseph Mallozzi has responded with a long statement on his blog. Besides addressing the overall...

The Cast Of Roland Emmerich’s 2012 Wax On about the Return Of Quetzalcoatl!

My significant spouse and I are debating whether to go to “2012″. I, naturally, am firmly in the “Yup” camp as destruction of this quality and scope comes perhaps once in a Sci-Fi movie going lifetime. The spouse unit thinks that maybe the movie could be depressing and perhaps...

Robert Rodriquez Moves On From The Jetsons

Robert Rodriquez has apparently found other shiny little movie trinkets to capture his eye and has left the remake of the 60’s Sci-Fi cartoon “The Jetsons” to other interested parties. And it seems that the interested party is Peter Segal, the director of “Get Smart” and...

Trailer For Stephen King’s Under The Dome

Stephen King isn’t a good Sci-Fi writer, he’s a great Sci-Fi writer. In what I’m hoping will be a fantastic return to his epic and massive early “The Stand” period, we will soon be enjoying “Under The Dome”, a story of a small Maine town that gets bubbled by...

Denis Leary To Bring The World Of Gattaca To Television

Denis Leary is good, but I wouldn’t have thought that Sci-Fi was his kind of thing. Maybe he just loves a good idea. The awesome world of a genetic caste society described in the awesome “Gattaca” starring Ethan Hawke, Jude Law and Uma Thurman is on the way to T.V. Mr. Leary’s...

Stargate Universe Recap 1.06: Water

As I have been dutifully preparing to write this weeks episode recap of SGU, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of a particular moment or event in the story to launch from. Did anything really happen at all in “Water”? I don’t think so. The episode didn’t exactly...

Quick Promo for Lost’s Final Season 6

ABC has put out a quickie promo for the upcoming final season of their hit show “Lost”, which is set to begin and end its original TV run in 2010. As far as I can tell, there are no new footages, just old ones from the previous five, including the Kate-Sawyer cage match. Nice of them to include...
