The chopping block has been somewhat unkind to science fiction lately. Eleventh Hour is the latest show to get cancelled as reported by Entertainment Weekly columnist Michael Ausiello. I personally am saddened by this devastating news and…no I’m not really, but I’m sure there are the token few fans of the show that are mourning its loss, right? Anyone? Hello?!?

Sci-Fi’s Top 5 Toughest Gals
There is no denying the contribution these characters have made to a genre otherwise dominated by men, and this list represents five of my favorite star hoppin’, cyborg bustin’ and alien blastin’ women in all the universe. They are bold, resourceful, intelligent, sexy and tough as nails. I know I wouldn’t mess with them that’s for sure, but enough jabbering on. Let’s get down to business.
Warp Drive Propulsion on the Horizon?
Marc Millis, former head of NASA’s Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project, explains in this video how it might be possible to achieve superluminal travel using our current understanding of the universe. All I know is, sign me up for that please! This guy seems to know what he’s talking about so take a look for yourselves.
Astronauts get to watch Star Trek in Space
How appropriate is it that the latest Star Trek film is being beamed aboard the International Space Station? Very much so, really.
Paramount sent a copy of the movie to NASA and then it was directly uplinked to the space station for the viewing pleasure of astronaut Michael Barrat and two of his crew mates. Michael Barrat credits his love for space exploration to the original series, citing it as his inspiration,
Meet the Guy Behind the ‘Death Star Destroys Enterprise’ video
Mike Horn, currently the editor for Current TV is the crazy genius behind that video that all too lovingly depicts the Enterprise being vaporized by the Death Star. A clever mashup of two of sci-fi-doms most enduring franchises, that video is just one of two he created. It also appears that his videos were not sanctioned by the venerable George Lucas as we may have previously conjectured,
New ‘Primeval’ Season Preview
Kicking off its third season is British science fiction series ‘Primeval’.
Looking past the mediocre special effects, this show pulls you in after the first viewing. It has that similar sort of ‘Doctor Who’ charm, and the premise of the show is cool enough to include dinosaurs, time travel, alternate universes and pretty ladies all in one package. To learn more go here.
Youngblood Movie Has a Director
I honestly thought it would never see the light of day. A Youngblood movie? Sure there was talk about it in the early days (the 90s) when Rob Liefeld was practically a rock star but things have changed since then. Mr. Liefeld’s talents are no longer in as high demand as they once were. In fact many believe that he has no talent, but that’s another issue altogether. However, comic book movies are a heck of a lot more popular than they were way back when (the 90s) and so there’s a good chance we’ll be seeing Shaft, Chapel, Badrock(?) and the rest of the gang blasting into theaters sometime next year. Or the year after. Who knows…
Thundercats Fan Trailer Whets Appetite
It is certainly one of the most anticipated films and one of a slew of productions digging into the nostalgia factor that have been quite successful as of late. Being one of the millions of 20 to 30 somethings holding their breath to see one of their favorite 80′s cartoons come to life, I have to say that I’ve been itching to see a trailer for this thing ever since it’s announcement.
Terminator Salvation’s PG-13 Rating
In the wake of having debunked the notion that he was under pressure to make the latest installment in the Terminator saga less of a bloodfest than perhaps it ought to be, esteemed film director McG recently came to the defense of the PG-13 rating.
