Steven Spielberg to go Under the Dome with Stephen King

Stephen King himself mentioned earlier this month that his latest book, the gargantuan tome “Under the Dome” (the book clocks in at a respectable 1088 pages) will be headed to the small screen, and now we know a little bit more about the project: besides King, the project will, in all likelihood,...

South Park’s 2012 Parody. And Pee Drinking Episode.

The boys at “South Park” always likes to toss in a big Hollywood movie parody or two in their episodes. Last week they took a swipe at James Cameron’s “Avatar”, and this week it’s Roland Emmerich’s disaster epic “2012″. In the episode, the boys go...

NBC’s Canceled The Listener Returns for Second Season on Canadian TV

NBC’s canceled “The Listener” starred Craig Olejnik as a telepathic paramedic who uses his gift to solve crimes. That’s a nifty little premise, but I never got around to watching it, and apparently neither did anyone else. I never knew when NBC was showing the show, so it just...

Nine Preview Clips For The Third Episode Of V A Bright New Day

It’s a bright new day on “V” tomorrow night as the Visitor lizards finally get legal and it looks like we have some continuing lizard human fraternization. It can’t end well. Somebody needs to explain away why the Visitors look exactly like humans despite having evolved on a completely...

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...

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...

V’s Second Episode Drops Slightly in the Ratings

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...

Fox Officially Cancels Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse

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...

So what do you do after you’ve killed your partner of seven years and discovered that he was actually a space alien in disguise?

James Caviezel and Jamie Campbell Bower Talk About The Prisoner

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. Of course, pushing the show is something they are contractually required to do. Lying well is an art that takes time. In the case of James Caviezel...

Stargate: Universe 1.08 Time Promo Images

I’m all for allowing a show to gradually introduce itself as much as the next guy, but all the survival arcs in the first seven episodes of “Stargate: Universe” is starting to wear a little thin. And it’s not as if they’re even slowly introducing new characters with each...

Catch The Latest Trailer For The Prisoner

The Prisoner, starring Ian McKellan and Jim Caviezel hits the airwaves this Sunday on AMC. It is going to rock. That’s my prediction. Forget the on and off quality of your recent Sci-Fi fare. Flash Forward, Fringe and SGU might be wobbling, but this show, a 6 hour miniseries retelling the classic...
