Oh Boy! Quantum Leap Returns to TV … as Source Code the TV Show

Jake Gyllenhaal in Source Code (2011) Movie Image

Hey, if you can’t get Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell back on the tube together, you mind as well get a decent facsimile in a TV show based on the movie “Source Code”. It’s essentially the same premise, right? Guy jumps back in time into the body of someone and has to solve a problem. In this case, it’ll probably be murders, robberies, nuclear attacks, etc, but it’s still essentially the same idea.

Fringe Season 4 Teaser Trailer

Update: JMS says Koenig “misspoke”, and that he is not “in negotiations with WB to develop more Babylon 5.” Sigh. You can read his Twitter post here.

Warehouse 13 Renewed for Fourth Season

The Syfy Channel’s “Warehouse 13″ is such a silly show. I once called it a silly show and someone got mad. I don’t know why. It’s a silly show. The acting is silly, the writing is silly, the direction is silly. Look, it’s just a SILLY show. Mind you, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Sometimes you just want to kick back and watch 60 minutes of something silly. “Warehouse 13″ serves that purpose for me.

Syfy Channel Cancels Eureka

It was canceled, then it wasn’t canceled, and now … it’s canceled again?

EW confirms that the cable network won’t go ahead with its previously planned 6-episode sixth season after all. Syfy said as much in a statement:

TNT’s Falling Skies Season 1 Suffers from Shoddy Writing and Shockingly Bad Plotting

Syfy’s Alphas Goes on my DVR List

Looks like I’ve found a new show to add to my DVR list, and it’s the Syfy Channel’s original show “Alphas” from writer Zak Penn. I had my doubts about the show from all the commercials (the production looked somewhat cheap), and overall the promotion Syfy was doing for the show really left me underwhelmed. The show itself, though, is much better than I had expected.

Preview Clips for Haven Season 2 Premiere Episode

The freaks of Haven are back! Uh, I mean, the “cursed”/”troubled” of Haven are back. Either/or, they’re back this Friday, July 15th at 10/9c on the Syfy Channel. The episode is titled “A Tale of Two Audreys”, so I guess that means the stuffy looking chick in the suit is the other Audrey. Probably.

A Quickie, Barely Proper Review of Torchwood: Miracle Day Pilot Episode

Let me preface this review/non-review by saying that I wasn’t really going to review the episode, since “Torchwood” is such a big thing in the sci-fi community right now that anyone and everyone will have already reviewed it once or twice and gotten their grandmothers involved. So, who needs one more review? As such, I’m going to eschew the proper reviewing format, and just go with bullet points. If you don’t like that, tough nuts. So, here goes.

TNT Renews Falling Skies for a Second Season

Rejoice, fans of alien invasions on TV! ABC might have taken “V” from us, but TNT’s given us “Falling Skies”, and if you were a little shy about committing to a show that might get yanked from you again, have no fear, because TNT has officially renewed the show for a second season.

Felicia Day, Wil Wheaton and Stan Lee Guest Starring on Syfy’s Eureka

When the Syfy Channel’s “Eureka” returns Monday, July 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, it’ll be bringing along three notable guest stars, including geek Goddess Felicia Day, “Star Trek’s” Wil Wheaton, and comic book god Stan Lee.

Warehouse 13? More Like Star Trek: Warehouse 13! Am I Right?

Ahem. Anyways, news is that former “Star Trek: Voyager” regulars Jeri Ryan (7 of 9 herself) and Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway) will be making guest spots on “Warehouse 13″ in the show’s upcoming Season 3.

Extended Trailer, Poster, and Images from SyFy’s Alphas

Gotta admit, this show has me intrigued, even though it looks a bit cheap in places. It premieres on Syfy July 11 at 10/9c.

Behind the Scenes of Torchwood Miracle Day

In case you’re not paying attention, the Americanized version of “Torchwood” will be funny, action-packed, and pure asskicking come alive. Or that’s what the cast/crew are promising in this latest behind-the-scenes featurette. Check it out, won’t you?

“Torchwood: Miracle Day” premieres July 8th at 10p e/p on STARZ.

Warehouse 13′s H.G. Wells Gets her Own Spin-Off Show

A steampunk TV show based on the character H.G. Wells as envisioned by the boys and gals over at “Warehouse 13″? Oh hell yeah. Especially if they somehow get the gorgeous Jaime Murray back in the role, though at this point, that’s looking like a longshot. Why? Here’s what THR says about the upcoming spin-off:
