Five preview clips from “V’s” Tuesday episode, 1.02, “There is No Normal Anymore”. My favorite clip: Erica stumbling into Father Jack at the FBI, and her priceless quote, “You’re a friggin’ priest???” Love it. Also, Chad the reporter realizes he just sold his soul to the devil, and more alluring V girl action with Laura Vandervoort and Morena Baccarin. Plus, alien wounds are yucky.

Stargate Universe Recap 1.07: Earth
On Earth, life is even more complicated for the crew and passengers of the Destiny than their uncertain existence on the ship. That’s the lesson for this week. Man eating dust devils, no water or air and sun surfing, those are easy. It’s relationships that are hard.

“V” 1.02: “There is no Normal Anymore”
The Apocalypse is Still on Hold on Tonight’s Supernatural
You knew it had to happen: Dean and Sam Winchester REALLY breaks through the fourth wall in tonight’s episode of “Supernatural”, titled, “Changing Channels”. It looks like the apocalypse and all that end of the world stuff will just have to wait while the boys have to figure out how to escape the Trickster’s latest game — trapped inside some of America’s current crop of mindnumbingly SHITTY TV shows.
Roland Emmerich Has His Plans Made For 2013
Roland Emmerich has an early Xmas present ready for all you fans of fine, tasteful and hysterical disaster movies. “2012″ will enrich all our Sci-Fi Holiday preparations with absolutely photo realistic footage of mother Earth undergoing an extreme makeover.
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 feeling good. Good actors, really nice special effects and a twisty story with lizard loving humans that will balance out the human loving lizards. I wonder how humanity would really react if big whomping starships appeared over our cities? I guess it would depend on the city. Would the aliens have humans worshiping them? Damn right we would. Hell, we worship Britney, or some of us do (Nix).
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 happy. If the ratings hold reasonably well, look for more lizard on human and lizard on lizard action next year after the Olympics. Thanks EW!
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” to replace Scott Peters as the show’s new showrunner.
Open Discussion Thread: The New V Pilot
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. Did you love it? Hate it? Somewhere in-between?
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 to be good. How’s that?
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.
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.
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 tank. It wasn’t horrible. It just seemed like, narratively speaking, the show was just ah, treading water. Television shows have a proud history of doing this, usually for the purposes of setting us up for some important future development. I’m really not sure what that important development could be here.
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 that one, though I’m not sure why. Also, Jack still looks like a total dork.
SyFy Greenlights American Version of Being Human
Sure, the BBC original show “Being Human” might have been good, even great, but it’s, you know, got them funny accents, and who wants to deal with that? As a result, the SyFy Channel has just greenlit a 13-episode order for an American version of the supernatural UK show.
