ABC was going to advertise the upcoming premiere of their re-booted, re-imagined, lizard loving Sci-Fi epic “V”, with big ass red Vs cunningly displayed over major New York and Washington landmarks. That is until someone re-thought this idea, or maybe perhaps thought at all.

ABC Gets Smart About Terrorizing New Yorkers And Celebrates With A “V” Music Video
Nathan Fillion’s Firefly Tribute on Castle
In case you missed it, “Firefly” fans (oh yeah right what are the chances of that?), here’s the opening scene from a recent episode of Nathan Fillion’s crime show “Castle” on ABC, which co-stars the oh-so-lovely Stana Katic. The episode was a Halloween-themed episode, and featured Fillion, the male star of the show, dressing up in his old “Firefly” uniform during the opening seconds.
Smallville Producer Hoping for a Season 10
After hearing about a couple of intriguing upcoming guest appearances on the CW’s “Smallville”, I made it a point to DVR the show. Unfortunately the first episode of Season 9 that I really watched was the Green Arrow episode where he went through a cheapie TV version of David Fincher’s “The Game”, and oh my Lord was it bad. But hey, maybe that’s just me. Onto the news.
Stargate Universe A Preview Of Water
Continuing in the theme of a ship without supplies, “Stargate Universe” brings us this weeks upcoming episode called “Water”.
Preview The First 7 Minutes Of ABC’S V
Now that Flash Forward is causing me some intestinal discomfort, I will turn my attentions to the next big network Sci-Fi effort called “V”. You probably know the story by now. It’s a re-imaging of the 80′s camp fest where mammal nibbling lizard people, clad in human skin, clamp down and deny us that freedom thing.
Stargate Universe Recap 1.05: Light
Amidst the early episode cheese, boobs and startup fumbling in “Stargate Universe”, I detected faint traces of fascinating Sci-Fi possibilities. In the 5th episode of SGU, I think we finally have what we’ve been waiting for.
The Death of Dollhouse? FOX Doesn’t Appear Optimistic.
Love it or hate it, any show that allows the gorgeous Eliza Dushku to parade around onscreen acting like a slut in service of “story” is a-okay in my book. But apparently not so much for most Americans, because Whedon’s “Dollhouse” continues to struggle in the overnight ratings, though seems to be making up for it with time-shifted numbers, i.e. DVR’s, online viewing, etc.
Fantastic New Trailer For The Prisoner
If you are a fan of great Sci-Fi and I know you are, or even just a student of awesome, you’re going to be couch bound for the 3 epic nights of AMC’s “The Prisoner”.
Michael Shanks and the Justice Society to Visit Smallville
You know, I really should start to watch “Smallville” more. This show, along with “Supernatural” are pretty much the only decent shows on the entire CW network, and I should start supporting it more than I have been. In any case, it looks like the superhero biz is going to get even busier on the show, as it’s reported that the Justice Society of America will be showing up very soon.
David Goyer Takes Over as Showrunner of FlashForward
I gotta admit, I’m digging ABC’s “FlashForward” a lot more than I thought I would. Sure, it’s still a bit uncomfortable to see Harold of “Harold and Kumar” fame running around with a gun and coming across like a kid playing cops and robbers, but the show just keeps getting more intense with each episode, and the mystery is killing me.
V To Scare The Crap Out Of Non Sci-Fi City Dwellers
ABC’s “V” has seen it’s share of turmoil and strife. It’s been put on creative hiatus and been reduced to a mini series with a possible series expansion next year. ABC perhaps has some renewed confidence in the show, because they are about to promote V in a very unusual way.
The Prisoner Is A Showcase Of How To Be Sci-Fi Stubborn
Have you forgotten The Prisoner? Don’t make that mistake. It’s coming to AMC stateside and god knows where in Canada on Nov 15th for a three night stay of serious, brow furrowing, psychological re-education.
Julia Benson From Stargate Universe Comments On Her Breasts
Julia Benson, the apparent owner of those distracting boobs from last weeks SGU episode “Darkness” comments on the shots that have us all in a bit of a state.
Legend of the Seeker Season 2 Promos
I’m not entirely sure what “Legend of the Seeker’s” second season will be all about, but it seems to feature lots of scenes with Charisma Carpenter and other lovely ladies wearing skintight red outfits (and even one girl-on-girl smooch!). That’s, you know, kinda hot. Season 2 promos for “Legend of the Seeker”, including a brief teaser for the upcoming season below. The show returns to the airwaves November 7.
Stargate: Universe 1.05 Light Promos
It looks like things are not going well for our “Stargate: Universe” crew. After last week’s slingshot-gone-awry episode, they’re now headed right into the sun. Oops. Here are promos for this week’s episode, “Light”. So, besides the prospect of everyone dying, this episode also features Scott and Chloe getting their freak on. Eli will not be pleased.
