Get a Glimpse Of Stargate Universe Episode 3

stargate-universe01This is apparently a sneak preview of the drama in the desert from Episode 3 of SGU. There seems to be a lack of morale amongst the team members. That and it looks like young Mathew Scott is seeing things.

Underworld Vampress To Guest On Stargate Universe

In the continuing theme of adding interesting people with acting chops to Stargate Universe, Rhona Mitra of Underworld and Doomsday fame will join the cast of SGU for an apparent three episode affair. She will be playing a villain that hopefully makes the SGU kids lives miserable.

SyFy Boasts About Stargate Universe Ratings, Dollhouse Beatdown

Sounds like SyFy is pretty happy with Friday’s two-hour premiere of their latest new show, Stargate: Universe. Besides trumpeting the “best franchise premiere performance in four years”, the channel’s press release also took time out to get a rib kick into Joss Whedon’s poorly performing Dollhouse on network (i.e. free) TV.

TV Review: Stargate Universe – Pilot (#2)

Stargate UniverseI am just about a Stargate virgin. I have seen the first movie, starring Kurt Russell and James Spader and I liked it. It had a cool concept and I really liked the whole Egyptian mythic tie-in. Since that movie it just hasn’t been on the radar. I’m sorry. I’ve been a very, very, bad Sci-Fi blogger.

TV Review: Stargate Universe – Pilot

You’ve heard about it, some of you have dreaded it, and others have been anticipating it. It’s the 2-hour premiere of Stargate: Universe, the third series in the long-running sci-fi franchise that helped launched the Sci Fi Channel and now, the SyFy Channel. As you may have heard, the idea behind Universe was to take the old and spice it up with the new. Did it work? Is it all one big FUBAR? Let’s find out together, shall we?

Day One and V to Premiere as 4-Hour Mini-Series Events

It seems a lot of major decisions have been made in regards to two highly anticipated sci-fi shows. Variety reports that NBC has decided to air Jesse Alexander’s Day One as a 4-hour mini-series event instead of a full-blown 13-episode season, as originally planned. Something similar is happening with the new V TV show on ABC.

As Stargate: Universe Approaches, Another Delightful Interview With Robert Carlyle

robert-carlyleI’m super stoked about tomorrow nights Episode 1 of “Stargate: Universe”. I’m going to have to find a place to watch it, since I’m a Canuck and we don’t get the SyFy station. We have our own Sci-Fi channel and I’m hoping they’ll have it. Probably not in the hi-def though, which sucks.

John Cho Of Flash Forward And Star Trek Talks About Dying To Be Sulu

flash-forward-tv-review-4In “Flash Forward”, the interesting Sci-Fi show on the ABC television network, John Cho plays a guy named Demetri that for some reason yet unrevealed, did not see his personal future in 6 months time as did the rest of the cast.

AMC’s The Prisoner Finally Gets A Date

the-prisoner-1For some reason, AMC had neglected to give us an actual date when it’s wonderfully confusing psychological drama “The Prisoner”, starring Ian McKellen and Jim Caviezel, would get an actual airing. We’ve been saying Nov. For those that know their month poem, thirty days has November. Well AMC has seen fit to narrow this down for us.

Smallville Clip: The Birth of Metallo

We all know Metallo is coming, and this week’s Friday episode of Smallville will officially introduce the Superman villain to the TV world. Brian Austin Green, formerly of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, will be playing reporter John Corben who becomes Metallo. Here’s a clip featuring, essentially, the “birth” of Metallo.

Two Sneak Peek Clips at the New V Pilot

You can’t help but wonder if ABC is screwing the pooch with their new V show. The network seems to think the show needs “fixing”, and the Interwebs is already abuzz with news of creative delays. This is not good. Bad word of mouth created by conjecture before the show even airs is not something you want to precede your new show.

Get A Sneak Peek At Episode 2 Of Flash Forward

flash-forward-tv-review-3I watched last weeks first episode of “Flash Forward” and I am interested enough to continue my viewage this Thursday. Such are the hypnotic charms of John Cho (Sulu!) and the slightly theatrical Joe Fiennes. Didn’t have quite the punch of “Lost” which “Flash Forward” is thematically based on, but it still catches my eye.

Stephen King’s Colorado Kid Under Assembly

A pile of writers, Scott Shepherd, Lloyd Segan, Shawn Piller, Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn, former vets of King’s “Dead Zone” series are hard at work at 13 episodes of “Haven”, an adaptation of Mr. King’s “Colorado Kid” novella.
