Ben Browder on the Case in Noir Web Series Naught for Hire

As a lifelong fan of all things “Farscape”, I consider it my duty to bring to you all things “Farscape”-related, even when they don’t necessarily, well, have anything to do with “Farscape”. But hey, you can’t get any more “Farscape”-related than the casting of the show’s male lead Ben Browder in a new “noir web series” from Paramount Digital called “Naught for Hire”.

30-Second Teaser Trailer for the New Buck Rogers Web Series

I’m not a big fan of Buck Rogers or anything, or at least, I really don’t know his history. But I am a pretty big fan of the old Gil Gerard TV show “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century” when it ran for a few years in the late ’70s and early ’80s. That show was pretty cool, and I loved it as a child. (Or maybe it was all about Erin Gray? Could be, could be…) But it apparently diverted quite a bit from the original source material, which isn’t a surprise. Hard to be faithful when you’ve got a lot of episodes to fill up for a given TV year. In any case, someone name James Cawley is bringing the property back to its roots with a new series of web episodes. Check out a teaser trailer for it below.

Felicia Day’s Do you Wanna Date my Avatar Music Video

Who knew Dr. Horrible’s main squeeze Penny could get so sexy? If you’re a fan of Joss Whedon’s impossibly cool “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog ” web series, check out Penny herself (aka Felicia Day) in a music video called “Do you Wanna Date my Avatar”.

A Look at Amanda Tapping’s Sanctuary

If you don’t know the name Amanda Tapping, then you’re probably reading the wrong site. That having been said, Amanda Tapping has a new sci-fi/horror series coming out called “Sanctuary”, which I didn’t know about until someone asked her about it in an interview being hosted over at The Sci Fi World. (You can download the full interview by clicking here. BTW: It does look like Amanda WILL be replacing the Weir character on “Stargate: Atlantis” after all, news I didn’t know until now.) But anyways, back to “Sanctuary”…
