If you’ve seen a lot of science fiction movies about life outside the earth, then you’re already aware that aliens are not that friendly. Because underneath their breathtaking exterior and gracious persona is a hidden agenda that is contrary to their promise of peace.  V , Scott Peters’...

If you’re one of those Heroes fans who have suddenly lost interest in the show, then it’s understandable for you to think that this NBC series will wrap up after season 4. And while ratings play a huge part of the show’s longevity, it’s not all about the numbers. You can’t...

The fact that Dollhouse is returning for its second season in less than a month makes me grin already.  The fact that it’s pretty much getting down to business when the new episodes start airing is threatening to change my grin to a toothy smile. Sure, suddenly the stakes for the show have...

It looks like Heroes is getting more wicked this season. Robert Knepper, who infamously stirred trouble as T-Bag on Prison Break , has just gotten a promotion on the NBC science fiction drama even though the fourth season hasn’t started yet. According to the Hollywood Reporter , the 50-year-old...

Are you sick and tired of The Company?  The infamous organization whose primary purpose is to identify, monitor and study those individuals with special abilities has played an integral part of the plot since the beginning of Heroes. As the science fiction drama heads to the fourth season, however,...

Filed under: Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows, Programming, Reality-Free, Dollhouse It is going to be an uphill battle to success for Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. One defining factor in the quality of support that a network gives its programs is the impressiveness of the press kit it releases for the...

When the folks at The Daily Show announced that they were going to do a habitable broadcast from Washington on Inauguration Day, I’m certain a lot of public envisioned Jon Stewart behind a desk in some D.C.-area college auditorium, with up-to-the-minute field reports and possibly even a brief...

That zany Cylon god just answered some lucky fanboy’s prayers. Showtime is developing Syns, a sci-fi drama about a world in which humans create synthetic life forms for “various reasons.” Since Showtime is the pay cable network that gave us Californication, The L Word and Debbie Does...

These have been submitted, and they have my approval. Publishing company Walker & Co. is getting together with the estate of Rod Serling and the Savannah College of Art & Design to produce several graphic novels that will be based on the scripts of the original Twilight Zone series. The books...

In an interview with StarWars.com (yeah, I go there) former Buffy the Vampire Slayer baddie James Marsters talks about his new character, Captain Argyus, who he voices on tonight’s ep of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But, here’s the interesting news: Marsters says George Lucas once considered...

Dollhouse star Eliza Dushku is trying to calm fans’ worries about the show’s Friday night death slot and the fact that Fox seems to have no faith in the show and really, really wants to form Joss Whedon fans cry. It’s not working for me. Here’s how she defended the Friday night...

Even before I caught Twilight on the big screen, I was comparing it to Roswell, the great teen sci-fi/romance series that aired on The WB (and later The CW) from 1999-2002. The Twilight ads and trailers seemed to tell the same story Roswell told more than nine years ago: A sensitive girl is saved by...

Robert Llewelyn, best known to Red Dwarf fans as the android Kryten, has confessed on KTSC-TV in Seattle that the BBC has commissioned a one-hour special of Red Dwarf to film in October. For those keeping track, Red Dwarf hasn’t been on television since 1999. This may be a mistake. On one hand,...

There’s a moment in one of the extras on the Witchblade DVD set where Peter Mensah, who played Hector Mobius, says that the show was ahead of its duration. Now, I tend to think most citizens involved in a project of the size and scope of Witchblade would say something similar. In that case though,...

It’s taken a couple years, as we first posted about the series in August 2006, but Sam Raimi’s adaptation of the Terry Goodkind books will finally be beaming into our televisions the weekend of November 1, 2008. That’s about as specific as anyone can be, considering that is a syndicated...

Having grown up in a Star Trek household from way back, I’m fairly familiar with a lot of the catch phrases from the original series, which ran from 1966 to 1969. Here are six that still construct their way into conversation around here: 1. “Beam me up, Scotty.” Gracing bumper stickers...

We’ve kind of been conditioned to have lowered expectations when a TV show makes the jump to the big screen. It’s generally an iffy proposition at best. For every Mission Impossible, The Fugitive, or The Untouchables there is a Bewitched, Wild Wild West, or Starsky & Hutch. With that...

Can you take in the eerie music fitting louder and louder? That’s the sound of the X-Files film being one step closer to being released on the big screens that summer (more than likely on July 25)! Being an X-Files and a spoilers fan, I jumped up and down a few times while humming the show’s...

Aint It Cool posted an interview with Kenneth Johnson, the creator and writer of the V television mini-series from 1983. He has recently released a sequel book called V: The moment Generation (available on Amazon here). The most interesting facts to come out of the conversation with Johnson is that...
