Upgrade Your Insides With Kid Parts Or Just Wait For Your French Clone Replacement

This week, we’re picking out the standouts from Fantasiafest 2009, including Canary (a film about futuristic organ market), a retro astronaut picture and a new clone feature. Fantasia has already started in Montreal with a load of fascinating new shorts. I’m quite interested in the modern day fairytale White Radishes amongst others but, for now,…

Say Goodbye To Your Favorite Heroes

Despite the success that they’ve brought their publisher, it seems as if DC Comics is very eager to celebrate the end of both Superman and Batman, given the care and attention lavished on two hardcover goodbyes to the characters. To be fair, the new “deluxe editions” of Superman: Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow…

Syfy’s New Flagships Recycle Old Favorites

Syfy is back, now with “Y”s, vying even harder for your attention. But the network’s name isn’t the only thing that has been re-purposed; its new staple shows seem oddly familiar. Why is Syfy so unapologetically recycling old television? Syfy is trying to impress us with its new look and new shows, like a small-town…

This Is A Disaster: Less Impressive Edition

OHHHHH, it’s spelled Bentl-E-y!!! Well now I know. I want to thank all of you for your many compliments on my 2012 video last week and for kicking it all over the internet. Despite getting over 400k views, getting mentioned by Olivia Munn, and being called a racist, the best was hearing Mother Dean say…

Which Show Would Give SyFy The Space Opera They Deserve?

When Meredith spoke with Syfy president David Howe this week, he revealed that the newly-rebranded network was looking for a new space opera to replace BSG. But considering their love of remakes, why not just use an old one? https://gizmodo.com/syfy-seeks-the-next-big-space-opera-to-replace-bsg-and-5309356 We already know that Syfy is working on reboots for both Alien Nation and Quantum…

Torchwood: Better Than Ever?

Torchwood: Children Of Earth has just finished its British run with more viewers and critical acclaim than ever. We’re saving our in-depth spoilery reviews for the US showing (starting) June 20th, but here’s an open thread for your spoilery commentary.

New BSG Toaster More Toaster-Like

The story of Battlestar Galactica may be finished, but the merchandising potential will continue forever… even if the products seem a little familiar. For example: A new version of last year’s Cylon Toaster, but new(ish) and improved! This year’s SyFy San Diego Comic-Con limited edition exclusive*? A new Battlestar Galactica toaster with added LED eye…

Science Fiction’s Greatest Legal Minds – Revealed!

If the countless works of science fiction can agree on one thing, it’s that the future isn’t perfect. And, on the rare occasion when disputes can’t be solved with an epic starship battle, it’s time to bring in the lawyers. I think there’s an argument to be made that lawyers are underrepresented in science fiction,…

Pegg And Frost Explain All About Paul… And Tea

If you refuse to believe anything we’ve told you about Simon Pegg and Nick Frost‘s new nerdbait movie Paul, then they’re ready to explain it all for you themselves in this new behind-the-scenes introductory video. Of course, if this purely informational videoblog – or "vlog," as the kids call them – doesn’t tell you all…

John Wayne Resurrected By Sci-Fi Movie

The Duke alive again for science fiction? It may sound strange, but it’s true; John Wayne‘s last released performance, in a 1984 movie using footage shot before his death, is finally about to be made available to the public. The movie, titled “Thunder Riders of the Golden West,” was made 25 years ago by Dave…

Cyborg Insects Could Save Your Life

It sounds like the oddest conspiracy theory ever, but amazingly, the Pentagon is behind a plan to turn crickets, cicadas and katydids into cyborg chemical detectors to help protect soldiers from chemical attacks. Your tax dollars at mad science work? New Scientist reports that Pentagon-backed scientists are planning to implant electronics in insects that will…

Tron Reboots Into Online Sitcom

Can’t wait until Comic-Con to get your first taste of brand new Tron? Salvation is at hand with the first episode of Tron Reboot, which may end up being a more true sequel to the original movie than Disney’s version. We don’t know who is behind Reboot, but we’re definitely going to tune in again…

Chuck vs. The Third Season

Fans who saved Chuck for another season are now wondering what lies ahead for the denizens of the Buy More. Tight-lipped producers are hinting at revealing some secrets at San Diego Comic-Con, but here’s what we want to hear. After the game-changing events of last season’s finale, fans that campaigned so hard to save their…

Torchwood Was Amazing, But What Happens Next?

Torchwood’s five-day miniseries, “Children Of Earth,” is a new classic. By any measure, the five-day “event” format was a triumph. But does that mean Torchwood should have more “event” miniseries? Probably not. Relatively vague spoilers ahead. “Children Of Earth” was a huge experiment, format-wise: instead of doing a regular series of 13 episodes, the show…

Is Superman Really Damaged Goods?

One of the more troubling things to come out of the Siegel/Warners/DC lawsuit decision this week was the feeling that everyone involved in creating Superman stories has already decided that the character is broken. Is Superman’s failure a self-fulfilling prophecy? Perhaps the most damning part of the decision document was the revelation that executives at…

Devastating Concept Art Constructs Villain

If Revenge of The Fallen’s Devastator looks more like CGI trickery than a convincing combination of construction vehicles, perhaps this piece of concept art showing what goes where will explain the thinking behind the even-more-giant Transformer. [Seibertron.com]

New NASA Boss: Time To Put Up Or Shut Up

We may not have proof that new NASA chief nominee Charles Bolden is definitely the man for the job, but in his opening statements to the Senate Committee meeting recently, he did his best to convince us. In his opening statement to the Committee, Bolden described a NASA that had lost its way and needed…

Is Britain Too Meek For Sci-Fi TV?

As Torchwood finishes its acclaimed Children of Earth miniseries, one British critic declares that its success is an aberration for a country that has consistently failed to produce any good science fiction television whatsoever. And yes, he’s including Doctor Who. Admittedly, Patrick West may shoot himself and/or his argument in the foot with his first…

Will Old Spock Reappear In The Next Trek Movie?

Think that Leonard Nimoy was in JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek as a way of appeasing old fans and passing the torch onto the new cast, only to never be seen again? Think again: Nimoy is open to reprising the character. Talking to SciFi Wire, Nimoy hinted that, depending on what the writers end up planning,…
