Only The Hot-Pink Cops Can Save Us From The Space Lizards!

Everything about this image, “Rain,” says futuristic noir — except the woman’s insane police outfit. Unbuttoned police shirt over pink bra, pink and white skinny pants, gun belt and badge.

Niiice: Borat’s Homeland Gets A Space Pyramid

THIS Is How You Do A Science Fiction Show About Religion

One of my big worries for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been the tendency to dip too far into religious allegory. But last night’s episode, “Brothers of Nablus?” Totally converted me. I’m now a zealot for the Bible stories in the Terminator universe, thanks to Cameron’s Old-Testament bloodthirstiness and the show’s little twist about…
