In this piece, reposted from ComicMix, Ostrander takes issue with one aspect of the recent Doctor…

Hands On: Sony’s HMZ-T1 Is an Amazing OLED 3DTV. That You Wear On Your Head.

Sony’s new 720p OLED 3DTV with 5.1 virtual surround has a 150-inch screen-equivalent and costs $800. But it weighs less than a pound. That’s because it’s worn on your face. It looks crazynerdo; you’re going to want one. Personal TVs are uniformly dorky. I’ve tried several, and all—I mean all of them—are the kind of…

Warehouse 13‘s Janeway and Bering are our new favorite action duo

We thought we’d never get another pairing to replace Myka Bering and H.G. Wells, but Warehouse 13 has come through again. The team-up of Kate Mulgrew’s regent, Jane, with Myka Bering was utterly perfect — and that’s before they started joking about being Thema and Louise. Spoilers ahead… I would seriously watch a few episodes…

On Eureka, the past is a dangerous place

Yesterday’s Eureka found our heroes confronting their pasts. For most, these flashbacks were the final test for the Astraeus mission. For Carter, it involved stopping Wallace Shawn as he tried to reenact all the sheriff’s greatest, most dangerous moments. “This One Time at Space Camp…” let us delve deeper into some of the characters’ pasts,…

The Funniest Moment from MTV’s Undead Cop Show Death Valley

Last night MTV premiered its supernatual cop show Death Valley in which a camera crew follows an Undead Task Force as they try and clean up the streets from zombies vampires and werewolves. This is the funniest moment. This clip says it all — Death Valley (while pretty well shot for a shaky-cam series) was…

True Blood lets the leather-jacketed, supernatural war of Louisiana begin!

This week on True Blood, we got our favorite vampire back, FINALLY. But have Sookie’s underbits damaged his brain for good? Possibly, only time will tell!

Tailgating Might Actually Make Sense with DISH’s Tailgater Antenna

I never got tailgating sports events if you don’t actually have tickets to the game. Why not just stay home and grill with friends or go to a bar? Still, it’s a pretty big deal ’round some parts, and with DISH’s super-portable satellite, it might not suck as much. The Tailgater is a 10-pound box…

She deconstructs feminist writer Sady Doyle’s critiques of Martin’s narrative with amazing elegance, and along the way she also delivers a great lesson in how to…

Doctor Who and the One Woman the Doctor Can’t Screw Up

Tonight’s Doctor Who episode brought back an idea that Russell T. Davies used to play with a lot: the Doctor inevitably ruins his companions. In Davies’ version, it was that the Doctor winds up turning them into weapons against ultimate evil. For Moffat, it’s perhaps more complicated. In any case, “Let’s Kill Hitler” includes the…
