Season 10 of Smallville = the birth of Superman, Man of Adorable Character Revelations

Friday’s episode of Smallville, “Isis,” was a villain-of-the-week tale punctuated by moments of intense cuteness. Smallville is at its best with a little levity, but man, they are layering on the love. Also, Green Arrow got his own breakfast cereal! Indeed, love was the message of last night’s Smallville. There was a lot of exposition…

OK, as far as inadvertent weather forecast genitalia goes, it really doesn’t get much better than this. Does this guy realize it? Do the producers realize it? We’ll never know for sure. In any event, good work, Texas/Mexico border. [TheInternetToday]

Bad news for Caprica: Syfy making another BSG prequel

Are there any gaps in the life story of William Adama you’re dying to fill? Because Syfy has got your back.

The Big Networks’ Big Google TV Fear

Google TV, at least theoretically, conceptually erases the distinction between the web and television as a medium for video. It’s all video, wherever it comes from. For broadcasters, that’s scary! So ABC, CBS and NBC’s websites are blocking Google TV. If you go to one of their websites to try to watch a full-length show,…

The awesomest moments from this week’s Sarah Jane Adventures!

Doctor Who’s most reliably awesome spin-off had almost everything this week: android versions of Agent Smith, silly UFO nuts, and alien genocide. Most of all, it had bad-ass Clyde Langer. Here are our five favorite moments. Spoilers ahead. So the first story of Sarah Jane Adventures season one was a bit of a letdown —…

South Park to Inception: just because it’s complicated doesn’t mean it’s cool

South Park manages to slip in an Inception spoof right under the wire. While we agree that an overly complex plot does not necessarily make something interesting, we’re much more impressed that they managed to fit Freddy Krueger in. Here’s a particularly profound clip from the mayhem: Click to view Insheeption Tags: SOUTH PARKStan Marsh,Mr.…

Sam Raimi directing a Day of the Triffids remake?

A new Day of the Triffids movie sounds like a dreadful idea — unless it’s true that Sam Raimi is directing. Raimi and Mandate Pictures paid seven figures for the film rights, so it sounds like he’s serious about this. According to Deadline, Raimi is really eager to direct this remake, because the original film…

SGU breaks open the space drama we’ve been waiting for

On Caprica, there are too many Zoes and not enough Adamas

In last night’s Caprica episode, “Things We Lock Away,” Zoe’s tangled virtual identity got a lot more tangled than ever. And the Graystones are eclipsing the Adamas in a disappointing way. Spoilers ahead! I fear we may have a Head Zoe on our hands. Though this episode had a lot of greatness, let’s start with…

One big concern about AMC’s Walking Dead television series is the gore. How do you make a zombie movie on TV, and keep the blood intact?

No Ordinary Family doesn’t understand how football works

Tonight’s No Ordinary Family gave us the most ridiculous football story ever told, a mild meditation on what it means to be a vigilante, and a harsh lesson in the dark side of mind-reading. But mostly ridiculous, ridiculous football. “No Ordinary Vigilante” was, once again, a decently entertaining but flawed hour of television. I’m still…

On The Event, hardened assassins are scared of internet memes

Last night on The Event, internet memes were super scary and all the conspiracies turned out to be muddled plans that made no sense.
