The Great Futurama X-Men Mash-Up

In this epic mashup by gottabecarl, the Futuramaverse crosses streams with the X-menverse. Not to ruin the effect with lowly geek pedantry, but aside from points regarding Fry’s fiery trichosis, shouldn’t Leela be Cyclops? [deviantart-full rez via scifiwire]

Sony LCD 3DTV Gets Disappointing First Look

Gary Merson at HD Guru has seen Sony’s new KDL-55HX800 LCD 3DTV live and in person. His first take? Even a slight tilt of the head makes you see double and lose the 3D effect. Uh oh. Update: Apparently Merson was looking at a preproduction unit, and there’s no way to be sure how they’ll…

Gene Roddenberry’s 1973 letter: Star Trek was about people, not hardware

A 1973 letter from Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry to a fan is worth reading. He explains that Trek had no “magic formula” other than focusing on people. And Spock looked like the Devil because it was “provocative to women.”

Could NBC’s “The Event” actually be a decent TV show?

Three new promos for NBC’s mysteries-within-wheels-within-cheese show The Event are making me get my hopes up. It’s got the paranoia and intrigue, but more than that, it seems like this show is actually going to move. So the three new promos showcase the fact that there are three “events” that are not The Event. One…

In praise of seat-of-the-pants storytelling

People act like the worst accusation you can hurl at storytellers is “They made it up as they went along.” As if having a Master Plan is the same as good storytelling. In fact, it’s frequently the other way around. Often the best storytelling is improvisational, like jazz or chess. Whether you’re talking about books,…
