K-9 Series Premiere Goes Up Against Doctor Who’s Return

The not-at-all ill-advised K-9 series has announced the date of its UK and Australia premiere. The show debuts Saturday, April 3 – which just happens to be when an obscure little science fiction show called Doctor Who makes its return. https://gizmodo.com/whenever-theres-a-bad-smell-blame-the-dog-indeed-5195913 http://io9.com/5373959/k+9-series-looks-set-to-ruin-whos-winning-streak The new K-9 children’s show – which I’m sure the BBC would appreciate…

If You Need A Good Lawyer, Hire A Giant Baby

Last night’s episode of Ugly Americans – “An American Werewolf In America” – expanded the show’s weird NYC universe with unruly lycanthropes, exploding magic lions, wizard open mic nights, and yes, a Brobdingnagian toddler attorney. In the second episode of Ugly Americans, the show doled out three interlocking story arcs: social worker Mark Lilly’s misadventures…

Scott Wolf Is Glad He’s Not Morena Baccarin’s Media Whore

Now that Gaius Baltar is gone, there’s only one sleazy traitor to humanity on television: Chad Decker, the blow-dried newsman who’s Anna’s bitch on V. But Chad was originally way more of a whore, actor Scott Wolf tells us. Back when the V pilot was still in production, we had a chance to read part…

Paul W.S. Anderson’s Buck Rogers Should Be Postponed Until The 25th Century

Video-game movie mastermind Paul W.S. Anderson will be directing Buck Rogers, the movie. Thank goodness the screenplay was penned by the Iron Man scribes. But it’s still likely to be a disaster of epic proportions. According to Variety, the basic bare minimum premise of Buck Rogers will stay the same for Anderson’s film. The screenplay…

When Keeping It Skeptical In Science Fiction Goes Wrong

A defining thread of modern scientific thought is skepticism, the tendency to question accepted ideas until evidence is found to confirm or reject them. But what do skeptics do in worlds of magic, aliens, and other matters fantastic? Science fiction authors often face a difficult task in incorporating skepticism into their works. After all, they’re…

Daddy Is A Bastard, And V-World Goes Fellini On “Caprica”

Friday’s Caprica episode, “Ghost In The Machine,” focused entirely on the twisted things that men will do for their cyber-daughters – and to them. It was probably the most disturbing episode yet. And those surreal videogame sequences were completely insane. This episode did something that most TV SF does badly: It went deep into the…

Hillcrest Labs Pairs Kylo “TV Browser” with Motion-Sensing Loop Pointer

Remember the Loop? It was an accelerometer-equipped remote for media centers that arrived last June. It worked pretty well.

When Happy Endings Seem Important, After All

Here’s my terrible, heretical admission about the last season of Lost: I enjoy the flash-sideways. No, wait, that’s not it. What I meant to say was: I don’t care if they answer all of the questions about mythology or not. I can feel your stares of disdain from here, but they won’t change my mind.…
