Non-Erotic Mind Control Stories On Heroes

It’s another night of watching Heroes and blogging at the same time. Can things get any worse than they were last week? No they can’t – because I have reefer, port, and chocolate chip cookies.

5 Reasons Caprica Is The Season’s Most Promising New SF Series

This Friday brings the first episode of Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica, a noir-scifi drama set on the planet Caprica 58 years before the cylons nuke it into oblivion.

Supernatural And Smallville Renewed — But Is There Any Place Left For Them To Go?

Cinemaspy is reporting that the CW has renewed both Supernatural and Smallville for one more season each. In the case of Smallville, presumably this means more baby steps towards Clark becoming Superman — maybe next year, he’ll put on red boots but keep the all-black ensemble otherwise? But after Eric Kripke was so outspoken about…

TV’s Human Target Is A Poor Stand-In For The Real Thing

Last week, DC Comics released a collection of Peter Milligan’s Human Target comics to promote the new Fox television series it’s the basis for. This may have been a very bad decision… for the show.

On Fringe, Confirmation Of A Dark Secret We Suspected All Along

On Thursday night’s Fringe, called “What Lies Below,” we were introduced to an ancient supervirus – and learned Walter’s darkest secret. This episode was clearly a tip of the hat to X-Files.

How To Make NBC’s Loss Your Gain

NBC’s late night slaughter/shuffle may have been a publicity black eye for the broadcaster, public douche outing for Jay Leno and humiliating public execution for Conan O’Brien, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an opportunity for you, wannabe broadcaster. The dropping of Jay Leno’s five-nights-a-week prime time chat show means that NBC suddenly had five…

On Supernatural, The Winchester Brothers Really Are Crazy

Last night’s Supernatural, called “Sam, Interrupted,” gave us a monster of the week whose role was mostly to remind us how completely, batshit insane the Apocalypse-chasing Winchester brothers lives are.
