On Heroes, There Is Always Time For Half-Naked Female Bonding

Last night’s episode of Heroes explained a lot of important things, like how half-naked superpowered girls bond. Also, how to get back together with your wife after a mutant steals your body! Plus carnie fashion and dirt powers! Spoilers ahead. What I like about Heroes is that the writers are never afraid to give us…

Borat and Bruno director Larry Charles is teaming with Terminator Salvation’s McG for a “prototype” television show about fanboys who decide to continue their favorite SF TV show themselves, after it gets cancelled.

6 Things The New “Prisoner” Changed For The Worse

The Prisoner used its premise of a spy trapped in an idyllic, but oppressive, village to ask questions about individuality in a conformist, overly processed society. Here are six ways last night’s remake throws away that rich premise. Spoilers below… So now that the first two hours of AMC’s remake of The Prisoner have already…

At Last, Doctor Who’s Lonely God Goes Too Far

When Russell T. Davies’ revamp of Doctor Who launched in 2005, we were promised that the Doctor’s two hearts meant his heart could be broken twice as often. With last night’s “Waters Of Mars,” we finally see what that meant. This recap contains maximum spoilers for last night’s Doctor Who. If you’re waiting to watch…

“He Got Past The Diamond Dogs?”

Last night’s Venture Bros brought even more storytelling that’s as dense with show mythology as it is with jokes, but the highlight may have been the return of David Bowie, ineptly trying to keep his criminal overlord identity secret. “Revenge Society” kept up the show’s obsession with music; not only do we now know that…

Dragon Movies, Alien Marathons And Dying Pornstars Oh My!

You’d be forgiven for thinking that we weren’t in the middle of sweeps right now, looking at this week’s TV line-up. Where’s the razzle and/or the dazzle? Who’s bringing the excitement? Oh, wait: House is treating a pornstar. Never mind. Monday The week starts off softly, with nothing worth watching until 8 p.m., when you…

Killing Off Everyone On SGU Was A Great Idea

What an episode, what a night. On the one hand we’ve got team adventures, new planets, monsters and time travel. On the other hand it was a Kino-centric episode. Here’s what we thought about the Back To The Future SGU. With a flurry of zaps and one terrible brown tone filter, we’re off and watching…

It’s Not Too Late To Escape From “The Prisoner”

The remake of the 1960s’ trippiest program, The Prisoner, starts airing tonight — and instead of an acid trip, it feels like you’ve taken one of those psychoactive drugs that makes time slow almost to a halt. I won’t provide any spoilers for The Prisoner 2009 here — we’ll save those for tomorrow — but…

On Supernatural, the Meta Outweighed the Mega

Thursday night’s Supernatural, “The Real Ghostbusters,” continued the meta arc that has been developing (possibly too much) this season. The brothers find themselves at a Supernatural fan convention, complete with Wincest references and LARPing. And, of course, a real ghost. Like the episode two weeks ago, where the Winchesters wander through a TV show hell,…

Learn Sign Language With Sanctuary’s Creature from the Black Lagoon

Bigfoot, a werewolf, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon walk into an episode of Sanctuary, and what do they do? Mostly, they trade sign language, perform mundane medical procedures, and wait for the episode’s true villain to emerge. I’m not sure what I could have hoped for from this classic monster match-up — certainly…

Is Clone Wars One Big Advertisement For The Dark Side?

How Stargate Universe Can Win Back Your Love

Tonight’s SGU is being heralded as a cast favorite. Ironically, it’s the episode where everyone on Destiny dies, which should make some Gater-haters happy. Still, we think there’s a lot good in this series; it just needs a few tweaks. Robert Carlyle, Ming-Na and David Blue claim it’s their mind-blowing favorite. But can it win…
