Dollhouse Is Safe… Ish

Despite disappointing ratings, Fox want you to know that they really will show all of the episodes of Dollhouse’s first season. Even though there may be some pre-emption happening at some point. Fansite Dollverse has gotten confirmation from Fox that the remaining six episodes of Joss Whedon’s mindwipe drama will air on April 3rd, 10th,…

The Naked Now-Ish

When Joss Whedon went around telling everyone that the March 20 and April 3 episodes of Dollhouse were the ones to watch, I wondered what that meant about last night’s installment. Now we know. Spoilers! Last night’s episode, “Echoes,” wasn’t completely terrible – it was still better, for my money, than the tube-top-wearing backup singer…

Lost’s Top Secret Finale Twist Will Involve Diapers. Or Pregnant Jack.

Lost’s season finale, now filming, involves a plot twist so diabolical, there are a dozen different “code words” for it. But judging from new set pics, it’ll be wet and well-armed. Spoilers definitely ahead. Last year’s finale had a gimmick code-named “Frozen Donkey Wheel” by producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof – which turned out…

Lost’s Boone To Give Edward Cullen A Run For His Money

The CW’s new teen drama Vampire Diaries has picked up Ian Somerhalder as its smug Chuck Bass vampire – take that, Twilight. You have to admit, the one thing the CW knows how to do is build a popular teen drama. Now that they are jumping on the vampire bandwagon, with the good-looking Somerhalder. I…

Is The Bible The New Comic Books?

Never mind religion in Battlestar Galactica – is Christianity becoming the new trend for genre entertainment? While NBC’s Kings retells the story of King David, American Jesus brings Jesus back for a whole new audience.

Better Off Ted’s Nerds Are Still Funnier Than The Pretty Kids

Better Off Ted has certainly hit its stride with geeky characters Lem and Phil. While Portia de Rossi’s wit is slowly catching up, it’s the scientists who carry this endearing little sitcom. This week, Lem addressed his anger at Phil for allowing Veridian Dynamics to freeze him for one year (thankfully, he was accidentally thawed…

Sayid Jarrah, Natural Born Killer?

Oh, Sayid. You’ve done a very bad thing-or is it a very good thing? Oh, Lost, you’ve messed with my mind yet again. Spoilers ahoy! Despite a few awkward moments (*cough*love triangle*cough*), “He’s Our You” was a bang-up episode, to say the least. I think I was about young Ben’s age when I read A…

Cartoon Network Grows Up, Abandons Cartoons

Is Cartoon Network about to head the way of the Sci Fi Channel? More than half of the shows for next season aren’t cartoons… but that doesn’t mean that they won’t be awesome.

Can a Rebel Make Heroes Unbarftastic Again?

On Monday night’s superhero soap opera Heroes, something astonishing happened.

5 Things I Won’t Miss About BSG

I admit it; I was blown away by Battlestar Galactica’s almost-perfect series finale. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some things that I won’t miss about the show. Spoilers! Popularizing The Word “Frak” Yes, yes. It’s like “fuck” but in space. We get it already. “Frak” has become nerd cliche by this point, overused…
