Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
This one is fantastic (I can’t help it, I love Florence and the Machine) with a lot of new scenes (Tyrion in armor! The ‘ashes’ line!) I have to say I really appreciate that the TV series is rounding out Cersei.
Also noteworthy: The Simpsons’ couch gag last night spoofed the Game of Thrones opening titles.
MY EMOTIONS! Finally, an official trailer for the long-awaited, much-anticipated followup to Avatar: The Last Airbender. There’s still no release date, but certainly a trailer bodes well for something soon..
Even co-creator Bryan Konietzko says so!
Well, sort of. Watch it for the Stewart facepalm! (via)
Sunday TV has been sucking this season: I need GoT back. (Sorry, Once Upon A Time.) Is it April yet?
Straight out of HBO’s TCA session is the premiere date for the second season of Game of Thrones: April 1st. Not soon enough!
William Shatner responds to George Takei’s overtures of Star Peace: By demanding “retribution.” Vaguely. Maybe it’s all part of his new one-man show.
Entertainment Weekly got the exclusive side-by-side comparison video on the upcoming transfer of Star Trek: The Next Generation to high definition. Remember how poor the show, especially the first season, appears now in re-runs? Well, the show is being cleaned up for a Blu-ray release later this year, for the 25th anniversary of the show, with the original film being recut and remastered for HD – no more videotape quality.
Before the full show’s Blu-ray release, CBS Home Video will be teasing fans with the early Blu-ray release pack , The Next Generation – The Next Level, which will contain three favorite episodes: the show’s two-hour premiere, ‘Encounter at Farpoint’, season three’s ‘Sins of the Father’ and season five’s ‘The Inner Light’. Get more details and see the trailer for the remastered sampler (yup, they made a trailer!) at startrek.com.
College Humor takes the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica TV series and re-re-imagines it as a Nintendo style role playing game. Watch all four seasons condensed into this hilarious video (Obviously, it contains spoilers!).
Eureka and Warehouse 13 are returning for another round of holiday warm fuzzy episodes tonight on Syfy, and Haven is joining them with its first Christmas episode as well. Eureka ends up animated (in multiple styles from stopmotion to anime, no less) with snowman ninjas, polar bears, and more. Warehouse 13 gives agent Pete Lattimer the It’s a Wonderful Life treatment (Don’t worry about how this fits with the season 3 ending!). And Christmas comes to the weird town of Haven — in the middle of summer.
And being Syfy, there’s also some holiday specials from their other staples: Ghost Hunters on December 7, and an original movie on December 10: Snowmageddon. Over Christmas, the channel will be running marathons of several shows, including Merlin and Being Human, while they will ring in 2012 with their annual marathon of Twilight Zone.
