So sayeth Ausiello, and he’s upped the ante to 26 glorious episodes! Free Slurm for everyone! (Head on over to antiformat.org to see the image in full glory.)
Ray Park officially on board for Heroes
After breaking the news that the Darth Maul actor was in negotiations last week, Michael Ausiello confirms that Park is a done deal for a “sizeable arc” on next season’s Heroes.
Rumor: Futurama lives?!?!
Collider.com is reporting that Comedy Central has placed a 13 episode order for the best science fiction cartoon ever. I hope to Space Pope that it’s true. (via)
Video: Stephen Colbert hyped for Death Star
On Wednesday, Stephen Colbert celebrated America’s latest scientific development: A super laser that can “focus 192 laser beams on a small point, generating temperatures and pressures that exist at cores of stars or giant planets.” Sound familiar? See The Colbert Report clip beneath the cut. Continue reading “Video: Stephen Colbert hyped for Death Star”
Ray Park heading to Heroes?
Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello is reporting that Ray Park – you’ll remember him as Darth Maul – is in talks to join NBC’s Heroes for a “sizeable arc” next series.
Cheap shots: ‘Han Solo P.I.’
Irony! A mashup with Magnum P.I., complete with a side-by-side comparison beneath the cut. Continue reading “Cheap shots: ‘Han Solo P.I.’”
The catchup: Links from Twitter
Here are some of the things I’ve micro-blogged over @clubjade in the last week or so.
Sci-fi raver chic, or… Eventually, some fan costumer is going to get their hands on this fiber-optic fabric, and we’re going to be seeing walking holograms at cons.
My god! “Star Trek’s entire history in all media over the last four decades has been nothing but revisions and reboots. ” And so it is. Fascinating stuff… And very familiar.
Speaking of a cycle of never-ending reboots… The companion for the new Doctor Who was announced last week. Quote of the hour: “…I feel like I’m going to be watching Doctor Nine Oh Who One Oh.”
For my peeps. Jezebel takes the TV teen queens of the early 90’s head to head. Blossom or Clarissa?
Geek decor. Twenty brilliant bookcases.
Star Trek vs. Star Wars yet again
The Force-Cast takes on the latest hot topic with a roundtable comparing sci-fi’s two biggest fish. Joining the usual gang is Rebelscum’s Jovial Jay and former Trek and Wars fan club president Dan Madsen.
On that note, does anyone have any idea why the SciFi Channel isn’t rerunning the hell out of the original series? I was feeling the urge to DVR some TOS last night, and spent about five minutes scrolling through a week’s worth of schedule… And the only Trek I could find was Enterprise. (Poking around online shows some TNG on Friday, but nothing but that and Enterprise through most of June.)
This is why you fail, SciFi. (It’s still SciFi until July 7, by George!) I’ll get my fix – I’m pretty sure the local NBC affiliate runs it at odd hours of the night – but I’m just boggled by SciFi’s lack of action here.
Trek’s Orci talks reboots with StarWars.com
Bonnie talks to Star Trek co-screenwriter Roberto Orci about the movie, the influence of Star Wars, and Fringe. Here’s what he has to say about rebooting Star Wars
I’d love to go back to the time in between the movies A New Hope through Return of the Jedi, and see other planets and the people who live on them, and how they see the war like we’re following the war in Iraq. It would be interesting to see other people respond to finding out there’s a base on Bespin.
Ehh. Isn’t one (well, two) Clone Wars enough? Even if one does take the concept to the OT, it just sounds like filler to me.
Gate Geek – A lil’ of this, a lil’ of that
It’s me! The world’s worst internet reporter catching up, yet again, with the news. Let’s just do this quickly, shall we?
- Stargate Atlantis Season 5 is out June 30th with tons of goodies
- The Atlantis movie has a name and the early stages of a script
- Children of the Gods – Final Cut is out July 21st
The more techno-savvy cast of Stargate Universe have been doing what they can to generate enthusiasm. (And I’m starting to see the tides turning, all you Stargate skeptics!)
- David Blue is posting pictures and Twittering away
- Brian J Smith is Twittering in between insane workouts that make him puke
- Even actors from other incarnations of SG are Twittering about how cool it is after getting sneak previews
- Joe Mallozzi is also blogging on the SciFi website
It will be good. I have faith.
