Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Ah, don’t you just love the smell of a new TV season?
There be some spoilery (yet oh, so intriguing) tidbits on Watch with Kristin‘s weekly spoiler chat about returning shows Heroes Smallville and Supernatural.
Speaking of Heroes, TV Guide is also offering up a bit of a sneak peek into the sexy of Season 3. (Hey, if we can get more shirtless Mohinder? I am all for it.)
As for the new shows, JJ Abrams talks to them about Fringe and a little film he’s doing for the Trek franchise.
Firefly and Dr. Horrible‘s Nathan Fillion has had his new series picked up. Not sci-fi, but we wish him luck, all the same. (And could we get a little shirtless action there, too?)
Yup. Smells like a new season!
Four more character shots were revealed at VegasCon ’08: Our first official look at Sulu (John Choo,) Scotty (Simon Pegg,) Chekov (Anton Yelchin) and McCoy (Karl Urban.) Like the Comic-Con posters, the four come together in the shape of the delta emblem. Trekmovie also reports that a screening of the movie’s first cut went very well.
The cover story of the latest EW features Watchman, the adaptation of the classic graphic novel whose trailer debuted yesterday. Also in the issue? ComicCon giveaways for JJ Abrams’ Star Trek, four posters that unite to form a one-sheet – and feature our first official look at some of the cast. Also in their SDCC slideshow: Peeks at Dollhouse, Terminator Salvation, an Ender’s Game comic, and Fringe.
I never had a chance to check out the Star Trek Experience in Vegas, and now it looks like I never will. While the original mission was to go where no man (no one?) had gone before, it now appears it’s just….going.
TFN points us towards Slippery Brick’s list of 11 awesome geek-themed art cars. There are several Star Wars vehicles featured, some of which are familiar (Shawn Crosby’s H-Wing Carfighter) and some which aren’t, like the Jawa Sandcrawler above.
This may just be the slashiest Star Trek fanvid since ‘Closer’. (Well, maybe not. Still, it’s pretty slashy.)
To celebrate (!?) the ending of this very eventful TV season, EW counts down 20 of their favorite season finales. Plenty of genre shows make the cut, including Star Trek: TNG, Farscape, Alias, The X-Files and Buffy (above.)
Did your favorite make the list? (IMO: Both Alias and The X-Files had better finales than the ones they chose.)
The anatomy of a tribble. You go, Trek EU. (Thanks to RF on #eu.)
