I don’t care enough about Marvel or Disney to really be moved by the announcement of their unholy union. Unless Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers get recast as flesh-eating undead in a Marvel Zombies spin off. I’d love to see zombie versions of those twerps feasting on the soft brains of their fans.

By Teresa Jusino – It’s the most hilarious play about assisted suicide I’ve ever seen! That’s what I said to a friend of mine after seeing the final performance of Gideon Productions’ Viral, which was part of the 2009 New York Fringe Festival. But that glib one-liner sells this play short.

By Melissa Voelker – It doesn’t take a lot to make a great talk show. Some shows on broadcast television employ large crews, famous guest stars, and fabulous sets to prove how great they are. But, all you really need is a couple of chairs, a camera, a great host, and a hilariously loony guest. Invention with Brian Forbes, the webseries starring Dave Beeler and Tom Konkle, is just such a talk show.

by Sylvia Bond – Sometimes, You Get What You Need (But It Doesn’t Stop Me Asking For More): I can’t help but be greedy, even though Season 4 (S4) knocked it out of the park all the way around. But once we got going, I and the ladies at the “Scenes on the Cutting Room Floor” panel at KazCon figured we’d keep going and let it all hang out about our desires and wants and gotta haves for S4 where we felt that Show missed some great opportunities for serious dramatic development. Or maybe we just want what we want and aren’t afraid to speak up about what we’d like more of.

by Sylvia Bond – Supernatural Season 3 Cutting Room Floor Wish List: You always want what you can’t have, and even when you get what you want, you want more of THAT. It’s just human nature, and I can make no apologies for it, being human myself, having several years of practice. With regards to Supernatural, and although my love for Show knows no bounds, I do know that there are a number of scenes that were either not filmed, or not filmed the way I wanted them to be. And while I don’t have superpowers and can’t retcon the whole thing, I can, as a greedy human, make my wishes known, because if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

By Lisa Fary – Looks like everyone has had it with Uther and his intolerant shenanigans. But first, the starbucking of Morgana. Yes, I’m turning “starbuck” into a verb.

By Lisa Fary – When it comes to drawing a line between work life and social media life, most employees aren’t the ones with the problem. It’s their employers who can’t handle it.

By Sonia Aurora – I’ve been a huge fan of The Prisoner, the 1960’s British TV series, for years. My friend introduced me to it, actually, after Fox had debuted VR.5 and Paul mentioned that it had similar overtones to The Prisoner. So I wanted to know more about that show than VR.5, which I didn’t really love except that they did kill a Major Character a few episodes in and I appreciated that could happen since in real life no one is really spared no matter how important they are (one reason why I both love and hate the show 24).

By Lisa Fary – Even in the future, corporate intrigue isn’t all that interesting. But, throw in a space colonization and a dead woman’s mental presence in the fish population, and the story gets pretty interesting.

By Sonia Aurora – I think it’s safe to say that geeks worldwide have been looking forward to the release of District 9. I remember seeing the trailer for the first time a few months ago and thinking, Oh My God, the humans are the villains! I then did the thing I always do when I really can’t wait for the release of a movie – I try and seclude myself from the hype as much as possible. I will collect articles but hide them, run from the replay of the trailer as the date draws near (I might watch it one more time to psych myself up). The day of I save all the reviews that come out (peeking at the stars or grade, of course) and do my damndest to watch the movie the first weekend.

By Lisa Fary – I first stumbled across Multi National United online several months ago and poked around with both human and non-human access, my East Coast, liberal elitist self appalled at the oppression and propaganda spurred on by this MNU corporation. It was obviously an early marketing campaign for a movie which would probably be ambitious, but of an overall Sci Fi Original Movie quality. Afterwards, I promptly forgot about it and didn’t think of it again until the first District 9 trailer went online.

AMC is seriously becoming my favorite cable channel. They have Mad Men, they’re bringing a new version of The Prisoner later this year. And now, they’ll be bringing The Walking Dead to television. AMC, thank god for you.

By Lisa Fary – When it comes to science fiction, it seems like we’re either going to wind up in a shiny utopia where no one has pockets or a grimy dystopia where machines are the enemy. With his novel Counting Heads, writer David Marusek writes of a future Earth that has room for both, depending on which socioeconomic class you fall into.

The trailer for Legion was the first thing I saw this morning, right before going into a meeting. I always have some dread going into those things. Watching this trailer didn’t help.
