Even though Archaia’s Fraggle Rock comic isn’t aimed toward me, I’m thrilled to see it. It was my absolute favorite show as a kid – I wrote my first poems while wearing one of my Dad’s giant sweaters, hair disheveled, pretending I was Mokey. I also wanted nothing more than a wise old trash heap in the back yard. Mom and Dad, however, had a problem with that plan. Preview pages after the jump.

By WorldofHiglet – After the bombshell cliff-hanger of last week, the underlying tension of the whole season ramps up even more. Codex finds herself drawn into conflict in the workplace and out: the boss, the slacker, the friendzone and his mother. And Vork. Plus the ladies that lunch. Yes, it’s another action-packed episode….

I feel like there would have been more tension at the end of this episode if I didn’t know True Blood had already been renewed for a fourth season. Remember when we didn’t know? And how tense that was? I’m wondering if one of the things that made some older season finales so great was that we didn’t know if it was actually coming back. Here, we know. True Blood will be back next summer, which means that Sookie will live, along with either Bill Compton or Eric Northman or both. Russell will most likely die the true death to make room for a new Big Bad (based on novel #4, I’m guessing it will be a coven of V-drinking witches), which is unfortunate. I already love Russell.

In what is probably the coolest news I’ve read this week, we’re about to start looking for the mirror universe via the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (which totally sounds like a supervillain’s doomsday device).

by Juliana Weiss-Roessler At the bottom of this article, you’ll find the leaked Star Trek: The Next Generation casting memo, complete with executive notes at the bottom. I’ll have to admit that I don’t know many of the actors that were considered, but I did a little IMDB search for a few of them. Related [...]

by Amy Ratcliffe Yar mateys, who among ye hasn’t wanted to throw a pirate party? Now that you’ve forgiven me for using pirate speak, I’ll move on. I won’t lie. Theme parties are a lot of work. When you want to make everything just right (and I can’t seem to help trying to do that), [...]

I’m not sure which is more confusing – the concept of Chewbacca Pink as a color in fashion or the fact that fashion has interpreted Chewbacca as black and white stripes with mangey patches of pink fur.

One of the things I miss most about my college years are those time at Denny’s at 4AM when we got into drawn out, geeky conversations. At my age, I get the impression that I’m supposed to have grown out of that, but I still like those conversations. It’s just impossible to engage anyone in my offline life in that sort of thing. Everyone wants to talk about their episiotomies, but no one wants to talk the Doctor.

Why do I get so bored when the cast of True Blood spends the entire episode talking? Is it because they’re trash?

by Juliana Weiss-Roessler Do you consider yourself Ray Bradbury’s biggest fan? You may have to shelf that title after you watch this video. Rachel Bloom wrote and starred in this musical tribute to the “greatest sci-fi writer in history,” which conveys her deep and profound respect for his work. Related Stuff:

The existence of this video makes me sad that Ray Bradbury hates the internet. I bet it would make an old man happy. (Totally not safe for work, BTW).

Even after John bought The Strain, I resisted. I finally picked it up while looking for a book small enough to fit in my purse or discreetly read during the mandatory fun baseball game I had to attend (because nothing says “fun” like sitting in your own pooled butt sweat in 95 degree heat, watching a minor league ball game you wouldn’t give two poops about even if you weren’t constipated).

by Amy Ratcliffe One hundred and forty characters. It’s amazing what we’ve learned to cram into those characters in the last few years. Twitter and other social media sites and apps are moving at lightspeed. I know I wasn’t the only person walking around at Star Wars Celebration V with my thumbs attached to my [...]

By WorldofHiglet – Last week saw Codex’ relationship go from off, to Fawkes-off to faux-on all in the space of a non-date-deductable visit to Cheesybeards. Oh, and she got a job, too. So how’s that working out…?

I read recently that the European Space Agency is planning a Doomsday Ark on the Moon. The ark would be initially be a data bank with DNA sequences and instructions for labor tasks like planting crops – stuff most of us have no idea how to perform in our current consumerist state of existence.
