By WorldofHiglet – Ms Day took part in a Syfy conference call and answered questions about Red, her upcoming role in Syfy’s Eureka and what the future holds for The Guild and her other work. It is obvious she enjoyed the challenges of the Red. She worked out every day and made her dad very happy by spending time on the gun range with him for the first time to practice. It was physically demanding and she was covered in bruises, but is something she would love to do again.

AMC’s new show, Rubicon, has wormed into my head and is making me crazy, getting me back into conspiracy theory mode wherein I want to spend hours examining history and quotations looking for clues pointing the existence of goals of a shadowy, global organization.

Well, this is awkward. I’m in a position wherein I have to say something nice about Syfy. Why? Because Syfy has managed to do something. . . wait for it. . . good.

By Shawn Deena – Let’s be clear – I’m never going to refer to this channel with their new name. It’s stupid. Before the name change there was once a time that the Sci-Fi channel had some really good programming. Then little by little things started to go south until suddenly we get a rash of Sci-Fi original movies all based around some hybrid monster, D-list actors and animation and computer graphics that makes South Park look like Avatar.

By Lisa Fary – The good news is that Syfy is finally turning away from all that cheap, lousy monster movie nonsense that just makes me hang my head and moan, “WHHHYYYYYY????” as I pour myself another drink. The bad news is that Syfy is turning its attention to fairy tales.

By Lisa Fary – Take Buffy and make the main character a guy. Add an American gatekeeper and a subterranean base a la Torchwood. Throw in Twilight’s teen angst and unexplained shirtlessness, along with some Supernatural style baddies, and you’ve got BBC’s Demons.

By Lisa Fary – I’m not proud to say that, as a child, I was afraid of plants. Not all plants, just plants that were bigger than me (considering I’m a runty thing, that meant most plants).

By Lisa Fary – Naturally, I wasn’t going into SyFy’s miniseries, Alice, with a clear and open mind. I expected it to be silly, expected to dramatically turn it off with a huff halfway though, expected to groan through what I saw. I didn’t. I actually watched the whole thing, only groaned when the soundtrack kicked in (bongos everywhere), and. . . enjoyed most of it. Weird, right?

Last week, I was on a conference call with writer/ director Nick Willing and actress Caterina Scorsone for SyFy’s new miniseries, Alice. I didn’t get to ask my question, so as you read this, try to imagine me lurking under the words, seething, spitting “It’s not your personal interview, dude! GAWD!”

By Lisa Fary – Bliss? That asinine skinning scene? Did a high school drama club write this $h!t? Seriously, this makes Flash Gordon on the SciFi Channel look brilliant.

By Lisa Fary – I’m still on the fence about Alice. Not feeling excited, but am mildly interested even though the miniseries is from the same guy who did Tin Man and Hallmark Entertainment’s disastrous Jason and the Argonauts miniseries.

By Lisa Fary – This episode of V, “There is No Normal Anymore”, was like drinking Bud Light while listening to Matchbox 20 and wearing the chino pants/ white tee/ cardigan combo: an exercise in lifeless predictability and blandness.

By Lisa Fary – Did everyone involved with writing and production have hands of lead? ‘Cuz there was a lot of heavy handed nonsense here. Get it? Heavy handed? Lead is heavy, and if someone’s hands were lead, they’d be heavy hands. Hence, heavy handed. That’s the kind of heavy handedness at play in V.

By Lisa Fary – At some point, I’ll have to find forgiveness in my withered heart for Ron D. Moore. I was so angry about the finale of that show (you know the one), but then Caprica turned out to be so good, and now Virtuality looks like it would be even better.

By Lisa Fary – Don’t worry about the moon crashing into the Earth and vaporizing the planet. Kids and family will save us. Perhaps by forming a vortex of annoying, righteous earnestness that will devour the moon’s gravitational threat. Even that’s better science than what’s going on in Impact.

By Teresa Jusino As much as I bemoan the dearth of original stories in film and television in favor of remakes or adaptations, I still appreciate that there is a place for quality retellings. When done well, a remake, adaptation, or retelling feels like an original work, allowing you to experience the source material in [...]

If you’re ten years old, and it’s the 1980s, The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines is an awesome movie. If its 2007, it might be awesome if you’re a bushman or a pygmy and have never seen a television before. Related Stuff:
