We've all seen this coming for awhile. Ratings have been sinking and even the interest of hardcore fans has begun to wane. The writing was on the wall and yep, Joss Whedon's sci-fi TV series Dollhouse has been cancelled by Fox.

THR says the eleventh episode of the show's thirteen episode season and Fox has committed to airing all of the thirteen episodes planned. So there's still more Dollhouse to come on television, but once it's over, it's over.

Series creator Joss Whedon reacted to the news on the fan site Whedoneseque saying: more...

JJ Abrams' reboot of Star Trek debuts on DVD in just a week, and with it available to own in your home comes a bunch of mostly ridiculous tie-ins. This one is perhaps the most ridiculous, but goddammit I'm probably gonna buy them. It's ridiculously geeky cool.

Airwalk will be selling special edition Star Trek sneakers. Alright they look a lot like normal Airwalks except they're in sweet Star Trek colors. Most importantly they have the Federation logo on the tongue, which should come in handy if you're ever beamed off a Klingon warship by a Starfleet patrol vessel and need to prove that you're actually a Federation agent in disguise.

STPL x Airwalk™ Branded Sneakers are available now online and at select Payless ShoeSource stores .

Director Roland Emmerich is planning a sequel to Independence Day and, believe it or not, if he does it it'll only be because Americans elected Barack Obama president.

When we caught up with Emmerich promoting his new movie 2012, he had this to say about making another ID4: "In Independence Day, it was about a king who leads his country into a fight against an outside invader. I didn't want to make that movie during the Bush years. It was not thought that George W. Bush would have made a great king. Now with Obama, it's another story."

Maybe someone should have told him he's making a fantasy movie and, he could have written any sort of president he wanted. No? Just a thought. more...

In the late 80s authors Sharon Lee and Steve Miller wrote a series of three novels set in a galaxy far far away called Agent of Change, Conflict of Honors, and Carpe Diem. And then no one read them… or so they were told.

Their publisher claimed the series was a flop and so it seemed as though it would die right there. Enter the internet where, one day, Miller and Lee stumbled onto a Usenet group flush with fans who, all but demanded more in the series. The surprised authors went back to work and the series now spans more than ten books with more on the way.

Make it a point to read them all.

The Liaden Universe, the name most commonly used to encompass their work, is unlike anything you’ve read before. What’s most impressive about the Liaden books is the variety of settings and styles in which they take place. Agent of Change for instance, is an intimate spy novel focused on a small handful of characters engaged in a complex game of cat and mouse which is confined primarily to a single planet. Balance of Trade is the story of the crew aboard a massive, intergalactic merchant ship, making their way from one planet to the next. Local Custom is almost a romance novel, set amongst the complex politics of an honor driven society. The series contains massive war stories, smuggler runs, psychic warfare, and nearly every kind of science fiction you can imagine, but all in one universe. Best of all, it fits together. They aren’t random stories but larger parts of the same whole, each told in their own way and from their own angle. more...

Plans are already underway to turn Roland Emmerich's new "what if" disaster movie 2012 into a TV show. Today he offered details on what the TV show's all about while out promoting the movie.

The TV show will be called 2013 and as the title suggests, it takes place after the events of the movie. Emmerich specifically references Lost and District 9 as models for the show, which I guess means an endless series of questions without answers.

SPOILER ALERT! The survivors on the giant rescue boats you'll see at the end of the movie arrive in Africa, where a bunch of people survived the tidal wave and are pissed they weren't invited on the boats. Emmerich says it's about how it's "not the bright happy future everyone was imagining" when we last saw them at the end of the movie.

New episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars are back on television this Wednesday at 8:00pm with the debut of “The Landing at Point Rain” on Cartoon Network. Unless Lucas finally gets his ass in gear on that long-promised but little delivered live-action Star Wars TV show, or unless those wild rumors about a new trilogy turn out to be true, this is pretty much your only way to get a Star Wars fix. Eat it up.

“The Landing at Point Rain” sounds as if it’s more than just a standard Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode. Director Brian Kalin O’Connell says of it, “George [Lucas] wanted ‘Landing at Point Rain’ to be as intense as any live-action movie about the assault on Omaha Beach”

Below we have a clip from “The Landing at Point Rain”. Here’s a taste of what you’re in for after the jump. more...

ABC is resurrecting V and, on the surface, it doesn’t seem like a good decision. Sure V was a blockbuster miniseries back in the 80s but the subsequent spin-off television series never really went anywhere. Now ABC is skipping right over the miniseries, the component which worked best last time around, and going straight to the previously failed weekly one hour drama format. Not that they have any choice. The glory days of the made for television event is long over, with the miniseries’ relegated to barely watched deep cable.

So on the surface this may seem like an idea destined for failure but the truth is, having just watched the series premiere, I think they may be on to something.

The show’s one-hour format debut isn’t exactly inspired, but it’s economical and it gets right to the point. Within minutes the aliens have landed and from there it skips forward at a rapid pace which sets up the same intrigue fans of the first series are familiar with. The aliens, who call themselves Visitors and “Vs” for short, present themselves as human in appearance. Actually you might say they appear hyper-human. Imagine an entire ship full of mid-level runway models and you’ll have some idea of the hotness level they’ve brought into our atmosphere. The V’s loudly proclaim that they’ve come in peace and immediately set about curing all of mankind’s ills. This of course means they’re up to no good and if you’ve seen the original you already know what that no-good is. more...

I first tuned in to FlashForward, mostly out of desperation. With Battlestar Galactica gone, Doctor Who soon to lose the greatest doctor ever in David Tennant, and Lost becoming increasingly stupid, we need something to carry the sci-fi fire on television.

This past week FlashForward resorted to its first lesbian makeout session. It was also the first time I really remember enjoying the show since I first started watching it and, of course, I was enjoying it for utterly juvenile reasons. Once the frenching was over Flash Forward went right back to being the bore it's always been. It's a brain-dead science fiction show, it's time travel for 2-year-olds, a playschool version of Lost and it's time to let it go.

The mysteries are, plainly stated, a bore. In its very first episodes Lost gave us a mysterious plane crash, an insane monster lurking in the jungle, and the magical healing of a cripple. In Flash Forward the entire world took a brief nap and, though theoretically this caused global problems, a few days later everyone feels pretty much fine with it and everything goes on as normal. A few FBI agents still seem kind of hung up on it, but mostly the world seems to have moved on so why shouldn't the show's audience? more...
