Lost returns this week on Monday, February 2nd to pick up where it left off. But if you're tired of waiting, get a sneak peak at what the island has in store right now. The first four minutes of the new season has appeared online, presumably delivered by the smoke monster. The episode appears to pick right up where last season left off, with everything on the island being sucked into the future home of The Hatch. Start asking questions now!

After a long wait, the Battlestar Galactica spin-off Caprica finally made it's official debut on the SyFy channel this last Friday. Now we've got a look at what the show's first full season has in store. more...

Buffy's ex-nemesis Spike, James Marsters, has a new gig, and it's on the SyFy channel's Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica. In it, he plays a character named Baranabus Greely, and our friends over at CB scored the first ever photo of Marsters on the show. Take a look:

Steven Spielberg has a thing for aliens. Once upon a time that was great, and it resulted in such classic films as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. More recently, though, it has resulted in that horrible War of the Worlds remake and whatever the heck that was which he helped Lucas do to Indiana Jones.

Soon he'll take his beings from outer space obsession to TNT, where they've already approved 10 episodes and we'll hope for a return to better days, days when Spielberg pushed the sci-fi genre to the limit rather than nuking the fridge. This new series doesn't have a title yet but it does have Noah Wyle, a photo, and an official plot synopsis. Here's all three:

Chuck is back and kicking ass and, in this Monday's upcoming episode titled "Chuck Vs. First Class" Brandon Routh returns this time along with Smallville's Kristin Kreuk. Will movie Superman meet TV Superman's girlfriend? Here's the skinny on what it's about:

Chuck must go on his first solo mission to Paris, but he'll be lucky to survive the flight. Kristin Kreuk (Smallville), Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), and Stone Cold Steve Austin guest star. CIA agent Daniel Shaw (guest star Brandon Routh) assigns Chuck (Zachary Levi) to his first solo mission in Paris, ignoring Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) and Casey´s (Adam Baldwin) wishes. During the flight to France, Chuck befriends Hannah (guest star Kristin Kreuk) and flashes on another passenger – the imposing Hugo Panzer (guest star Stone Cold Steve Austin). Meanwhile, Casey helps Morgan (Joshua Gomez) battle Jeff and Lester for control of the Buy More. Scott Krinsky, Vik Sahay and Mark Christopher Lawrence also star.”

After the jump, we have clips from the episode. Make sure you're tuned in this Monday at 8pm EST. more...

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...

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...
