• Blood and Chrome

  Online Shows

The Chicago Tribune has a story of an online Battlestar Galactica series that would follow the exploits and heroics of Adama in the first Cylon War. By the way; that would be [...]

• Benedict Cumberbatch to play the Master? Or just messing with Doctor Who?

  TV
  

  Is this getting silly? Pretty much everyone who watched Sherlock on the weekend enjoyed it. Benedict Cumberbatch was good. Lots of people could detect the Moffat writing style in the show. Nearly as many people thought Cumberbatch’s Holmes oozed “Doctorness” about it. In fact, the speculation that Cumberbatch would be the natural appointment as the [...]

• Torchwood turns dark; stays dark

  TV
  

  There was a world of difference between the first Torchwood series and the Children of Earth mini-series. In some ways it was almost a set up; you were led to believe that Torchwood was this silly romp that was ‘adult’ only because of its sexual references. Then they hit us with Children of Earth. In [...]

• Spartacus: Gods of the Arena

  TV

Cruely, Spartacus star Andy Whitfield has cancer. We hope he can beat it. Season 2 – Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is set before Spartacus arrives at the [...]

• Watch before it’s yanked: The Walking Dead trailer

  TV
  

  We’ve already had Captain Jack’s Comic Con address make it online. Now we’ve got a long trailer for The Walking Dead air at Comic Con and make it to YouTube. I can only imagine the crowd was asked not to record the trailer. Maybe not. Whatever the situation; we do now have 4 plus minutes [...]

We’ve had a sneak peak of Michael Gambon heading in for filming – good to see Dumbledore on Doctor Who. Now we’ve got access to early pictures of Matt Smith, as Doctor Who, and wearing a new jacket. There [...]
