Smallville can’t be allowed to break Stargate SG-1’s world record

We MUST stop this. Somehow Smallville must be canceled before it surpasses Stargate SG-1 and becomes the longest running Sci-fi show in North America’s history.

Now I’m not suggesting violence here. Oh no. That’s dumb. But maybe something like what Jericho fans did. They mailed in boxes and boxes and boxes of peanuts to get the show started again. Maybe if we send in cases of green Jell-O seeing as it Jack O’Neil’s favorite desert. I don’t know. Something needs to be done, though.

Stargate SG-1 is the most complete and thorough sci-fi show every created. It ranks higher than both Star Trek and Star Wars in book. Watch the show from the very first NSFW episode through the end. There are complex story arcs and character development found in no other sci-fi show.

LOL@Smallville. I pretty much agree with this article. A shitty show should just end instead of dragging it out.

I loved Firefly. I’m glad to see some of those people on other shows. Do you watch Warehouse 13?

Fox renews sci-fi drama ‘Fringe‘

Despite lower ratings since its move to Thursdays — understanding, given its going up against the likes of CSI and Grey’s Anatomy — Fringe has been renewed by Fox for a third season.

It’s an unexpectedly early announcement, one that seems to be a vote of confidence from the network in the series co-created by J.J. Abrams (Lost, Alias). Even though it’s experienced a dip in ratings, Fringe has performed well relative to other Fox programming in that time slot (granted, not necessarily hard to do).

OMG I’ve heard a lot about Fringe, but I didn’t realize JJ Abrams was attached to it. I must check it out. Knowing he is a co-creator make it a must see for me.

Are you a Fringe fan? What do you like about the show? And are you pleased that it’s been renewed for a third season?

With my luck, I will get really into it and then it will be canceled. Murphy’s Law.

The city is making a bid to attract Comic-Con from its home base in San Diego to the Anaheim Convention Center starting in 2013.

City officials confirmed Tuesday that they have submitted a proposal to Comic-Con board members, who have toured the Anaheim Convention Center in recent weeks.

Comic-Con International, which began 40 years ago as a small convention attracting comic-book fans and science-fiction aficionados, has grown into one of the region’s largest annual conventions, routinely attracting more than 120,000 attendees.

It has gained worldwide attention as a proud “geek-fest,” where self-described sci-fi geeks who idolize superheroes and grew up worshipping “Star Wars” often dress as their favorite fictional characters to walk the convention halls – from intimidating Klingons to scantily clad Princess Leias.

Movie studios and TV executives flock to the convention to offer previews of potential blockbusters and create buzz about new television series that they think will appeal to such a crowd.

The move would be good for Hollywood studios for sure, but personally unless it comes to the East Coast, I stiff remain miffed each year I don’t get to attend. Hopefully one of these days. Do you attend Comic-Con? Do you think it’s a good idea for them to move it to Anaheim?

Travis Pitts, the illustrator responsible for zombie apocalypse Scooby Doo, is selling a series of wild faux-vintage foreign movie posters. Are you brave enough to confront Terminateur or Il Predator?

If it were the 1950’s and Terminator, The Thing and Predator were just being released abroad…this is what those poster might look like.

Click here to see the rest of the posters.

They are pretty cool. Flat and very graphic design-ish in nature. I think it takes more creativity to design posters as such, than photographing the stars of the movie in close-ups, with brooding expressions, half covered by shadow.  It is very rare indeed to see illustrated movie posters these days. The first (kinda recent one) that comes to mind is the poster for ‘Choke’. I know it’s not a supernatural flick, but I’m trying to make a point here. It’s more visually interesting and grabs your attention far better than the face of Sam Rockwell would be.

Don’t you agree?

What are your thoughts?

Before sitting down to watch the first three episodes of Shane Felux’s Trenches, which premiered today on Crackle.com, I took some time to lower my expectations. After all, I’ve been waiting to watch the special-effects-heavy series since July 2007 — it’d be easy to to feel let down.

Of course, it’d also be easy to feel let down by Trenches if you were expecting what the show appeared to be on the surface based on the trailers — an epic sci-fi space battle set in a not-too-distant future. The first episode does in fact deliver a heavy burst of spaceships, laser fire and futuristic transporters, but by the end the action has come down to Earth — that is to say, the strange world that Lt. Andrews (Aaron Mathias) has just found himself marooned on.

I watched a few moments of Trenches and (personally) I am not a fan, it reminds me too much of certain SyFy Channel series and I just can’t get into them. What do you think of the series Trenches? Are you a fan?

When io9 asked me if I could break away from my busy schedule of being awesome and create some disastrous Valentines . . . How could I say no? I love you all, and dammit you deserve it!!!

So view these, send these, or print them out and leave them in the box on the desk of that cute girl in your class who one day you’ll be much cooler and more successful than, but for now, she’s all you can think about.
