Only one more week until "Stargate Universe" returns.
If you're anxious to see where things go next for the sophomore series (I've seen the first two episodes and they're fantastic), you might want to take a look at this article over at Gateworld.

They both won Emmys for their work on "Lost," and created fan favorite characters on the show for five seasons.
So why not get the duo back together?
That's what J.J. Abrams is pitching to various networks. The project would reunite Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emereson in a show centering on former black-ops agents, according to Vulture.
"Ender's Game" Back in Development
September 21, 2010 By 4 Comments
When "Serenity" hit movie theaters, author Orson Scott Card said that Joss Whedon was the ideal director for a big-screen adaptation of the iconic science-fiction novel, "Ender's Game."
Unfortunately, no one in Hollywood seems to be listening to Card.
The on-again, off-again development of one of the greatest novels (sci-fi or the otherwise) appears to be on-again. And the man who could bring it to screens isn't Whedon but the director of "Wolverine."
Warehouse 13: Reset -- A Slice of SciFi Review
September 21, 2010 By 1 Comment
Last year, "Warehouse 13" found its stride mid-season and kept that confidence going into the season finale. This year, the show continued the stride right out of the gate while adding in a few new recurring elements to give the summer series a bit of an arc structure and story. It's not quite as difficult an arc to follow as shows like "Lost" or "Battlestar Galactica," but it was enough of one to give us some more investment in the characters.
Tonight's season finale continues the work started last week in paying off most of the character arcs from season two as well as working to wrap up the on-going storyline about H.G. Wells.

And leave it to Pratchett to come up with a unique way to receive his knighthood.

In "The Dark Knight," Gotham City saw a host of people following the example of Batman.
The United States Air Force appears to hope that some of its solider will do the same thing. No, they won't don a cape and cowl and become vigilantes. Instead the Air Force wants to train soldiers to be as resourceful as the Caped Crusader.

As Marvel Studios begins to look to the post-"Avengers" superhero movies, one character who keeps coming up for a solo movie is Doctor Strange.
The studio has reportedly hired "Conan" screenwriters Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer for a script treatment and are looking to bring the character to the silver screen in the near future.
But a story from MTV News says that the film might not be live action, but instead could come from Disney's Pixar Studios.

Regular listeners to our show will know we suffer from 3-D rage and Reboot Rage. But it appears that director James Cameron is looking to create a third rage category all for himself.
According to Deadline, the Oscar winning director is looking to jump back into television with a TV series based on his 1994 hit movie, "True Lies."
Warner Brothers, DC Will Detail Film Projects Next Month
September 20, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Looking to replace the Harry Potter films as a virtually guaranteed cash cow at the box-office, Warner Brothers revealed this summer that it will turn to the superheroes of DC Comics.
And while we've had a few hints, rumbles and rumors about how exactly that will unfold, we still don't know a lot of specific details about the upcoming slate of DC superhero movies that are set to kick-off when "Green Lantern" opens.
Norton Discusses "Hulk" Departure
September 20, 2010 By 5 Comments
Earlier this year, Oscar-nominated actor Edward Norton walked away from his role as Bruce Banner aka the Incredible Hulk for the upcoming "Avengers" movie.
At the time, there was a lot of speculation and discussion about how and why Norton had left the role. Norton issued a statement, regretting that he couldn't continue the role and has been silent on the issue.
Until now.
Reboot Rage: "TimeCop"
September 20, 2010 By 5 Comments
Remember the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, "TimeCop?"
Universal does.
Released in 1994, the film was a minor hit for the studio and one of the last hit theatrical releases for Van Damme. It did enough business to warrant a direct-to-video sequel without Van Damme and a spin-off tv series.
"Chuck" Producers Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak -- A TV Guide Interview
September 20, 2010 By 1 Comment
The fourth season of "Chuck" kicks off tonight at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
The spy dramedy is one of our favorites here at Slice of SciFi and if you haven't been watching, we encourage you to give it a try. As I said last season when the show came back, you can catch "House" on Hulu later since it's likely the plot will be the same one it's been the past six years (House and the crew misdiagnose the condition for the first fifty-five minutes and then come up with a wacky cure based on a random conversation with Wilson). And if you're a football fan, you can miss the first half of Monday Night Football and be OK.
