Cancel those Fourth of July plans! This is going to be a totally righteous week of science fiction television. First, there's a new Middleman, featuring those Mexican wrestlers we showed you a while back. And then, giant human-eating rats are going to fight environmentalists, to see who rules science TV. There's a new journey into the heart of horror from Reanimator director Stuart Gordon. You've seen Autobots hazing each other, now you can witness a Decpticon initiation. We finally learn exactly what makes "sex-starved aliens" happy, not to mention where Marina Sirtis has been lately. (Those two things have nothing to do with each other, sorry.) Click through for some juicy television listings. More »

This week on TV, ummm... well, maybe we should all Netflix the same things and then discuss them as if they were newly televised. No, wait. Actually, it's not that bad. Among the things that may keep you from killing your TV this week: Batman meets his inspiration, Doctor Who follows Steven Moffat into a weird dreamland, Speed Racer's kid gets trapped on a virtual track... and we learn the terrible truth of the Supergator — is he a tort lawyer who got bitten by a radioactive Writ of Mandamus and got awesome litigation powers as a result? You'll never find out unless you click through. More »

First detective Charlie Jade got sucked into an alternate universe, and now he's getting stuck in the deadliest timeslot of them all. The Sci Fi Channel has decided its airings of the South African/Canadian Charlie Jade have been underperforming in the Friday 8 PM slot, before Doctor Who. So they're moving him to the Monday 3 AM slot instead, where he can safely compete with Golden Girls reruns. Because, of course, the Sci Fi Channel has so much great stuff to air during its precious primetime hours. All this prompted one observer to come up with a new spin on everybody's favorite question: What's wrong with the Sci Fi Channel? More »

There's really only one show on television this week, and it's the one with the natty suits and the crazy monsters. Tonight sees the debut of The Middleman, ABC Family's fun and inventive show about superheroes who save the world from aliens and stone warriors. Okay, so there's also new Doctor Who, Charlie Jade, and some cool animated shows. Plus documentaries about mega-volcanoes and the space program. Okay okay. More »

The two biggest events on TV this week are the build-up to the release of The Incredible Hulk — like two giant green fists, pounding out their primal tattoo of movie hype — and the last Battlestar Galactica episode until 2009. But there are other highlights, including some surprisingly great cartoons, a documentary chock full of space porn, and new episodes of Doctor Who and Charlie Jade. Click through for listings (with minor spoilers). More »

A gritty detective show that spans three different alternate universes is finally coming to the Sci Fi Channel in the U.S. Charlie Jade starts with a murder whose victim has no identity whatsoever, which is unthinkable in the dystopian, corporate-dominated world where Charlie Jade lives. And then in the course of the murder investigation, Charlie uncovers a corporate plot to steal natural resources from an alternate universe — and then he falls through a wormhole into a universe much like ours. The South African/Canadian co-production looks, from the clips I've seen, much gritter and more complex than anything else on Sci Fi... except for Battlestar Galactica, of course.
