]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5454840&view=rss&microfeed=true He's already livened up Torchwood, Smallville and Dragonball, but now Buffy's punky vampire, James Marsters, is joining the cast of Caprica, the prequel to Battlestar Galactica. He'll play a terrorist (presumably a monotheist) named Barnabus Greeley. Says EW's Michael Ausiello, "Driven by desires both moralistic and carnal, Barnabus is as lethal as he is unpredictable."

]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5340223&view=rss&microfeed=true James Marsters told an interviewer that he'll be filming the sequel to the much-reviled Dragonball Evolution after he gets done touring with his band in Europe this spring and summer. He's just been told he can officially announce a sequel. Even fansite DB The Move greets this news with gritted teeth, saying "Let's just hope that if true, they treat the sequel with a lot more respect." (I still think the first movie was fun fluff, as long as you bring either an actual five-year-old, or your inner five-year-old.) More »

Our beloved vampire and gay time traveler will be killing big fat alien bugs out West amongst the coyotes and dirt roads in a new Sci Fi Channel original movie.

For months, Dragonball fans have worried over the live-action recreation of the demon Lord Piccolo. Will he be green? Will he be all CG? Will it look like a dude in a mask? Dragonball stills have leaked, answering all of your pressing Piccolo questions. And unfortunately, I'm left a little bewildered by the whole look. The man with the cheek bones of steel, James Marsters, layers on the prosthetics to create the character Piccolo and looks pretty bad ass for another world's demon, but there are still a few questions I'm going to need answered.

In what might have been a moment of collective wishful thinking, it seems that all of the recent rumors about Fox trying quietly to kill the live-action movie version of Dragonball were just that: rumors.

This clip shows everything that's great — and everything that's awful — about Torchwood, the naughtiest Doctor Who spinoff. First it serves up outlandish sexual innuendo mixed liberally with alien creepiness. And then it suddenly veers into drama and jealous bickering, which is really just the grotty barnacle-covered underside of campiness. Don't watch the clip or read below the fold unless you want spoilers for the latest Torchwood episode. More »

Torchwood, the BBC's raunchy Doctor Who spin-off, may be less taboo for season two - depending when you watch it. Every episode of season two will have a grown-up version and an edited version for kids, which will air a few days later in an earlier time slot. At first, you might not think that'll affect you, since you can just watch the unedited version. But you'd be wrong. More »
