It happens all the time — terrific TV show gets cut down in its prime because They just don't get It. But if you could have just one back for just one season, which would it be? More »

Everyone still missing NBC's Journeyman (and that includes some of us here) have new reason to be cheerful; creator Kevin Falls is apparently hard at work on a new science fiction project: The television adaptation of comic book Powers. More »

If the countless works of science fiction can agree on one thing, it's that the future isn't perfect. And, on the rare occasion when disputes can't be solved with an epic starship battle, it's time to bring in the lawyers. More »

Probably the best werewolf movie ever made, Dog Soldiers is the tale of a Scottish band of soldiers on a practice mission - until they discover that they're being viciously hunted by something that seems like it couldn't possibly be real. Starring Kevin "Journeyman" McKidd and Sean Pertwee, this 2002 wolves vs. soldiers flick was directed by the kickass Neil Marshall, the maniac behind The Descent and Doomsday. More »

Sadly, MTV rumor and Stan Lee choice Will Smith is currently second-to-last in the voting, just barely ahead of Matt Salinger, who played the role back in 1990's little-remembered movie version.

Despite the show dying an unnaturally early death (helped along by the WGA strike), we here at io9 still have a deep and abiding love for NBC's Journeyman. Was it the San Francisco setting that made us love it so? Star Kevin McKidd's mixture of dreamy eyes and jaw that could kill a man? The time-travel mechanics that updated Quantum Leap's mission for a morally-conflicted 21st century? We may never know. But, thanks to an interview with show creator Kevin Falls, we do now know what would have happened had the show continued. More »

We already had an American version of British time-travel show Life On Mars — it was called Journeyman, and it ruled for the half season it was on the air. Sadly, someone decided we needed a literal cover version of Life On Mars, and we wound up with a shadow of the Brit version, as you can see from this side-by-side comparison of one of the most disturbing sequences from the original.

This alien-looking newspaper from the movie Ultraviolet recently turned up on a movie props site. I love the weird font that screams "Vampire Epidemic!!!" with the three exclamation marks. It's good to know that even in a dark dystopian future where plague victims drink your blood, sober responsible journalism will reign supreme. Here's a roundup of the strangest scifi newspapers.

Dan meets a fellow time-traveler who erased his own marriage in last night's final (?) episode of Journeyman. This clip showcases everything that was great about the doomed show: its emotional depth, its cleverness and its willingness to reinvent classic scifi plots with its bare hands. Despite cancellation, Journeyman upped the ante this week with new characters, and more intriguing plot twists. More »

Poor Journeyman. It started off as a total runt, and ended up the coolest new show of the season. And now its final two-parter airs on Monday and Wednesday at 10 PM. At least the show is going out with class, by answering our burning questions about Dan's time travel. And a ratings miracle could still save it. What else is worth watching this week?

Lex Luthor is in a tough spot as Smallville ends its fall block this week. If he doesn't confess his alien experiments, a maniac will blow up the perky Chloe. And thinking she's about to die, Chloe confesses that she's a "Meteor Freak." There should really be a flag for that. More Smallville spoilers, plus Journeyman and Life on Mars, after the jump.

• Heroes is one of the most family-friendly shows on television, according to the Family Friendly Programming Forum. Heroes took home the drama award in the Forum's annual awards night.

• The aliens from Close Encounters of the Third Kind may make a cameo appearance in the fourth Indiana Jones movie. Steven Spielberg is avoiding CGI in favor of puppets, and he decided to pay tribute to the 30th anniversary of Encounters. There's retro, and then there's crazy retro. [MovieHole]
• The Hollywood writers' strike could be settled by Christmas, says Nikki Finke, a blogger who claims to have inside sources. That could allow stalled TV shows to get back on track, and let movies do some desperately needed rewrites. [Deadline Hollywood]

NBC's time-traveling drama Journeyman will be journeying to a very abrupt series end with episode 12, set to air in either December or January. Too bad he couldn't hop back in time and fix the writer's strike before it started. More »
]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=326442&view=rss&microfeed=true Our truncated TV season will soon draw to a close. Luckily, all of the network TV shows seem to be drawing all of their loose ends together towards some sort of climax/cliffhanger, judging from this week's episodes. All except one: Bionic Woman.

Christian Bale will star in Terminator 4, aka Terminator: Salvation, several news sites are reporting. But will he play a Terminator? Or will he play John Connor, as AICN claims? Neither, says CHUD. Instead, he'll play a character who is "new to the Terminator mythos." That jibes with some other recent reports about the direction of the movie. More »

The first time travel tale to ever appear on television was in 1959 on The Twilight Zone, and since then there have been scads of time-tripping adventures available to viewers, some good and some bad. Here's a list of some of the best and worst chronoscopic escapades that television has to offer. More »
]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=325038&view=rss&microfeed=true The past is a freaky monster zoo on Journeyman. Last week, we went to a swinger "key party" and hung out with psycho hippies in the 1970s. This week, it's a disturbing rave in the 1990s, where Dan meets his fellow time-traveler Livia — only to find she hasn't met him yet and is being just as vacant as everyone else. And then he discovers a kidnapped girl imprisoned behind a wall. Contrast that with the cutesy meeting-Mark-Twain approach to the past of other shows. That's just one reason NBC's Journeyman is the best science fiction show right now, after a rocky beginning. More »

Heroes was supposed to boost NBC's high-concept new sci-fi shows Chuck and Journeyman. Instead, the two new shows may be dragging Heroes down. All three shows saw double-digit declines in overnight ratings, and Heroes had a season low. NBC came in third for the night, although Heroes still came in first. Says Medialife: More »
