Have you been wondering about those radio ads that prompt you to find "the pattern"? What about the posters wheatpasted in several major cities that feature fake X-ray images of frogs, apples, and a six-fingered handprint (left, reminiscent of the X-Files handprint of yore, right)? Well, I think we've found a pattern for you: it's all part of Fox's not-so-stealthy stealth marketing campaign for Fringe, a new series about a mega-spy and her gang of mad scientists coming this fall from the brain of J.J. Abrams. Part of that stealth marketing campaign also included leaking pristine copies of the series pilot online. We've watched it, and have the scoop on what you can expect. Spoilers ahead. More »

We've had a chance to watch the premiere episode of Battlestar Galactica's fourth and final season, and it certainly didn't disappoint.

Like the very best BSG episodes, this one balances out interesting character developments with seriously kickass space battles. And of course, there's the mystery we were left with at the end of last season: Why has Starbuck returned? More »

This exclusive new preview clip for Battlestar Galactica season 4 reminds us why the science fiction series' violent moral ambiguity has made it the most compelling political drama on TV. Sure the show is about humans fleeing for their lives from cyborgs in space, but it has a realistic, ripped-from-the-headlines urgency that 24 could only dream of. Even the basic BSG premise sounds familiar: Separatists with a burning desire for religious purity have launched a coordinated nuclear attack on our heroes, who are themselves struggling in a mire of corrupt political leadership and a military gone mad with power. It just so happens that the separatists are cyborgs called Cylon and the heroes are from a star system halfway across the galaxy from us. More »

Sure, the six movies featured a fairly coherent storyline running across two different time periods, but Dark Horse Comics has decided to go two better and give the world a Star Wars storyline that spans 4100 years in four different series. Called Vector, the twelve-part story - beginning in this week's Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic #25 (set more than a millennium before the original movie) - promises to follow the search for a particularly dangerous Sith artifact across the entire history of George Lucas's money-making franchise, and we've had a chance to take an early peek at the first chapter.
