Last night on the supernatural soap Being Human, the series decided to keep it simple. With the tedious vampire politics warming on the back burner we had plenty of time to let this show do what it does best, film a group of snarky, fizzy dialogue. More »

Looks like Syfy has added one more show to their rapidly depleting list of scripted series. Their latest purchase is Rewind, a show about a time-traveling anti-terrorist unit who tries to change the past to alter their terrible future. It's written by Justin Marks from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. More »

Syfy's version of the British hit Being Human returns tonight, and it sounds like the show cranks up the torture machine right away. We got a chance to talk to the show's stars a while back, and they told us to expect nothing but suffering and horrible mistakes from the very first minutes of the season. More »

Earlier this year, Syfy was choosing between airing two different shows about people with superpowers going on difficult missions: Alphas, and Three Inches. In the end, Syfy went with Alphas — but Syfy still aired the pilot for the other "superpowered team" show, Three Inches. Last night. With absolutely no fanfare — on a night when absolutely nobody was likely to be watching. More »

Syfy's remake of the British show Being Human surprised us with its strong storytelling and its mostly solid cast. Now a second season is right around the corner — and can the show repeat its first-year achievements? More »

Doctor Who returns this weekend with an extra-long holiday special — and we've got three brand new clips! Also, Terra Nova and American Horror Story are both having their season finales. Which do you think will be more demented? But there's also something called Viking Apocalypse, and a TV show about superhero-themed "man caves." Check out tons of clips and details for this week's television below! More »

This Saturday, Syfy's Original Movies are breaking the monster-movie mold, with a totally insane apocalyptic TV movie. We've seen big chunks of Earth's Final Hours, the TV movie with the self-explanatory title, and it's totally nuts. We're excited to be able to share a couple of exclusive clips, featuring two super-creative methods of interstellar death: impalement via meteor, and instant incineration via super-lightning. More »

This week, two different TV movies offer your choice of apocalypses: a zombie rampage, or the Earth's rotation slowing down. But only one of them features Lance Reddick as a zombie-fighter. If you're not in the mood for the end of the world, though, there's also an animal documentary that pushes cuteness levels into the red zone... and beyond. More »

The brave fans of Richard Dean Anderson (known to Gaters as Col. Jack O'Neill) are attempting to map out every single Stargate story arc in the 10 seasons Stargate SG-1 was on the air. Clearly this is a work in progress, as "200" and "Bad Guys" from Season 10 are missing. But we've got to applaud anyone who attempts to plot out all 214 episodes (and hopefully the DVD movies as well)! View the entire chart over at Richard Dean Anderson's Fanpage. More »

Booster Gold is a pretty clever concept: A guy from the far future travels back in time to our present, using futuristic technology to become a superhero so that he can become rich and famous. Would this concept actually work as a weekly TV show, especially if you put Booster in a world with few or no other superheroes? I guess we may get to find out. Syfy has ordered a Booster Gold pilot script from Fringe producer Andrew Kreisberg. The project is produced by Greg Berlanti (Green Lantern, No Ordinary Family) — no clue whether this will lead to a pilot actually being shot, but you never know. [THR] More »

With Stargate gone and Battlestar Galactica long dead, there's been a dreadful absence of space opera on our screens lately. Thank goodness Syfy is stepping into the gap, launching a whole new spacefaring series. Even better news? The series is being crafted by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Andromeda producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe. Here's everything we know. More »

The Adjustment Bureau, or Philip K. Dick for Dummies is getting a second chance to dazzle you with their teleporting hat-wearing boys' club. Syfy is developing an Adjustment Bureau TV show. And with the best part of the film being the big-name stars Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, let's just say we don't have high hopes for the well-hatted angels of fate. More »

You'd think the whole point of a self-fulfilling prophecy would be that it can fulfill itself, while you go off and have a sandwich or something. But no. Actually, as last night's Warehouse 13 demonstrated aptly, self-fulfilling prophecies end up being a lot of work. Both Myka and Claudia fell afoul of what appeared to be inevitable doom, and in both cases it was just a misunderstanding. Spoilers ahead... More »

Yesterday's Eureka was quite literally its most batshit ever, as super-charged, ultra-acidic bat guano almost killed the show's most adorable couple: the robotic Deputy Andy, and Carter's smart house S.A.R.A.H. Love between AI has never been so almost tragic. More »

We expect a lot from Syfy, because it's the only cable channel devoted to science fiction. So it's inevitable that the network formerly known as the Sci-Fi Channel will disappoint us occasionally. And sometimes people blame Syfy unfairly — like when Syfy pulls the plug on a low-rated show. More »

We thought we'd never get another pairing to replace Myka Bering and H.G. Wells, but Warehouse 13 has come through again. The team-up of Kate Mulgrew's regent, Jane, with Myka Bering was utterly perfect — and that's before they started joking about being Thema and Louise. More »

It's pretty cheeky for a show to get Star Trek: Voyager's Jeri Ryan as a guest star, and then to turn her into a version of the Borg Queen for half an hour or so... although at least Ryan herself remained unBorged. Still, it was... fascinating. More »
