Lost: Move It or Lose It

I love John Locke. I love Buddy Holly. And yesterday was my birthday, so it was nice that they both showed up in "Cabin Fever," last night's episode of Lost. Alas, "Everyday" wasn't released until 1957, which is a year after Locke's birthday (May 30, 1956). Maybe more time travel? Kidding, just kidding. Anyway, what a pleasure to get more of the story behind Locke's rendezvous with destiny. Recapitude and spoileration after the jump. More »

Lost's Island Castaways Get Some More Elbow Room Worried that island castaway show Lost is getting too fast-paced? Never fear: The producers have pulled the emergency brake. The final two seasons will each be one hour longer than originally planned, to compensate for the strike-shortened fourth season. So the 2009 and 2010 seasons will each have 17 hours. Producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof had already warned that season five might seem a little slow and meandering compared to the breakneck pace of the current episodes. [Sci Fi Wire]

WTF Casting News From Wolverine And Heroes

Sometimes, you sort of know how a particular movie or TV episode is going to go, after you read a bunch of spoilers. And sometimes, you see a new spoiler and have no clue how it's going to fit together with what you already knew. Case in point: a new casting announcement for the Wolverine movie makes no sense to me at all. There's also a new character joining Heroes, who could put a different spin on the show's existing relationships. (And one fan is going nuts trying to make all the random Battlestar spoilers fit.) And then there are the weird-but-true hints about upcoming Doctor Who episodes, the confusing Lost clips, and the cryptic pages from DC Comics' Final Crisis. But even when spoilers add to our confusion, we have to consume them anyway. We're spoilervores! More »

"Fighting Evil, So You Don't Have To"

A new TV show from Lost producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach follows a 22-year-old art student named Wendy, who becomes the apprentice to a superhero, whose slogan is "Fighting evil, so you don't have to." The Middleman started life as a Viper Comics series, in which the Middleman fights a "tentacled ass-monster" that threatens to destroy the world. Now it's coming to ABC Family, starring Natalie Morales as Wendy and Matt Kessler as Middleman. More details, after the jump. More »

We dug up a dodgy description of how the current Doctor Who season climaxes, and a few new hints about the rest of the Lost season.

Claymation Alien Explains The Plot Of Lost

The top secret government files of a purple alien, Prometheus, teaching the slightly slow caveman, Bob, are easily among the best science fiction comedy shorts in claymation history. According to the announcer, these tapes were recorded over 900,000 years ago by an alien using a remote controlled camera. See how Prometheus and Bob explain how a polar bear could have ended up on Lost's island. More »

We Ruin The Endings Of Lost, Doctor Who And Smallville

Greetings, spoiler-freaks! We've trawled through the Internet and found out details about Iron Man 2 and Batman 3, and we've found an Indiana Jones TV spot with some new footage.

Play "Spot The Star Trek Actor" On This Week's Shows

It's when times are lean that you need a really good tracker — someone who can scout through the barren underbrush of the TV schedule and forage for programs worth watching. We're still on a severe diet, thanks to last winter's writers' strike. But there are some worthy programs out there. We have two preview clips from Thursday's all-new Lost episode, plus looks ahead at new episodes of Smallville, Doctor Who, Sarah Jane, Spectacular Spider-Man, Transformers and Ben 10. Plus the Sci Fi Channel finally breaks the cheese-ometer. Listings, with minor spoilers only, below the fold. More »

Sex Secrets Of Hancock And Smallville's Clark Kent

Spoiler fiends are the truest afficionados of media SF. We're endlessly curious about everything: we actually care about drunken superhero Hancock's sex life, and exactly what Mulder and Scully's status is in X-Files 2. We pore over toy announcements to decipher the secret of Doctor Who's season finale, and read between the lines to dope out Smallville's next female villain. We scan every bit of new Speed Racer footage, and comb through hints about Heroes season three. We spy on Lost's finale shooting. We even pay attention to the reports about Eureka's next season and news about Star Wars books, that's how omnivorous we are. If it's a spoiler, we're interested. More »

Lost: Just Who Is This Aaron Kid Anyway?

Appendectomies! Everybody's getting them — a major character in last night's episode of Lost ("Something Nice Back Home") and my brother-in-law last week. Of course, BIL had fancy-pants arthroscopic surgery in a hospital, not on a piece of airplane wreckage with Dharma-brand instruments—and I'm pretty sure he didn't want to stay conscious through the procedure. (Maybe they're both lucky the little devil wasn't pulled out through the closest possible orifice.) Lucky for me—and the rest of you who prefer action Lost to melodrama, Lost—"Something Nice Back Home" didn't turn out to be the Jack/Kate/Juliet soap opera I feared. Oh, there were some soapy/sappy moments to be sure, but on the whole it was a solid episode. More about the show, and nothing about my in-laws, after the jump. More »

Explain Lost To Its Own Producers

Think you know everything going on in Lost? Can you name everyone's constant? Can you connect all the minute details over the last four seasons to explain what the smoke monster is? If so can you tell me? USA Today has given the chance for Lost fans to submit their own plot theories to later be graded (A through F) by executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof.
And the producers' responses so far reveal some important hints about the show's secrets. More »

what to watch

Speed Racer's Son Meets A Robot Chimp

If you had a robot butler scheduling your TV viewing (and maybe showing programs on a Teletubbies-style belly screen) he would have an upbeat lilt in his synth-voice when describing this week's TV options. There are actually some worthwhile items, on days other than Thursday and Friday. For instance, might we suggest mutant ghetto rats and robot apes (not actually appearing in the same show)? Plus, Darth Vader wants to cheat you out of all your money. (Daddy needs a new Death Star!) Oh, and there are new episodes of Lost, Smallville, Doctor Who, Sarah Jane, Ben 10, Transformers, Spider-Man and Battlestar. Listings (with minor spoilers) below. More »
