Meet Sanctuary's Radiation-Spewing Rageaholic Mob Boss
After the joys of vampire squid-on-scorpion violence, Sanctuary delivered the abnormal equivalent of forehead aliens this week, pairing a guy with a pouch in his stomach with a mob boss with radiation-spewing hands and some serious temper issues. More »Fringe Solves the Mystery of Walter's Madness
Last night's Fringe resolved a mystery that stretches back to the beginning of the series: the cause of Walter Bishop's mental disorders. All it takes is our team of dimension-hopping enemy supersoldiers and and a boatload of brain surgery. More »Syfy's Alice Was Saved By A Hatter

Supervillains Vs. Bastards, In Sick, Twisted "Incognito"
Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the creative team behind Criminal and Sleeper, have done it again. The newly collected miniseries Incognito, released this week by Marvel's Icon imprint, is a brutal exploration of the thin line between villainy and anti-villainy. More »"The Road" Leads to a Sentimental Post-Apocalypse

What We've Learned About Fringe's Observers
They've been lurking in the background for the entire series, and last night, Fringe's bald Observers finally stepped into the limelight. Here's what we learned about the mysterious beings who've been spying on the Fringe team. More »1950s Science Fiction Loved Neanderthals, Feared Polio
Did you know we made scientific advances in the last half century? It amazed me, too. Step back into a carefree world of spaceships, human-neanderthal orgies, and polio as I pick up a fifty-five-year-old copy of Astounding Science Fiction. More »Turn Off Your Brain and Watch the World End in 2012
Roland Emmerich's 2012 is jammed with every cliche and trope ever found in a Hollywood disaster movie, while giving the Earth an over-the-top pummeling. It's a reasonably fun flick at times, if you don't think about it...at all. More »Clone Wars Grows Up In Front Of Your Eyes In New Box Set

Can a Plush Bunny Survive the Zombie Apocalypse? You Decide
A choose-your-own-adventure style book is a natural addition to the zombie genre, but Zombocalypse Now is a surprisingly zany entry. Starring a snarky, chainsmoking stuffed bunny, the book pits you against mobsters, toothpaste executives, and zombified zoo animals. More »Join Mountain Goats And Vanderslice For A Lunar Organ Harvester's Descent Into Madness
