Cars have been around longer than people realize, with larval versions dating back to the early 1800s. What's also been around a long time is people's infatuation with the idea of a go-anywhere exploration vehicle. Even if they were only built in jingoistic imaginations, it's still a start.

When an often fatal illness nicknamed the Irath Flu — because the Irathients carry it, although they aren’t affected by it — breaks out, secrets are revealed, some great character moments are had, and a lot of people make tremendously stupid decisions.

In 2057, android cops created by Lunarcorp will patrol the streets and send the many, many criminals they arrest to the the company's prison on the moon, where they are never seen or heard from again. One man tries to escape and become the first man to return to Earth in Tyson Wade Johnston's Lunar.

A frozen astronaut wakes up in the future? Sounds like an episode of countless ‘80s scifi shows (or, in the case of Buck Rogers, the whole premise). But whether Defiance’s “I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times” is a delightful homage or hackneyed retread, HOLY SHIT DID THE DUDE THAT PLAYED THE ASTRONAUT BLOW.

After three extremely solid episodes in a row, I was expecting a bit of a clunker. For the most part, “Goodbye Blue Sky” is a collection of not particularly subtle relationship establishers… but that doesn’t mean the episode wasn’t without some craziness, i.e., KLINGON SPACE JESUS.

In case you were wondering if Japan's new Space Battleship Yamato remake was still looking phenomenally badass, well: If you consider massive space battles with giant guns, Gamilons, dogfights, explosions, and people on starship decks yelling orders and freaking out to be badass, then the answer is an unequivocal "yes."

You're living in the future, but nobody goes by foot anymore. You need a car. But what car do you get? And which dystopian future are you in? These are the best cars in all of sci-fi.

I don't know if Josh Holloway's character in Intelligence has a chip on his shoulder, but he definitely has a chip in his head — a microchip! (See what I did there?) Holloway plays a soldier whose brain has access to the "global information grid" in CBS' new scifi action series.

So many musicians are fans of science fiction it can be hard to keep track. But there are bands that take it a step further — bands that actually consist of aliens, robots, time travelers and other creatures. Here are 11 bands that don’t just like scifi, they are scifi.

I wouldn't say I was at all optimistic that M. Night Shyamalan would ever make a decent movie again after the Airbender debacle, but I did assume he knew the theory of evolution. I guess not, though.
