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 »

Latest by fluxfire: Is Big Bang Theory Science Fiction? Maybe in the same ways the British comedy Spaced was. No it's not technically scifi, but there is a love and appreciation for all things scifi in it. 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 »

Lex Luthor Leaves Smallville, Makes Way For Two New Villains
Lex Luthor must be out of diabolical plots, because actor Michael Rosenbaum will no longer be a part of the CW series Smallville. After seven long years of tirelessly love/hating Clark Kent, mysterious trips around the world, obsessions over the meteor shower and opulent gestures, Lex is taking a break. What new characters will step into his shiny bald shoes? Details after the jump. More »

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 »

Is Optimus Prime Getting A Makeover In Transformers 2? See For Yourself

And then there are tons of new details about upcoming Lost episodes, and three new clips. And some Doctor Who filming pics. Plus minor Heroes spoilers, and some new Smallville stills.

Lost Returns With Extra-Violent Goodness!
Lost is back once again, wrapping up its fourth season with a block of six hours (over five nights). And the first new installment looks to be the most violent in ages.

See Inside Indiana Jones' Forbidden Temple
It turns out spoilers don't just give Steven Spielberg an ulcer, they're also illegal — or at least that's what Warner Bros. tried to claim in a high-profile legal case last week. So now you can revel in your status as a dashing lawbreaker, while you take in a ton of new Indiana Jones photos — including the interior of a weird-looking ancient building that could have something to do with that crystal skull. Also, there are new stills from The Happening. Plus, find out what to expect from Heroes, Lost, Doctor Who, Smallville and the Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica. More »

Upcoming Events In Lost And Battlestar Are Guaranteed To Piss You Off
Sigourney Weaver's character in James Cameron's new movie Avatar is based on the most unlikely source possible. And that's not the only movie that has some surprises in store: the Greatest American Hero remake will take some weird liberties with the source material. And Dragonball may commit the ultimate sacrilege. Meanwhile, there are rumors of some developments on Lost and Battlestar Galactica that are guaranteed to upset the fans. All this, plus some hints for Doctor Who, Love Story 2050, Smallville and Star Trek. Your spoiler space begins and ends right here. More »

Read Michael Chabon's Script for Spider-Man 2
Michael Chabon wrote one of the smartest explorations of superheroes in his Pulitzer-winning The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, so it was exciting news when he agreed to write the script for Spider-Man 2. Unfortunately, some studio execs, in their wisdom, decided to bring in some other writers, including Smallville co-creators Al Gough and Miles Millar, to revamp Chabon's script. Now David Eggers' literary magazine McSweeney's has put Chabon's original version online, as a free PDF, for a limited time. We compared Chabon's draft with what ended up on screen. And not surprisingly, everything that was good about Spider-Man 2 is in the Chabon version, and a whole lot more besides. More »

TV This Week: Doctor Who, Ben 10 And Smallville
There's actually a lot of great science fiction TV coming up — unfortunately, it's almost all at the end of the week. Doctor Who returns to the Sci Fi Channel, Ben 10 starts a new series with a more grown-up hero, and Smallville comes back from hiatus with an episode that will change everything. (Or at least some things.) There are also new Battlestar, Sarah Jane and Torchwood episodes for American viewers. But what can you do to pass the time until Thursday comes around? We've got you covered, with possibly the most ridiculous time-travel show of all time, plus UFO dogfights. Minor spoilers ahead. More »

The Dark Knight Scene So Shocking, You May Never See It

Tons Of New Wall-E Details, Plus New Dark Knight Video!
It's spoiler overload once again. We've got a synopsis of the first half hour of Wall-E, and a video that shows a new character from Batman: The Dark Knight in action.

Smallville Gets Just A Little Bit Smaller
Smallville's creators and executive producers, Al Gough and Miles Millar, have joined stars Michael Rosenbaum and Kristen Kreuk in bailing out of the show's eighth season. This raises the chances that the next (final?) season of The CW's top-rated scripted series will be a Bizarro World reflection of its earlier self. In other news, Heroes season three will start with a one-hour special, followed by a two-hour premier episode... but the prequel spin-off, Heroes: Origins, is officially dead.
