Who knew there was this much raunch in Syfy's adaptation of Philip José Farmer's Riverworld books? Tahmoh Penikett is naked/in bondage, while another character practices Kama Sutra on Mark Twain's steamboat. This weekend's Riverworld promises to be quite the experience.

Strap us in and color us blue with excitement: the first stills from Syfy's adaptation of Philip José Farmer's Riverworld series are out. They're full of shirtlessness, cleavage and blue Alan Cumming. Pop in your dreamgum, and check them out.

A faithful adaptation of Philip José Farmer's Riverworld novels would be nigh impossible, but the Syfy Channel's upcoming Riverworld miniseries plans to veer off into such uncharted waters that readers may not recognize it.

Dollhouse and Battlestar Galactica star Tahmoh Penikett has landed another major science fiction role, this time in a TV-movie adaptation of Philip José Farmer's Riverworld, as the Syfy Channel attempts to replace, well…BSG, mostly.

"Roll it, Clip Man!" Joss Whedon exclaimed as soon as he sat down in the NYCC screening theater. What he and Tahmoh Penikett had to show us was, in a word, hot. Spoilers!

We're not saying that new Joss Whedon show Dollhouse is going to be confusing or anything, but a recent interview with star Tahmoh Penikett suggests that attention may need to be paid, nonetheless.
