Last season, Sanctuary [Syfy, Fridays, 10/9C] made the movie from webisodes to full blown television series – impressing a lot of people along the way. Its first season ended with a cliffhanger that was a real mindblower: the discovery that Helen Magnus’ daughter, Ashley, had been turned into a superweapon under the control [and through […]

TELEVISION REVIEW: Stargate Universe – Billions and Billions of Lightyears From Home!
Stargate Universe [Syfy, Fridays, 9/8C] premieres this evening with the first two hours of a three-hour introduction to the Stargate universe’s darkest and potentially most mature series, thus far.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to take part in a conference call Q&A session for Stargate Universe [Syfy, Friday, 9/8C]. The Q&A was supposed to be with David Blue and Brian J.

DVD REVIEW: Sanctuary: The Complete First Season – Myths and Legends Come to Life!
Sanctuary is a science fiction show that postulates that the creatures of legend, myth and nightmare really exist – that “here be monsters” is not hyperbole. It’s an ambitious series, technically, being shot with the RED camera [the current top of the line digital camera] against a great deal of green screen – in the […]
HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: Josh Gates Spills The Beans on Spooky Happenings on Destination Truth!
Destination: Truth [Syfy, Wednesday, 10 p.m.] returns for its third season and host Josh Gates, host/explorer/photographer and all round genial nice guy agreed to talk about the show’s premiere – and much, much more – with a number of journalists/bloggers from a unique cross-section of web sites ranging from travel writers to sci-fi bloggers.

TV REVIEW: Destination: Truth Opens Season Three With A Real Rush!
While reality TV generally gets a thumbs down from me, Destination: Truth [Syfy, Wednesday, 10 p.m.] is not your average reality. Sure, they investigate legendary and mythological creatures, but they do so by actually traveling to the homes of these creatures – and the travel part of the series can a lot of fun and […]
