- Ah, the canceled TV series that leaves the whole show on a cliffhanger! A pretty decent list. Some of these — like Odyssey 5 — still kinda haunt me.
- NBC’s highly-hyped The Event disappointed in the ratings.
- Oh, my Lord, they’re talking about a third movie in the Bill & Ted (Excellent Adventure) series. As anti-sequel as I am, I actually think it could be kinda meta after all these years (not to mention after Reeves starring in The Matrix).
- The unstoppable folks over at Save Our Seeker are working on a campaign to get the People’s Choice Award to include a new fantasy-related category (which, of course, they hope Legend of the Seeker would win). Go, SOS!
- Please, God, not another Godzilla reboot. But apparently he’s fighting other monsters. They don’t say who, but Mothra seems like a given, right?
- Firefly re-imagined as a musical, below. The browncoats will truly never die, will they?
- Orson Scott Card is an unmitigated bigot, but Ender’s Game is still a great book — and it looks like the movie version might finally happen.
- The most (only?) interesting thing about the Hulk movie franchise is, and always has been, the behind-the-scenes drama. Edward Norton is the latest to speak out, about not being cast in the upcoming The Avengers. It was all about greed, he says.
- Twenty “epic” failures in TV sci-fi/fantasy. Damn, there’s been a lot of crappy sci-fi/fantasy! But it still seems weird to have a list that includes both Firefly and the horrible Bionic Woman reboot.
- After being knighted last year, Terry Pratchett made his own sword. Out of meteorites. Which is just so beyond cool:

Browncoats Forever!!!
NOWHERE MAN!!! It’s been almost 15 years and I’m still pissed about that one!!
Glad they included Surface. I loved that show and was REALLY interested in where it was going.
And I miss Firefly.
After reading the article on the Godzilla reboot, I’m torn. I’m still trying to repress the awful 1998 movie. And when I want to see a good Godzilla movie, I usually just re-watch the original 1954 Godzilla or the 1985 The Return of Godzilla. With English subtitles, no dubbed English & no Raymond Burr!
It does look like the new producers are going to try & be closer to the original Godzilla. Which is encouraging. But I’ve been burned enough in the past to be skeptical of such attempts. Plus, Godzilla is meant to be portrayed by an actor in a rubber suit, not CGI! :)
TOTALLY agree on the “rubber suit” issue.
