At SFX Magazine:
(Please follow the link for the complete table of contents.)
SFX Issue 198
24/06/2010
Our blindingly early 2011 preview, Inception and a look back at Firefly in the stonking new issue
Profiles
David Blue talks about his role as Eli in Stargate Universe and his hopes for the evolution of the character; Paul Cornell talks to Rob Williams about his new contract with DC on Action Comics, and Pixar good luck charm John Ratzenberger talks about his rise to fame through appearances in The Empire Strikes Back to his latest Toy Story 3.
Shhh, it’s Inception
The trailers for Christopher Nolan’s Inception are leaving everyone with questions. Well, here’s a set of 20 things you need to know about Inception to get you started before the film’s release on 16 July.
2011 Preview
With the rest of 2010 (Inception and Tron aside) looking like a washout we take a look at 2011’s top 11 films, with Thor, Captain America, The Green Lantern, and more. It’s everything you need to know about the next 12 months at the movies and everything you’ll want to avoid (Stretch Armstrong anyone?)
The Summer Of SF Reading
The third and final part of our look into the 100 greatest SF and Fantasy authors around, with a special on William Gibson’s Neuromancer, and this month’s Book Club Lord Of Light by Roger Zelazny.
... Retro Features
We rewind back this issue to 2002 for a look back at the tragically short lived Firefly, taking a look at the best episodes, the best quotes, and delving into some little known trivia about the series. We also use our Time Machine to take a look at Sam Raimi’s 1981 video nasty The Evil Dead, with Bruce Campbell revealing some interesting facts on the creation of the film.
Don’t Miss:
Wishlist: Avatar 2 – We break it down for Cameron here, and tell him what he needs to do in Avatar 2 (and what NOT to do), to make it a great sequel.
Spoiler Zone: Ashes To Ashes! Doctor Who! FlashForward! Fringe! Lost! Medium! Smallville! Stargate Universe! V! Oh my!
Big Shot: No Ordinary Family – the spiritual successor to Heroes, taking a Fantastic Four style approach to the superhero drama. Only right that it stars Michael Chiklis then.
* Merlin season three heads up this month’s Red Alert. Just tell Arthur your ruddy secret already!
* Although season five should have been the end for Supernatural the fact that it’s: a)brilliant and b) incredibly popular means that we have a whole bonus year with the Winchester Brothers to look forward to. Eric Kripke and Sera Gamble talk about the future of the show.
* Stargate Universe season two is filming as we speak! SFX has news on the latest addition to the cast – new villain Robert Knepper.
* Andy Diggle takes on Daredevil in this summer’s Shadowland crossover mini-series.
* Luke Skywalker himself Mark Hamill gets behind the camera for the movie adaptation of his comic book The Black Pearl. We speak to the former Jedi.
* Dark Horse re-launches Doctor Solar, Man Of The Atom in July, with Magnus following soon after. Get the inside scoop in the latest issue.
* The Doctor is going on tour with Doctor Who Live, featuring favourite aliens from New Who.
* First word on the third season of Sanctuary from show creator Damian Kindler
Rated: Splice, Shrek Forever After, Warehouse 13, The Crazies, The Lovely Bones, The Restoration Game, Doctor Who: City of the Daleks and Demon’s Souls all come under SFX’s mighty hammer of review justice.

At GateWorld:
GateWorld Podcast: SGU Season One Recap
Wednesday - June 23, 2010
by Darren Sumner
Visit the GateWorld Podcast page for more about the show!
The freshman season of Stargate Universe is complete! In this week’s podcast, GateWorld’s Darren and David will look at the first year of SGU as a whole and discuss what we thought worked. How did the second half of the season compare to the first half? Character drama, alien threats, separation from home, communication stones, and more — it’s all on the table as we dissect Season One and decide if it lived up to our own expectations.
But first, we’ll also be talking about the news of writer-producer Robert C. Cooper’s departure from Stargate.
If you are a fan of Doctor Who, stick around after the show for a bonus discussion! Darren has picked three episodes for David to watch, and this week David will give us his newbie take on the show and whether he’s been convinced to keep watching.

Stargate Universe - SFX Magazine Issue #196 - Alaina Huffman Interview
SFX Magazine (UK) Issue 196
(Please follow the link for the complete issue description.)
SFX Issue 196
Terry Pratchett guest edits as we shine the spotlight on the fearless females taking over British telly
Guest Edited By Terry Pratchett
Yep, you read that right. The one and only Terry Pratchett has taken over SFX for one month only to help us launch the Summer Of SF Reading in rib-ticklingly irreverent style. This isn’t your average name-on-the-cover kind of job though, Sir Terry has contributed to all sections of the magazine from his hilarious Ed Zone to a “We Love SF” dedicated to Oblivion modding.
Who’s In Charge
Hmm, has anyone else noticed the brilliant female roles in some of our favourite British Sci-fi shows at the moment? Well we did so we only went and interviewed six of the best from the likes of Doctor Who, Merlin, Misfits and Being Human. Boys, who needs ‘em?
A Nightmare On Elm Street
The remake hits screens in little over a week, so we risk insomnia and mental psychosis to bring you the man behind the knives. Includes a chat with pizza face himself Jackie Earle Haley and the five freakiest Freddy moments.
Profiles
He’s a former vampire, time agent and alien brain-box but James Marsters can currently be found blowing stuff up and terrorizing little girls on Caprica, we have words. Stargate Universe’s TJ, Alaina Huffman, also jumps through the wormhole for a chat and author Adam Roberts talks New Model Army.
Stargate Universe's Alaina Huffman Teaser Interview:
The actress who plays TJ reckons she was in a similar position to her character
when she joined the franchise
In an exclusive interview in the new SFX (out next Wednesday), actress Alaina Huffman, who plays First Lieutenant Tamara "TJ" Johansen in the latest Stargate spin-off, Universe, reveals how she felt that she was in a similar position to her character – initially overwhelmed by the situation she found herself in. Especially as regards the negative reactions to the show and her character from some corners of the Stargate fanbase.

Especially as regards the negative reactions to the show and her character from some corners of the Stargate fanbase.
"I think initially some of us paid a little too much attention to the blogs and the fanbase," she says. "We had to learn for ourselves not to listen to that because it can be really horrible. They can be really mean. But people are entitled to their opinions… I thought it was a positive that these characters are growing and developing. I know it is different from the Stargate brand, since we are all not sure of ourselves, but I think it's more representative of the truth, to be quite honest. I think all of us in life are in a position to grow and it can be overwhelming. As a person I am starting this new show with a huge fanbase and it's got its grip on the world. I can definitely relate to TJ. She goes into it saying, `I know I can do it and I know I am good at what I do but this is really overwhelming.' I don't think that takes away from her strength at all. I think in fact all of the bones are there but she just has to muscle up and that's representative of all the characters."

Battlestar / Doctor Who / Star Trek - Total SciFi: Contest - Vote for Favorite SciFi TV Theme Tune
At Total SciFi:
(Please follow the link for complete contest information.)
Vote for your favourite sci-fi TV theme tune – and win great prizes!
From the Theremin-laced tunes of the 1950s to the current trend for more subtle, evocative title music, science fiction shows have given us some truly great theme tunes.
But what is the greatest sci-fi theme tune ever written? Just trying to whittle it down to 10 candidates proved difficult enough, and there are undoubtedly some strong contenders that haven’t made the cut.
Where, we hear you cry, is Knight Rider? Or Stingray? Or Lost in Space? Or Buck Rogers in the 25th Century? Or Enterprise? OK, maybe not Enterprise…
However, after several hours of screaming, pushing and sumo-wrestling, we have finally agreed on the following shortlist of 10 candidates. All are theme tunes that are both influential and instantly hummable, and reflect the broad range of theme tunes from the history of SF television, from The Twilight Zone and Star Trek right through to the recent reboot of Battlestar Galactica.
Now we want readers to let us know which is their all-time favourite theme tune from the shortlist below. And as an added incentive, one lucky random winner will bag a cinema voucher, a subscription to the Titan Magazines title of their choice and a goody bag. Your vote counts!
SCI-FI THEME TUNES: THE SHORTLIST
1) Battlestar Galactica (remake)
2) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
3) Doctor Who
4) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
5) Quantum Leap
6) Red Dwarf
7) Star Trek (Original Series)
8) Thunderbirds
9) The Twilight Zone
10) The X-Files
