The Invaders - Premieres on SciFi Channel Mar 9 '09

Premiering on the SciFi Channel on Monday, March 9, for the 4pm weekday rotation slot, the '67 scifi series, The Invaders, starring Roy Thinnes.

The Invaders: alien beings from a dying planet. Their destination: the Earth. Their purpose: to make it *their* world. David Vincent has seen them. For him, it began one lost night on a lonely country road, looking for a shortcut that he never found. It began with a closed deserted diner, and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey. It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy. Now, David Vincent knows that the Invaders are here, that they have taken human form. Somehow, he must convince a disbelieving world, that the nightmare has already begun...

At Diamond Select Toys:

Toy Fair Preview: Stargate SG-1

The Stargate action figure line has already delivered six assortments (that's over 44 individual figures!) but Diamond Select Toys isn't finished with the intrepid cast of Stargate SG-1 just yet! Previewed here for the first time are some of the stars of the next release - Stargate SG-1 Series 5!

Air Force Jack O'Neill: Featuring O'Neill in his highly decorated US Air Force uniform, a highly requested fan-favorite depiction.



Black Ops Samantha Carter: Joining her previously released "Black Ops" SG-1 teammates, this figure is based on the season 2 premiere "The Serpent's Lair."



Horus Guard: The nefarious cousin to the traditional Serpent Guard, these misguided Jaffa served the family of Ra, including Ra himself and his son Heru'ur.

General George Hammond: At last joining his team in action figure form, the late three-star Lieutenant General is depicted in his US Air Force uniform.



Ba'al: Based on the Season 10 episode "The Quest," the scheming and conniving Ba'al is a former System Lord and the last of the Goa'uld.



As with past releases, each figure in this assortment will be accompanied by pieces of a key Stargate accessory - this time in the form of Stargate Command's armored and weaponized reconnaisance drone, the U.A.V. As a special bonus, a limited case topper figure will also be available from your local comic store in the form of Black Ops Cameron Mitchell.

Joss Whedon: Slayers, Dolls And Singing Villains

by David Bianculli

Fresh Air from WHYY, February 12, 2009 · Joss Whedon's new television show, Dollhouse, follows a group of young women and men who have volunteered to have their personalities and memories erased. Each week, the "dolls" are hired out to fulfill covert missions for rich clients.

Whedon is no stranger to fantasy-based television; he made his reputation with Buffy The Vampire Slayer and its spin-off, Angel, and also created the futuristic fantasy show Firefly, which spawned the film Serenity. Whedon wrote, directed and produced Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, an online music-comedy about an aspiring super-villain.

Battlestar Galactica - Zap2It: Kate Vernon Interview

Kate Vernon (Ellen Tigh)

'Battlestar Galactica's' Final Cylon Is Back This Friday... & She's Talking.

Korbi Ghosh on February 12

When it was revealed last month that Ellen Tigh was Battlestar Galactica's final Cylon, the fan reaction was decidedly mixed. Understandably so. The character had been dead since season three and some viewers felt the last Cylon should be a more prominent player. However, now that we know Ellen is the one, it puts a few of her past actions into perspective, and yet raises several questions at the same time. KTV reporter Marisa Roffman chatted with Kate Vernon -- who comes back to the show tomorrow night -- to get her take on her character's big reveal, how long she's known about it, how long Ellen's known and why, at one point, she thought she'd burned her bridge with Battlestar...

A brief excerpt:

Fans first suspected Ellen might be a Cylon when Tigh started seeing visions of her while interrogating Six. Was that foreshadowing or was he just feeling guilty about his role in Ellen’s death?

I think it’s both. Saul and Ellen have an ancient relationship now. Now that everyone knows who we are, it’s clear that these two people have been connected and involved and married for thousands of years. And they’re very much a part of each other. So for him to mix with another female that is blonde and blue eyed and tall, it was like an overlay of his tremendous guilt for poisoning the woman that he truly loves and who he truly wants. I think it was part of his grieving process. When someone you love dies, you try and let them go and move on with your life, but you can’t help but have this weird holographic memory of your past lover.

Jack Coleman: The Company Man

Posted on Wednesday 11 February 2009

Noah Bennet, otherwise known as HRG (‘horn rimmed glasses’), is definitely one of Heroes’ most fascinating characters. A lot of that is down to Jack Coleman’s terrific performance, with the actor subtly managing to subvert his wholesome looks and calm demeanor to give the character an extra cold-blooded menace. “I think there’s been an evolution in his soul,” he tells Abbie Bernstein.

A brief excerpt:

HRG has displayed some caution in dealing with certain characters before. At this point, are there still people he’d rather not mess with, or is he just taking on everyone?

When he was messing with Nathan Petrelli, that was strictly under Company orders. [Season Three had] an episode where we go back in time a little bit. You see HRG as the Company Man, a guy who was a true believer and determined to do his job and do it right. You see him reading the riot act to Elle about how you’re supposed to behave as an agent and all this kind of stuff, and it’s not until a little further down the pike that you see how, once he realised that they were going to take Claire, and Claire was now going to be a guinea pig for the Company, that’s when everything turned.

So, yes, there are definitely people that HRG would prefer not to screw with, but there’s nobody that he won’t screw with, I think, if he feels that he needs to protect either himself or his family.
