Skynet and its army of Terminator WILL BE BACK! But not by way of the moron that put out Terminator 4 (aka Terminator Salvation).
According to a report on Deadline Hollywood, there is now a 24-page treatment for Terminator 5, and a 4-page concept outline for Terminator 6.
The 2-picture construct takes place in a post-apocalyptic battleground, and factors in an element of time travel that allows for Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese to interact beyond their single fateful meeting when he traveled back in time to protect her in the original film. Wisher has created a role for Arnold Schwarzenegger that is as surprising as his shift from villain in the first film, to John Connor’s bodyguard in the second. Schwarzenegger wouldn’t be needed until the final film, which wouldn’t shoot until after he ends his term as California Governor. And who wouldn’t want to see Linda Hamilton back in aerobic top fitness form as Sarah Connor?

I don’t know what’s up with this trend for having women from SciFi shows posing in risque positions for men’s magazines.
The latest actress is Fringe’s Agent Olivia Dunham – played by actress Anna Torv.
In this month’s esquire she got a whole spread of topless pics – while wearing mens thermal underwear.
Why? is it really that cold on the set of Fringe?
We don’t know – but if you’re interested –
Here’s the link at Esquire to see the whole thing.

Chad Vader is Back for Season 3!!
The first episode is ok – funny but not ROFL funny. Chad needs to pick a day shift manager for the day and can’t decide.
So he installs a surveillance cam – that looks like a Death Star with a feed that goes directly to his helmet – good fun.
Star Trek: The Sexed Generation – Funny Mashup of TNG February 9, 2010

We really miss Star Trek The Next Generation – there really isn’t a SciFi show on TV now that even comes close.
Today one of the top stories on Digg was a mashup video of some TNG goodness.
Yes the ‘words’ are taken out of context – but not always.
And oh yeah there is a full 2 minutes of nothing but Star Trek TNG explosions, from Borg to Klingons to Federation and everything in between that got blown up in that show.
It’s a real ‘blast’ to say the least.
Caprica’s Zoe Greystone aka Alessandra Torresani Gets (near) Naked for Maxim – but lots of airbrush support February 8, 2010

We’re still figuring out Caprica – and Zoe Greystone played by actress Alexxandra Torresani.
Torresani managed to find the time to pose for Maxim – in some of the most airbrushed pics we’ve ever seen. It’s not clear how much is actually the actress and how much is just photoshop.
Still – they’re great pics – though Zoe thinks she looks fine as a cylon – and if these pics are any clue she sure is one hot cylon.
Check out all the pics – NSFW – over at Maxim.com
Caprica : Who is Alpha? Soliders of the One February 7, 2010

Third episode of Caprica – gives us more insight into the mysterious Soliders of the One (STO) – and their leader.
ALPHA
Is Alpha a Cylon? of course he is, because Daniel Greystone is a cylon one of the final 5 or final 7 – the missing link that Battlestar Galactica never showed us — though we know that there was a human-looking cylon called Daniel.
Overall a decent episode, lots of depth to it, Adama and his brother are interesting , but it’s the soliders of the one that are the key here..
Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) is Hawkman ! Absolute Justice! What a great performance!! February 5, 2010

We normally don’t watch Smallville
– actually we never do and this is the first time in five years of this site that we’ve ever written about the show.
But tonight’s episode was a little different.
Michael Shanks – best known as Dr. Daniel Jackson on Stargate – joined the Smallville cast as Hawkman!
To say he was an awesome would be an understatement.
Shanks played a dark troubled character with a degree of gravitas and intensity that was worthy of an Academy Award (if this were a movie). He was great as Dr. Jackson, but as Hawkman he is MAGNIFICENT.
The whole episode – titled Absolute Justice – was incredible and better than any other scifi show we’ve seen this year.

Last we saw Doctor Rush he was abandoned by the Destiny – left for dead.
Sure we know he’s coming back — there was that alien ship there after all – but how? (and yes we know that Eli knows the truth too or does he?)
Now the people at MGM have put together a FANTASTIC idea for a content – a Write your own comic contest – of what will happen to Dr. Rush.
So far there are a few interesting entries – and yeah we’re going to give it a shot too.
After all like the people at Dark Horse say – “We Love Comics!!”
Caprica episode 3 Preview: Reins of A Waterfall February 4, 2010

New episode of Caprica is on Friday night and SyFy now has a sneak peak video up.
ummmmmmmmmmmm dumb question but aren’t trailers supposed to be exciting?
Caprica has potential, but unless this show kicks up the intensity a few notches it won’t live as long as its successor Battlestar Galactica

Fringe – Olivia Knows Peter is from the OTHER side February 4, 2010

So at long last Olivia know has the power to see things from the other side…
and months after the rest of us…
She finally knows that Peter doesn’t belong.
Big question of course now is what will she do about it?
I suspect that at some point SOON Peter will find out.
The thing that bothers me the most about Peter being from another universe is the fact that there is also another Walter Bishop – didn’t that Walter Bishop then loose his son too?
Star Trek Online Now Online – but it’ll cost you $150 a year to play! February 3, 2010

Star Trek Online
Amazon has the game for just under $50 -which is not bad BUT be warned fellow MMORG newbies – you need to pay a monthly fee too.
In all that monthly fee – even at the best current rate will still cost you over $150 a year – which means if you want to play Star Trek Online for the next twelve months it will actually cost you at least $200 ($50 for the game and $150 for the online subscription).
We’re not fans of monthly subscriptions. We are fans of star trek. Atari must be run by the Ferengi or something.
Gameplay though looks awesome – and Zachary Quinto (aka New Spock) is in the game too – though watch the video below where he explains his role -and how he’s not really a gamer himself since he has a life.

Caprica Rebirth – Zoey Graystone is a Terrorist February 1, 2010

Finally!! the first ‘real’ episode of Caprica – after the pilot movie. Rebirth
How could Daniel Greystone not put 1+1 together to see that the prototype cylon had the Zoey Avatar in it?
That aside it was cool to have the cylon/Zoe mix how she sees herself and how the world does.
The whole thing with Adama’s uncle – the Tauron crook was kinda neat too. The elder Adama had only a bit part in this episode though.
and of course the finale was solid – i wonder how Greystone’s stock will do now?
Final Episode of Dollhouse (Epitaph 2) SUCKED !! January 30, 2010

The last three or four final episode of Dollhouse have been awesome — the second last episode – (The Hollow Men
The FINAL episode – in very stark contrast – TOTALLY SUCKED.
This is one of the worst episodes, if no the worst episode in the whole two year history of Dollhouse. WTF was Joss thinking?
Yeeah cool to see the future world where everyone has been wiped –but there was little action and even less drama or plot in this episode. The only thing mildly interesting was the shockingly quick death of Agent Paul Ballard.
Beyond that this made no sense – Alpha as the keeper of the dollhouse? huh? the whole thing with Victor and Pria was overdone – Is it Caroline or Echo? and what was Neuropolis?
Some questions for sure — but the overall pacing was wrong and this was a major disappointment for us. After the fantastic second-last episode where Boyd is revealed (and blown up), this was a major let down.
Overall, Dollhouse was a brilliant concept show with some very intriguing episodes and some memorable characters. It did however have more holes in it than swiss cheese and this final episode has left us with a really foul taste in our mouth.
Stargate Universe Needs Our Help to Improve the Show January 28, 2010

SGU Producer Joe Mallozzi WANTS our opinion – the opinion of the fans for what we want to see.
So, as we prep for the show’s second season – and keeping in mind you haven’t seen the more action-oriented back half of season one – I’d like to know:
1. Which character would you like to see explored more?
2. What aspect of the show would you like to see exploited more?
3. What aspect of the show would prefer to see minimized?
4. What was your favorite “story moment” from the first half of SGU’s first season?
5. What element (I’m leaving this one wide open) would you like to see added to the series as a whole?
K so here’s our ideas:
1. Which character would you like to see explored more? Eli! he’s the best character on the show. Though it might be fun to see a minor character a person that we’ve never seen before emerge to be interesting too – a wrong person, wrong place thing.
2. What aspect of the show would you like to see exploited more?
-The ship! we’ve barely seen the ship so far.
3. What aspect of the show would prefer to see minimized?
-the stones and the trips back to Earth – it was fun for a bit – now it’s just dumb.
4. What was your favorite “story moment” from the first half of SGU’s first season?
-fav story moment was in the loop episode where the crew realize that everything has already happened and will happen again.
5. What element (I’m leaving this one wide open) would you like to see added to the series as a whole?
-G’hould! Wraith! some familiar enemy
iPad Idea Comes from Star Trek January 28, 2010

Think Steve Jobs is a genius? He might be..but he’s also a Star Trek fan.
All you need to do is watch an episode of Star Trek – classic, next gen, DS9 or Voyager and you’ll see..
yup
PADDs everywhere.
They’re not a new idea and we’ve seen them since the 1960’s.
Officially speaking – “PADD” is an acronym for Personal Access Display Device.
So Apple’s iPad is a wrip off from Star Trek – CBS and the Roddenberry Estate SHOULD get the credit.

Last night’s Fringe was much like the one the week before it…mediocre.
Another virus type thing..ppl get sick and Walter has to save the day.

Where is the pattern?
Where is the multi-verse and warriors from the other side?
Where is the drama that actually made us like this show?
And Another Thing – Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Book Six – one Word Review – Froody January 18, 2010

And Another Thing Review – Froody
We’re big fans of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy here at ShowMeSciFi.com – and we’ve been hesitant to pick up book six – And Another Thing…
As it turns out – and another thing – is feckin Froody.
No it’s not a Douglas Adams masterpiece, but it is good fun and an enjoyable read.
The story picks up where the last one left off, with the destruction of the Earth (yet again). And yeaah Zaphod, yet again helps Arthur and Ford out.
The characters are much the same as Adams left them and Eoin Colfer does an admirable job of keeping them alive – even as the Vogons try and eliminate them.
The return of Wowbager – the alien that goes around insulting people is neat – but wowbagger just doesn’t have the same edge he did under Adams authorship — but then again it’s still fun.
We see Thor – the Thunder God – return and a really fun visit by Zaphod to the Aesir that we laughed our way through. The ‘second Earth’ Nano plotline in this book was also alot of fun and well written.
Throughout it all, we – and Arthur – miss his beloved Fennchurch – but she keeps popping up in …different way. Especially at the end, which in our view was a stroke of complete brillance.
That’s the good – the bad – which does exist in this book – comes in the form of the guide entries – which aren’t written like Guide entries – and just come off as being ..well..STOOPID. After the third or fourth guide entry that appears in this book, we actually started to just skip them altogether –which in our view made the book better and more enjoyable to read.
hitchhikers books have never been known for keeping consistent plotlines – but there are a few things that we would have liked to have seen. For one, the new MarkII Guide makes an appearance at the beginning of the book and then just goes away…that’s dumb.
The Guide itself has been taken over by Vogons (from the last book) but somehow Ford is still writing for them and little if any mention is made of how the Vogons have changed the book – that’s a real flaw in our view.
All in all though, this is a fun book and we’re glad that we had the opporunity to read it. It brings us back to that FROODY universe that Douglas Adams introduced us too 30 years ago and reminds us why we miss him so very much.
Dollhouse – Rossum/Boyd is Dead – one episode to go January 17, 2010

After last week’s revelation that Boyd – flipping Boyd!! – is the head of Rossum – we knew that this week’s episode (The Hollow Men
What an amazing episode – as all the major characters come to realize how Boyd played EVERYONE (including us the fans). What a total shocker.
The way he manipulated Topher to fix the automatic imprinter was also amazing..
And of course the sheer irony of the end of Boyd and Rossum – destroyed by the very tech they manipulated Topher to fix.
“Did I fall asleep?” Boyd asked Echo…that was great wasn’t it?
“I always try and be my best” Boyd said with the grenade in hand. How brilliantly ironic a final stroke was that??
If this had been the last episode of Dollhouse – it might have been enough for us. Rossum is done, Dollhouse is destroyed..
But wait it’s not…
We’ve got the finale still to come – the Epitaph.
Alpha is also still running wild and oh yeah all the other dollhouses and copies of the Rossum founders too.
What is amazing is how Dollhouse has come full circle from the first episode in what has become a really complete series. Sure we would have like to have seen Dollhouse continue on for a few years more, but the way that Whedon has managed to tie things together, surprise us and amaze us is totally outstanding.

Johari Window
freaks hidden behind sound waves? interesting idea..
and really interesting to see how Walter has developed a friendship with Astrid too.
Agent Broiles also isnt’ the hard nosed cop he appears to be – he’s clearly willing to help people too.
Now what does any of this have to do with the pattern and or the trans-dimensional rift?
Nothing
but it was fun one-off episode
