I know that the gen on Bad Wolf is out there on the web – we’re hooked on the new incarnation of Doctor Who these days, and we’ve been managing to avoid spoilage up til now. There are some things I do know, and so I’m not happy to see the end of Series One, but then on the other hand, the previews for the 2nd part of the series final. Oh, and I loves me some old-school Evil Adversaries. All the hints throughout this season seem to be about to bear fruit. Shiny, menacing, electrically charged fruit.

I can’t decide if this is a crazy idea, or yet another Kirk Maneuver; just crazy enough to work: The Seattle Times: Horses can help disabled kids JERUSALEM — The captain who dared to “boldly go where no man has gone before” has targeted a new destination: William Shatner believes he can contribute to Middle East peace by helping disabled children through horseback riding. The former “Star Trek” actor was in Israel on Monday to promote “therapeutic riding.” He hopes to raise $10 million for nearly 30 riding programs in the country. Shatner said that placing injured people on horseback…

Dog has his day despite tragedy | Chicago Tribune HONOLULU — Duane “Dog” Chapman, star of A&E’s reality show “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” has married his longtime sidekick, Beth Smith. The sunset ceremony on the Big Island took place Saturday, a day after the death of Chapman’s daughter. Barbara Katy Chapman, 23, was killed in a car accident near her home of Fairbanks, Alaska. Okay, first of all, that’s pretty sad. Trainwreck though their lives may be, losing a child on is bad enough, I have to confess that I occasionally watch “Dog The Bounty Hunter.” I know all about…

Oh, happy, happy, joy joy! I am just busting with glee over the spoilers in the link below to the SciFi channel site. It concerns: season 2, which is airing in Britain but won’t air here for a long time, and major characters. I will only say, DO NOT CLICK on the link unless you want to be spoiled about next season, and in particular about one specific episode next season. I’m not even going to hint. Sci Fi Wire — The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel I will just say, though, that I’m a long-time fan, and……

Okay, it’s been that kind of week. They screw with things at work, they screw with things on my show. So here it is Wednesday at 7pm, time to watch Amazing Race in its new! Amazing! Timeslot! and see if I can keep up “live,” or if I need a bevvy assist. Tonight’s beverage of choice: Sea Dog Special Brew Blueberry Wheat Beer. Don’t laugh, it’s quite tasty and refreshing, and the doggy on the label is wearing the cutest li’l sou’wester hat. Let us begin where the last episode ended – Segesta, Sicily. The pit stop was a beautifully…

Sci Fi Wire — The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel The 200th episode will bring back the character of Martin Lloyd (Willy Garson) and his fictional TV show Wormhole X-treme, which was the subject of the 100th episode, “Wormhole X-treme,” and is a parody of SG-1 itself. Awesome. They’re even doing a wink and a hat-tip in Serenity’s direction. Look for more inside jokes. My favorite last time out was after the big exciting spaceship crash, where an assistant director and somebody else walk into shot, discussing the near-cataclysm and whether they caught it on film. “That’s OK,…

My husband David and I were catching up on some shows a lot this past week, now that TiVo II has arrived and made life liveable again. We were watching the end of “Criminal Minds” tonight, which was an episode called “A Real Rain.” It ended badly for the “unsub,” the unknown subject of this week’s exercise in profiling to catch the bad guy. As it ended, a gurney loaded with a body bag is taken away from the scene, shot from the middle distance. Distinctive, sad guitar chords began to play, and instantly I knew it was Jeff Buckley’s…

A Doctor Who spinoff featuring a character we haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet is set to start in Britain Sci Fi Wire — The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel Davies added: “He’s a bisexual con man. Hooray! We need more bisexual con men on our television screens, I think, don’t you think? Bisexual con men from the 53rd century, what could be better? He was so enormously successful that we’ve created a spinoff for him.” Well, alrighty then! This gives us something to look forward to – this character apparently shows up for a five-episode story…

An old Highlander fan buddy sent me this link. I’m going to have to send it to the “big list,” where we’re all discussing SG-1 anyway. YouTube – The Star Gate Cantina I dare you not to laugh when the third verse starts: “His name was Yoda, he was a Muppet…”
