Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Okay, so not the fun movie about PTSD we’ve been waiting for. Though surely it’s only a matter of time before Hollywood gives us that. Perhaps that’ll be the Iraq war movie people will go see. People used to not mind being depressed or provoked or both … more…
Are you familiar with the blog Bad Astronomy? It’s where, in part, astronomer Phil Plait dissects how TV and film get the science wrong in their science fiction, and even sometimes in their science “fact,” as when he rips apart alien-abduction and moon-landing-hoax “documentaries.” Now, as Web Newser reports (and as Plait himself posted the … more…
I’m reading people’s tweets and Facebook updates about “A Study in Pink” — awesome awesome title — and feeling like I’m going to explode with the waiting. It’s so fluffy I’m gonna die.

It’s a fez. He wears a fez now. Fezzes are cool. Doctor Who: “The Big Bang” airs — finally! — on BBC America tonight. After you’ve caught up (if you haven’t already), join the spoileriffic discussion here. Now comes the long wait till Christmas…
Damn you, Eureka. I had been enjoying Syfy’s Eureka since its beginning a few years ago. It has been perfect Friday-night TV: smart but not overly demanding, the kind of show that didn’t insult my intelligence but allowed me to relax with it. Nice, likeable characters (for the most part, aside from one or two … more…
