sign of the apocalypse No 1: the threatening Courtney Stodden/Doug Hutchinson reality show

Wed, Aug 24, 2011

question of the day: Is J.J. Abrams being a troll when he says, “If you’re so smart, you come up with a better ending for ‘Lost’”?

question of the day: How can ‘NCIS,’ the most-watched, most-loved TV show in America, be so absent from online fandom?

question of the day: Is it a good idea for TV and film writers to incorporate fan input into their projects?

Thu, Apr 07, 2011

Star Trek writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have said that they plan to heed some suggestions from fans as they write the sequels. Oh, dear. I’m not sure how wise this is…

I’m still mad about the end of Lost, but this makes me feel a little better.
