TFA Episode 6 – Sci Fi/Horror Shows We Miss and The River/Captain Jack Who Spinoff

Okay, so better late than never – right? TFA Episode 6 is coming at you with our biggest show ever. While sometimes bigger doesn’t mean better – in this case it most certainly is. We give you the news of the weird with testicle eating Fish and an ex-CIA agent claiming the Roswell Crash was really extra-terrestrial (no duh).  We give you the skinny on just which villain Benedict Cumberbatch is playing in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek 2. Rita accuses JC of crushing on the naked Nathan Fillion (of Firefly). Rita goes bonkers for the return of Sailor Moon. We also give our review of the new hit film The Amazing Spider-Man.

Then we go off the deep end, talking about Sci-Fi and Horror shows that are no longer on the air and we miss dearly (Yes Firefly, Stargate SG-1 and Buffy are on the list – among many others).

We have a new segment this week – the Retro Review – where we’ll give a new review of old tv shows and movies. In our Transmissions Received segment, we have best selling author of the Wool series, Hugh Howey in for a chat on remarkable trip to the top of the Amazon Best Seller charts as an independent author.

Rita goes Harry Potter nutzo as we review the book series in Rita’s Reading Review and preview Ascendio 2012 – the Con later this week in Orlando, Florida.

We have more naked John Barrowman (Torchwood) discussion, could River and Captain Jack end up in a spinoff series (we had it first)? Plus other Doctor Who news.

We wrap up this marathon session by reviewing the last two episodes of True Blood.

We are packed to the gills…watch out!

The schedule and links are after the jump!

Beauty And The Beast To Return To TV?

By Dave Golder, SFX.com

The CW network in the States is developing a reboot of the classic telefantasy series Beauty And The Beast, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The original series, which ran for three series from 1987, starred Linda Hamilton as Catherine and Ron Perlman as Vincent, the sewer-dwelling beast. It was part police procedural part romance, and very popular. It was created by Ron Koslow and, trivia hounds, listed George RR Martin (Game Of Thrones) among its writers and producers.

Emma Watson And Guillermo Del Toro, Together At Last, For Beauty And The Beast

by Hannah Shaw-Williams, Bleeding Cool.com
It’s official: the fairy tale adaptation is, like, so hot right now. Not only are we facing two productions of Snow White from Universal Pictures and Relativity Media, we’re also in for yet another adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.

Daniel Barnz’s bland tweeny Twilight-esque modern retelling Beastly is barely cold in its extremely shallow grave but already Guillermo Del Torro is planning another adaptation with Harry Potter star Emma Watson as the leading lady. In an interview with Coming Soon, producer Denise Di Novi revealed that she’ll be working on the project with Del Toro, but those three names are the only real details we have so far.
