We also talk the Sci-Fi and Horror Super Bowl ads, more on the defunct Superman Lives, and Firefly – how can they bring it back without Wash? We give you our review of Hansel and Gretel, talk up World War Z and give a retro review of Paranorman.

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!

Nathan Fillion is having a Firefly reunion on Castle. Who’s showing up?

The once and future Malcom Reynolds??By Marc Bernardin, Source: Blastr.com

The once and future Malcolm Reynolds has never shied away from dropping little tributes to Joss Whedon’s late, lamented sci-fi western in his current gig on ABC’s hit cop show. But now he’s going to bring more than an old costume … he’s bringing an old cast member.

Since he’s no longer busy grunting at nerds, spies and nerd-spies, Adam Baldwin is going to drop by Castle and Beckett’s precinct for a guest spot playing a cop named Ethan Slaughter. (Of course, that’s his name. I wonder if he was also a sergeant in the Marines before joining the force.) Continue reading

Rejoice, Browncoats! Abandoned Firefly videogame ain’t dead yet

The Crew of Firefly might fly again on your PC or game concil

By Marc Bernardin, Source: Blastr.com

Once upon a time, a game developer thought it’d be a grand idea to make a massively multiplayer online game set in Joss Whedon’s Firefly/Serenity universe that would allow fans to roam the Black, running from the Alliance any way they knew how. Then that developer went under. And yet hope remains.

Multiverse was the company developing the software that would serve as the engine for both a Firefly MMO game as well as one set in the Buffy universe. But early last month, Multiverse shut down, and all work on the games ceased. Continue reading

Nathan Fillion teases ‘Firefly’: Could Netflix bring it back?

It read, “Hmm Hmmmmm HMMMMMM tiny.cc/wnba9.”  That magical link takes you to a blog by comic book writer (and all around cool guy) Marc Bernardin called, “Could Netflix Bring Firefly Back From the Dead?”

Oh my dear and fluffy lord, would that it were true! (And yes, that is from “Serenity,” the film that is essentially the second season of “Firefly.”) Bernardin suggests in his article that Netflix, which has resurrected “Arrested Development” and plans to make more episodes, might be able to do the same for “Firefly.”
