If you watched the season 2 Fringe finale (and you really should have) you’ll know that poor Olivia found herself in quite a pickle. Trapped in the alternate universe, her brand new love unaware that she’s even missing, and unable to rock her own color. Who said being an inter-dimensional gate-keeper was easy? Not me!
In an interview with SFX, executive producers, Jeff Pinkner and Joel Wyman spoke about Olivia’s situation and what challenges lie ahead for the intrepid agent. Mild spoilers.

So you might have guessed that I really loved the first part of the Beeb’s Sherlock adaptation? Just a bit, maybe?
Well, keeping on the topic of Sherlock, it appears that lead man Benedict Cumberbatch was offered the role of Doctor Who, but turned it down.

SyFy is working on a new Battlestar Galactica spin-off that will explore the story of a young William “Husker” Adama during the Cylon war. Chicago Tribune report that “Blood & Chrome” will be an online series. While the project hasn’t been set in stone just yet, it’s thought that B&C will have 3D elements.

Don’t you just love it when a show takes you by the scruff of the neck and gives you much more than you ever thought possible? Maybe it’s just me then. But after watching “A Study In Pink” – the first part of the BBC’s Sherlock, I was blown away by just how good it was.
Everyone knows about Sherlock Holmes – one of the fiction’s great detectives – but not many know Sherlock Holmes quite like how he’s portrayed in the new BBC series. They’ve updated a classic and made it into one of the most riveting shows I’ve seen in a while. (not counting my Doctor Who catch-up, which is becoming highly – and worryingly – addictive).
Below the jump are just 6 of the things I loved about Sherlock.

What Is The Event?
Ah, that is the question. With the Pilot screening at Comic-Con over the weekend there’s been a flurry of opinion on whether NBC’s new serialized offering is all it’s cracked up to be.
Some people are pinning their hopes on the show being a success, while others seem to have already scrubbed it off their ‘must-watch-list’. With that said, let’s see what we can dissect from the wide-ranging opinions scurrying out of Comic-Con. Oh, and we’ve also got the new trailer.

Yesterday we posted the trailer for AMC’s The Walking Dead, which premiered at Comic-Con. What I saw more than met my already high expectations – but the video quality was crappy. Below the jump we have a much improved version of the trailer and it really does illustrate just how emotionally engaging this show could become.
Hit the jump, sit back, soak it up..and wait for October to finally arrive!

The AMC blog is running a sweepstake to win a Walking Dead walk-on role. While this may not seem too newsworthy at first glance, once you realize that the part is for the second season of the zompocalypse series, you begin to understand the mentality of the network. In other words, they’re confident that the first season will be successful enough to bring them a second season. And why not? Everything I’ve seen and heard about the show so far has me excited – and I’m not even all that into zombies!
Of course, the proof will most definitely be in the zombified pudding, but it’s good to see that AMC believe so much in their product that they’re already thinking of extending the narrative beyond the first season. Click past the jump for details on how to enter.
