Plus, Syfy Mondays continue without 'Warehouse 13'
The fall season is upon us and the weather is beginning to cool. Now is when everyone starts counting down to Halloween. The networks are amping up their schedules with plenty of tales from the paranormal. For science fiction and fantasy fans, that means hobbits, and tigers, and imps. Oh my! ...
Read MoreA six-episode sixth season could end things
It's been a good long run, but the party had to end sometime. That party is apparently ending for the Syfy series "Eureka," which is reportedly going to sign off after an abbreviated sixth and final season. Syfy has not responded to the rumor first reported by Nellie Andreeva of Deadline.c ...
Read MoreBrowncoats gather to support Equality Now
Joss Whedon once said that "equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for -- it's a necessity. Equality is like gravity -- we need it to stand on this earth as men and women." These are not simply words to Whedon. He is well-known for creating strong female characters i ...
Read MoreMichael Hinman once again is late to a party -- this time, 'The Guild'
Why is it that I don't want to listen to people sometimes? I didn't watch "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" until Season 4. I didn't watch "Warehouse 13" until Season 2. I didn't watch "Fight Club" until like 10 years after its release. And now I get to add a new one to the list: "The Guild." A ...

Read MorePLUS: Syfy gives 'Eureka' extra episode to wrap everything up
It would be easy to call this one of the biggest cancellation cluster-you-know-whats of recent memory. But then again, this is Syfy, where nothing gets cancelled cleanly. The cable channel suddenly cancelled "Eureka," its one-time No. 1 hit, this week, after dispelling rumors that a six-episode s ...
Read MoreReasons for decision reversal is not quite clear
Keep moving. Nothing to see here. No cancellation here. Oh wait, did you say "Eureka"? Oh yeah ... that show is cancelled. Just days after it downplayed a reported cancellation after what was supposed to be a six-episode sixth season, Syfy has turned around and actually outright cancelled "Eur ...
Read MoreDark Horse brings 'Dollhouse' to comics with 'Epitaphs'
Joss Whedon fans have reason to celebrate this week. “Dollhouse” has come to comics, compliments of Dark Horse Comics and Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen. “Dollhouse: Epitaphs” is a one-shot issue, but it leads into an upcoming special series that will be released later this year. The ...
Read MoreIn the new issue, fans learn more about Tink ... or do they?
This week, “The Guild” hit the comic book shelves again, and this time the spotlight is on the least well-known of the characters, Tink. I started reading this issue thinking that we would finally get to know a bit about this mysterious woman, but I was actually pleased that I was wrong. Whi ...
Read MoreSummer Syfy series keeps growing its overall viewership year after year
Most of the time, audiences for shows shrink. Even if they do grow, it's usually for a season or two before it starts to fade. Not with Syfy's "Eureka," however. For the fourth consecutive year (yeah, the number that comes after three), the quirky comedy starring Colin Ferguson has added to its a ...
