I'll take potpourri for $500, Alex

So after the stunning failure of Bionic Woman (yep, it's totally dead now), BSG co-producer David Eick is apparently turning his attention to a higher-minded sci-fi property to serialize. I'm torn. I always love good sci-fi on TV, Children of Men was rightly nominated for Oscars (though not Best Picture, which it also deserved), and its tale of a dystopian future where women can't become pregnant, signaling the end of the human race, was thought-provoking and brilliantly realized. Readers know that I hate kids on my TV, and what better than a show whose entire premise is based on no kids? However, I fear that week after week, there will be nothing but a focus on having kids, talking about kids, wanting to have kids and wistfully marveling at the miracle of squealing tax deductions.

Will the producers of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles utter the franchise phrase: I'll Be Back?

I finally got around to watching Hot Fuzz last weekend, and it didn't disappoint. Much like Shaun of the Dead, it was a parody that took itself seriously, and got its laughs from mostly character, with the occasional knowing "lift" from genre trappings. Definitely worth checking out. Meanwhile, star Simon Pegg will be playing Scotty in JJ Abrams new Trek film, and he's happy and honored to be part of it. Very psyched to see this.

Brilliant analysis of the core problem with the Obama / lunatic preacher situation, as people take a day off from work to celebrate the fictional death of a fictional character.

The cast of Chuck is funny. And do horrible Desmond impressions.

Carly was in the bottom 3? Are you fucking serious, people? Yeah, Amanda going home was not a bad choice, but Rameile and Kristy Lee Shitkicker should definitely have vacated the premises first. Carly? What's wrong with you, America?

Speaking of Desmond, is time travel possible like on Lost?
