By Charlie Jane Anders Daemon by Daniel Suarez. (January 2009) This is more of a cyber-haunting than a regular one — computer/gaming genius Matthew Sobol dies of brain cancer, but his death doesn't stop him launching a war against the human race via the Internet. And when the police investigate Sobol's old house...

By Graeme McMillan But if you prefer your heroines a little less suggestible than Sky Doll, the first issue of Tank Girl: Skidmarks is probably more your speed. Unsurprisingly, we'd also point you in the direction of the debut of Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows, but we're biased.

By Graeme McMillan Start each episode with Morena Baccarin talking to some minion Visitor and saying "You know, this reminds me of that time we invaded an Earth in a parallel dimension, and I had that long hair and 1980s evil bitch mask" before cutting to the original episode. Then, at the end, cap each episode...

By Graeme McMillan But even outside of the "Watch the show improve" aspect that made the boxset for me - I couldn't help it, I'd seen the shows before - there's a lot to like about The Complete Season One; yes, some of the episodes (Ahem, "Bombad Jedi") are clunkers, but the good outweigh the bad, and there's som...

By Graeme McMillan Q: (Inaudible). Gibbs: Pardon me? Cross-talk.] (Laughter.) Here's hoping that his often-discussed love for sci-fi will get him through the derivative hour without being too distracted by a cast that includes Firefly, Dollhouse, Lost, The 4400 and Smallville refugees.

By Graeme McMillan What It's About: Ignore the punniness of the premise - The Locke family move to the family estate of Keyhouse, wherein there are magic keys that can do various weird and wonderful things, which puts them right in the middle of some bad things that're about to happen - and instead, embrace an...

By Lauren Davis Man in Black: As the episode went on, it began to feel less like a standalone episode, and more like we're lining up potential players for the battle ahead.

By Meredith Woerner Roland Emmerich: But that's something different. It's something like Lost, which has a totally different feel to it. It's more than a little bit like District 9. These ships show up in Africa and [in] Cape Town there are survivors, and they are not happy people. Because they were left behind. An...

By Charlie Jane Anders So now that you've had a chance to see the pilot for yourself, is it really all about how we would have been better off with McCain in the White House? Umm... Probably not.

By Charlie Jane Anders In any case, the wedding episode was fun — and completely a rehash of stuff we've seen before, of course. Every time we see the Trickster, he gets a bit less interesting. His first outing, where he changed history so Sarah Jane died as a small girl, was fantastic — but since then, he's been stuck...

By Lauren Davis In The Walking Dead, zombies are less agents of fear than they are death incarnate, and the comic often plays on themes of hope and how we cope with loss. Hope is tragic as much as it is necessary for survival. A farmer keeps his undead family in a barn by his house, hoping there will someday be a cu...

By Annalee Newitz After all that, I figured Heroes would do the usual TV thing and kill of Gretchen.

By Charlie Jane Anders Geocities had a fantastic DIY sensibility that encouraged absolutely anybody to put up a website. And people used it to upload articles from their old fanzines, and create sites on incredibly niche topics, like all the different versions of the Fourth Doctor's scarf we saw on Doctor Who,...

By Charlie Jane Anders Random thought: I am willing to bet this episode was written for season one and held over — because Paul Ballard wasn't in it, and I have a feeling writers Maurisa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon wrote it for a Ballard-less Dollhouse, then couldn't revise it to make Ballard fit in.

By Graeme McMillan According to co-creator Damon Lindelof, you shouldn't expect everything to be explained in the final season of ABC's Lost. In fact, some mysterious characters may be missing entirely from the last set of episodes. Spoilers! Damon Lindelof Is Still "Lost" [Comic Book Resources]

By Charlie Jane Anders 1) The pacing. That's actually the main thing that jumps out at me every time I watch an episode of Glee. They pack so much into one episode, and none of it feels forced. Last night's episode would have been ten episodes, or maybe even a whole season, of any other show. The Puck-dates-Rachel subpl...

By Graeme McMillan For Day One, I very much have a long term plan that's broken into, for the series, these different events. NBC, and rightly so, is very committed to making sure that, when Day One is on the air that it's very special, and doesn't overstay its welcome, and that every episode is important.

By Graeme McMillan Cashing in on the then-current virtual reality craze and casting both the sister of V's Marc Singer and Sapphire And Steel's David McCallum may have seemed like a winner in 1995, but Fox's reality-challenging series (canceled after ten episodes) was either ahead of its time or an ill-ad...

By Stephen Goldmeier For a more recent example, take this season's finale, "The Incident." As psyched as I was to finally see what the incident was and how it came to pass, the real impact of the episode was witnessing Sawyer lose the woman he loved, Juliet.

By Annalee Newitz A few scenes go on a bit too long (the drug scene springs to mind), and you may be irritated by the fact that many of the jokes are at the expense of women. But despite this most of the bits are genuinely funny, and I predict you'll be repeating lines from the movie for days afterward. In fact, if you...
