by Doc on Mar.09, 2011, under Television
In the next sneak peek clip of the all-new episode of Being Human, Aidan has to address a heart issue. He knows that he can save a little boy’s life by changing him in to what he’s made Rebecca. She tries to consult him and let him know that they still manage fine. Aidan insists that he’s tired of managing and it’s hitting him hard to think that he’s just going to watch the little boy die. Watch the clip and tune in on Monday at 9/8c on Syfy to see if Aidan sticks to his word and stays out of the way, or if he decides to put the situation into his own hands…or fangs.

by Doc on Mar.09, 2011, under General News
The troubled Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark may stay in the dark for a few more months, as anonymous sources report an approximately three month delay in the opening – which is currently scheduled for next Tuesday. This could partly be to find a new director, as it was earlier reported that producers have been in talks with Julie Taymor about leaving the production.
The production has been plagued by problems due to the high-risk stunts and equipment issues, with several actors receiving serious injuries.
Updated 3/10: Looks like Taymor is out as director, but will still be involved, after the producers officially announced the delay to allow the time necessary to execute the plan, which will include revisions to the script,” according to the statement. The official opening date was not given, just “early summer”.

In the next all-new episode of Stargate Universe, Dr. Rush sees the shipmates have assembled without him knowing to discuss what Eli is doing with the communication stones.

Camile is clearly trying to defend Eli’s abilities while Colonel Telford is proclaiming Rush is just nuts. Rush requests the opportunity to brief the ship on why he says he has no option by to stay aboard while the rest all say they have no option but to leave. Colonel Young gives him the chance and appears to be standing alongside Rush to both Camile’s and Telford’s surprise. Watch the clip and tune in Monday at 10/9c on Syfy to hear how Rush will break down the logistics to the crew.
