- John Muir has an incredibly long, incredibly detailed article covering the classic MST3K classic episode “Manos, The Hands Of Fate“. You haven’t lived till you’ve seen this one. Then you’ll be glad you never saw the movie without Joel and the bots. (“Manos!” “The hands of fate?” “Uh-huh”).
- The TV Addict defends his earlier post Heroes: Most OverHyped Show Ever? He has some interesting points, and I agree the hype for it has been everywhere. Can it live up to the hype? Sure. Will it? We’ll see.
- Buddy TV has their time slot analysis for Moonlight up. They compare it to Angel, which might be good, except no Joss Whedon, which is bad. Oh, and it isn’t SF, which is bad.
- For all you LOST fans who happen to be High Def snobs, you’ll be glad to learn that Season 3 of LOST will be available on Blu Ray in full on 1080p. Hmm, might be time to get a larger TV.
- Not TV related, but Live365 has an Internet radio station dedicated to SF&F soundtracks. Cool.
- Kevin Smith is all over TV this season. Now he’s signed on to direct and episode of Battlestar Galactica. Hopefully Matt Damon or Ben AFFLACK! won’t appear.

Kevin Smith directing an episode of “Battlestar Galactica.” Now THAT’S freakin’ awesome! Hopefully Jay and Silent Bob will cameo just standing up against the wall in uniform in some corridor, and then get scolded by Colonel Tigh for loafing.
I had to read the MST3K story since I’d followed and I’ve been a fan of the show from pretty close to the beginning (except the only in Minnesota period.)
One thing I will disagree with is the comment: “It’s snarky, Gen-X humor, ”
Not so much. That style of humor goes back way, way before Gen-X (even ignoring the fact that Gen-X is hardly a monolithic group.) And heck all the creators of the show are Boomers and not Gen-X. Always better to leave the ageist and generational assumptions to side…
And you know while Manos is bad I don’t think it’s even the worst movie they covered. There’s stuff way, worst out there (heck I even own a few of them…)
