Tube Bits for 05/31/2008

• You’ve probably seen it already, Sci Fi has announced it’s summer programming. Of interest: Stargate Atlantis starts on July 11th and Eureka (finally) starts on July 29th.
• TrekToday has some info on the different types of starships to appear in the new Trek movie. Apparently there will be one that has never appeared before. We also see that Spock will be travelling back in time in a specially constructed ship. I guess Hiro wasn’t available.
• Score one for the Scotts: Shirley Manson of the band Garbage (um, who?) will be a recurring character on the next season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Manson will play the CEO of a high-tech company. As the saying goes, “If it ain’t Scottish, it’s crap!” True that.
• Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe Online opines that the fun on LOST is found in the questions. Absolutely. This is what I meant when I said LOST fans are incredibly fanatical, rivaled only by Trek fans in their ability to argue and flame over the tiniest minutia.
• Fox (spoilers ahead!) previewed Fringe for a bunch of TV writers on May 29th and Sci Fi Wire has the lowdown on the pilot episode. I’m kind of in to this one as it looks to be a cross between The X-Files and CSI: Whatever.
• Electronic Arts is working on a new Xbox 360 SF/Horror Survival game called Dead Space. Below are two ‘animated’ comic books that tell the story leading up to the events in the game.
