• The Star Trek hype train rams the station next week and Vince Horiuchi of The Salt Lake Tribune laments the lack of good movies made from TV shows. While Trek has had a lot of clunkers, I don't think you can Wrath of Khan wasn't good. Still, if you're looking for original IP, Vince, wait for Cameron's Avatar.
• It seems that Paramount has already bought into their own hype as they have already given the go ahead for a sequel to Abrams' Star Trek. I can imagine a new Star Trek on TV if the movie does gangbusters, which puts an interesting spin on the Vince Horiuchi article above, but also means no new IP on TV.
• Buddy TV compares (spoilers!) the Heroes season finale with Whedon's Dollhouse. Seeing what happened in the finale, I'm glad I haven't been watching. And to think, season 4 is coming.
• I've been waiting for the current best show on Sci Fi to return: Eureka. Well, it will air starting July 10th and it will take over Galactica's old timeslot, Fridays at 10/9pm. The new Warehouse 13 will take over Eureka's old slot on Tuesday. I'll watch both, since the seem to have similar comedic vibes, but I'm not expecting much from 13.
• Tonight LOST returns (damn you one week breaks!) with a brand spanking new episode. To celebrate, why not let TV Guide count down the 5 biggest "Thumps!" of this season. Too bad you don't get to see how creepily awesome Ben Linus is.
