Everything you need to know about Doctor Who in a single page

If you ever find yourself trying to explain the gospel of Gallifrey to a Whogin (“Who virgin,” of course) and trip over the many and varied wrinkles of continuity, the singular plurality of the Doctor himself, then this poster should be your handout of choice. This poster-sized Dummies Guide to

1st teaser for French teen superhero epic that destroys New York

Who are The Prodigies, and why are they hell-bent on leveling Manhattan? Hopefully, the answer will come this March in a CG flick that makes Heroes look like Days of Our Lives. Given that we’re not paying super-close attention to France’s movie release schedule, The Prodigies—hitting Gallic screens on March

Nathan Fillion cast as new Green Lantern. (Really.)

Nathan Fillion has been cast as the next Green Lantern … wait, what? Don’t worry, fans: Fillion (Firefly) is not taking over for Ryan Reynolds in the second Green Lantern movie, assuming that the first one—due out this summer—is a monster hit. Instead, TV Guide reports that Fillion will voice

14 wonderfully weird examples of alien make-up

Filmmakers have been relying on computers an awful lot lately to warp actors into aliens. But there’ill always be a place for the magic of traditional makeup, as demonstrated in Syfy’s new Face-Off reality show, the next episode of which tackles the theme of extraterrestrial transformations. See the costumes here

That jerk who raged at you on the road today was probably a gamer

Scientists have known for years that videogames teach hand-eye coordination, that videogamers are more aware of their surroundings, and that they make quicker decisions than non-gamers. Knowing that, you could assume that videogaming makes people better drivers. But you know what happens when you assume, don’t you? It turns out

The Super Bowl’s best and worst sci-fi movie and TV trailers

For some of us, which teams were on the field last night was only the SECOND most important thing about the Super Bowl. What’s more important is that outside of Comic-Con, Super Bowl Sunday’s the best time to catch the most awesome (and not-so-awesome) trailers for Hollywood’s blockbuster movies and

“Captain America” Super Bowl Ad Debuts

Following quickly on the debut of the film’s poster, Marvel Studios launched the first trailer for “Captain America: The First Avenger” today during the Super Bowl. A tie-in digital comic also debuted online. Set during World War II, “Captain America” stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, a man who registers

New NASA photos reveal surprising avalanches at Martian north pole

Scientists used to think that the huge sea of sand dunes at the Martian north pole—a sea the size of Texas—was fairly unchanging. But new NASA photos reveal avalanches caused by the Martian spring thaw. Photos taken by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter of the basalt sand dunes near the north

Captain America: The First Avenger gets an official poster!

Chris Evans gets somber, reflective and covered in debris for the first poster for Marvel’s World War II action flick. But is this the right tone to set for the star-spangled hero? In a word, yes. This is, after all, a hero fighting in WWII and the cloudy, murky blast-weariness

Lois Lane may not even be IN Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot

With the recent announcement that Henry Cavill was cast as the new Superman in Zack Snyder’s Superman: Man of Steel, there’s been speculation as to who should be his Lois Lane. However, it appears that Warner Bros. is looking for a leading lady in Supe’s life that is NOT our

Torchwood’s Russell T. Davies says he’s almost done with sci-fi

We’re eternally grateful to Russell T. Davies for reviving Doctor Who in 2005, as well as for creating the spin-off series, Torchwood. But sadly, Davies, one of our favorite sci-fi television writers, has announced that it’s about time for him step away from space battles and alien invasions in favor

Samuel Jackson says Nick Fury will be in Captain America and Thor

We’ve known for a while that Nick Fury would be popping up in Captain America, and hoped and assumed that he’d be appearing in Thor, too. But we weren’t 100 percent sure until we heard Samuel L. Jackson say it himself. Jackson appeared last night on Jimmy Fallon Live, where
