Yeah, they keep throwing out different rumors of prequel, faked death, and Life Model Decoy (or whatever they were called). Who knows.

CBS: CSI:NY, Vegas, Golden Boy, Rules of Engagement all cancelled. No surprises.

Chevy wasn't in the Christmas party and secret origins episodes; they got him to come back and record his lines for the puppet episode, though he didn't appear on camera. NBC is down to deciding between just New Normal and Community as insurance shows; it wouldn't shock me at all if Community...

Unknown yet. NBC is very likely to keep a couple existing shows for insurance in case new stuff fails; the only options they have left are Go On, New Normal, and Community. As for the episode itself, I dunno. It was obvious it was a dream sequence, but it being in Jeff's head doesn't make...

CW: Nikita and Carrie Diaries renewed. CBS: Criminal Minds renewed (cast salary squabbles).

At NBC: Deception, Up All Night, 1600 Penn, Guys With Kids, and Whitney dead. Parks & Rec (no surprise) renewed.

The CW is trying to expand to both women and men 18-34; youmaywant to check out The Tomorrow People (an adaptation of the British show, standard Heroes / X-Men) and The 100 (twenty-somethings try to rebuild post-nuclear war earth.)

To be perfectly honest, doing one today is silly, as the broadcasters (and some cable networks) will do their pickups this week. Fox already has; the standout there is Brooklyn 99. Essentially Parks & Recreation, but cops, it's run by Dan Goor & Mike Schur (who've run Parks & Rec), with Andy...

If they really are changing it such that Ender knows the whole time, it screws up half the book (including, as already mentioned, the freaking title). Ben Kingsley is so not working for me. Totally should have gone with Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett). I will admit the Battle Room looks...

I had no idea who the hell "Freddy" was either; I thought it was some Sarah Shahi role I didn't know. 1) I don't think she was ever called Freddy in Angel. 2)She's been recurring on this show for a year, why mention it now. I don't know what to make of the backstory now. Finch/Nathan...

We still don't know if this was always the plan or if it was changed due to consumer outcry; if anything, you should wonder why MS would have to put out an internal email explaining how the situation has always been. This still doesn't necessarily answer any questions about the system...

Wow, that's a deep Ringworld pull. However, you forget we still have to go through the Wirehead cull of the population first, which should weed out the easily blissed. (Thanks for reminding me Fate of Worlds is out!)

I didn't think it was bad. I do agree with the people who think that retconning it so they were secretly fated to be together violates the whole damn theme of the show, sure, but I didn't think it was bad. I thought it was mediocre. The laughs / 22 minutes just aren't there, and haven't...

Between this, Iron Man 3, and Elysium, it certainly sounds like the summer of the leftist action movie. It's not unheard of; 2006 with the year of the feel-bad action movie, between Smoking Aces, Blood Diamond, and Children of Men; it's just weird how projects percolate up at the same time.

I wasn't expecting anyone to revive Starcraft: Ghost, but good for Activision for trying to monetize Blizzard harder. One of these days Blizzard will finally get around to nickle-and-diming people like they're supposed to! In all seriousness, like AC4, it's a cross-gen game that probably...

Normally I'd be all over this topic, but this year so many networks did their renewals already that we're down to: 1) How many comedy pilots does NBC like, so how many can they kill of (in rough order of most likely to least): Up All Night, 1600 Penn, Guys With Kids, Community, New Normal...

I have an extremely hard time imagining Xbox delays the launch. I can imagine console supply is limited this Christmas, and the software situation is dire, but I just can't imagine MS delays the launch in the US and probably Europe. The more interesting thing we're hearing is all the chatter...

IhateGeno Smith to the Jets. Look, Rex is getting fired on Black Monday. So now the Jets can only go with coaches who think Smith is the answer? If he doesn't work out, we're talking, what, 2015? 2016? before they go with another QB? Then, look at the financial angle. (IIRC) The Jets take...

Will the Packers ever pick again? It's not like we could use DT, S, CB, or WR depth or anything.

As someone who doesn't watch college football, who the fuck is this cro-magnon Mathieu and why should I care?

Eh, I don't think it's that big a deal. The draft was about 10 likely successes and then 40 probable successes. The Raiders therefore went from 1 likely success to 2 probable successes. Quite frankly, the Raiders need 2 decent guys more than the #3 pick and some guy off the street...

Boo, was hoping Floyd would stick around to Packers. Dunno if they go with Sylvester Williams or trade to a QB team now.

What, the Bears have OL issues and the tackles are gone. Not seeing the surprise.

Also: this is going to be a long ass first round. With so few superstars, everyone sane will be tempted to trade down, and everyone will wait until the last minute for trade offers.

Here's the real question, who do the Raiders trade the number 12 pick to?

Miami is disturbingly going for it this year. I mean, Ireland will be fired if they don't do something, but either way, they have nothing left for the next few years.

Frankly, MS shouldn't waste their time with disc-based Japanese-only games. The worldwide games (Capcom, Konami, Square) will get a 720 version anyway for the US/UK. The Japanese only games would be better suited converting to digital-only, XBLA/PSN sales - and its not like it will take much...

The 3DS will not sell as well as the DS or GBA did. No handheld ever will again; that marketshare is lost to phones. That said, there's nothing stopping the 3DS from being a profitable system with more than enough games to justify its existence. This fiscal year was just bad development...

Eh, I think the show needs to shake things up, with either new characters or people in new roles. Ron Cadillac was a start (although they seemed to abandon him after, what, the Anthony Bourdain episode), and I could see Lana as Mother not accepting Archer's shit anymore, but when the big...

You could (and probably should) jump straight to when Rob Lowe and Adam Scott joined the cast (Season 2, Episode 23 - "The Master Plan"). There are bits of gold in Season 2, but I wouldn't slog through all of it to find them without already being a fan. Season 3, in my opinion, is one of the...

I don't buy it either. He starts off by saying "A bunch of stuff I said before is wrong, but this stuff is real, honest!", the language sounds petulant and fanboyish, and his claims go against all anecdotes - it's not always online (whereas an employee was fired defending the concept)...

Of course he dies, they even give you the star blinking out at the end of the credits to hammer it home.

Metal trash cans unfortunately provide easy sources of effective shrapnel.

I'm enjoying this too (Bryan Fuller's name demands I at least give it a couple episodes), but all I can think of when I watch it is "Awake: Serial Killer Edition". It doesn't help that the same guy (David Slade) directed the pilots for both shows.

According to Sepinwall, that was the "last produced" (the singing and puppets took longer to produce, as you would expect) episode that Chevy skipped; apparently they made him come back for an hour and record his puppet lines before he was off the hook. So he did indeed "appear" in all the...

I would clarify that to exclusivity hasn't mattered for XBLArecently. I think/fear that if the 720 is still way behind the PS4 after Holiday 14, at E3 15 we will find out MS has broken out the checkbook and bought XBLA exclusivity for Shadow Complex 2, Trials+1, Spelunky 2, Dust 2, and as...

Is says that internet polls have such a level of self-selection bias that their results should be tossed out sight unseen, that the gamers voting for EA literally don't have a clue about reality at large, given the above that any group running (and promoting the results of) such a poll has...

Non-gamers don't need to spend $500 on a media device, especially when much cheaper devices (hell, if rumors are to be believed, including a $99 version of the 360) will do the same. MS intends on putting out a new machine and not eating a large percentage of the cost doing so. Both MS and...

I took my nieces to see this on Wednesday. Today, the only things I can literally remember about it are A) amusing meta-jokes about Nic Cage inventing wigs and overacting, and B) wondering why the intro is scored to college football fight songs. (I guess the egg is football shaped, or...

Adjusting for inflation: The "Good" 360 (with a hard drive) launched at ~$475. (Without any silly Kinect camera.) It should overtake the Wii for #1 this gen in the US. The PS2 launched at ~$400, and there was a lot less to a system back then (no hard drive to start). It was #1 last gen...
