Fox has added J.J. Abrams Fringe and Joss Whedon's Dollhouse to its schedule, and also announced that both of these shows would be shown with reduced commercials (and thus the shows will be longer). The Hollywood Reporter has some previews you can see of these shows.

I've been threatening to do this review for a while, and I'm pretty sure few of you have seen or even remember this show, but since I remember even the most useless of trivia, I hunted down this show to watch it again. Star Maidens can probably be summed up with: Only in the 70s...

It'd definitely Casting Call season. Several more casting announcements have been made regarding the upcoming Caprica, and the returning Eureka: Eric Stoltz (The Butterfly Effect, Mask) will play Daniel Graystone on Caprica, a tech wizard who is perhaps the creator of the Cylons; Alessandra Toressani (Malcolm In The Middle) plays his daughter Zoe. Also, Frances Fisher (Titanic) will join Eureka as a "fixer" coming in to fix Global Dynamics - and perhaps provide a love interest for Carter. Lastly, Peter Fonda (Escape From L.A.) joins the cast of the SCI FI Channel pilot Revolution as the patriarch of the family that rules the planet.

I haven't heard anything since last July, but it appears that something is happening with the planned remake of ReBoot: A new official site is up, with a front page bearing a countdown and "Coming Soon". Looks like we'll find out in a little more than 18 days...

Variety is reporting that the successful video game Bioshock is getting the big screen treatment from Universal, and Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Carribean is attached to produce and direct. Bioshock is a first-person shooter that takes place in an underwater city where the inhabitants used ADAM, a chemical that allowed them to undergo genetic changes, including the ability to use "plasmids" which give them special abilities. Eventually they either turned into homicidal mutants, or were murdered by them, all while a power struggle took place in the city. The setting had a future-retro feel, which reminded me of the movie Captain Nemo and the Underwater City. Think it will fair better than Halo?

Michael Ausiello over at TV Guide Online is saying that Bruce Boxleitner (John Sheridan, Babylon 5) will have a recurring role on Heroes. The type of role is top secret, but it was originally modeled after Senator John McCain.
