“We’re talking very seriously about revealing [what caused the blackout] before end of this season,” Kripke tells EW.  The answer is something that’s passed muster from a physicist consulted by the producers. So expect what caused the blackout to be at least somewhat scientifically plausible.

“The sweet spot is to find an answer that’s actually scarier than what you were thinking,” Kripke says. “Like, ‘Oh wait, this is not even just about electricity.’ And that’s what we’re designing. I don’t see any reason to withhold it much longer.”

One fan question about the epic power loss…

Although no one outside of Lucas and Disney executives know the content of the planned movie sequels, the first of which would come out in 2015, they will more than likely be original tales.

That means Zahn’s books won’t be directly adapted, but the author says that was always the case: “The books were always just the books.”

But years ago, he was briefed on Lucas’ plans for sequels, and how the Thrawn books would fit in. “The original idea as I understood it— and Lucas changes his mind off and on, so it may not be what he’s thinking right now – but it was going to be three…

Fringe fans, clear your calendars: Jan. 18, 2036 2013 is when it all comes to an end.

The Fox drama announced Friday that its final two episodes — one of which is the series’ 100th — will air back-to-back starting at 8/7c on that day.

This is what I look like when I’m sad… This show really deserved at least couple more seaons.

I haven’ t posted about Rise of the Guardians yet because I’m just not sure whether it’s going to be any good. But that said, I can’t keep ignoring it. So, here’s some stuff about it.

Synopsis:

Rise of the Guardians is an epic and magical adventure that tells the story of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, and Jack Frost – legendary characters with previously unknown extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of…

We’re referring, of course, to the show’s suddenly single shrink Sweets, whose break-up with Daisy left him essentially homeless. Enter Booth, who invites him to crash at Casa de B&B.

The catch? He never vetted the new houseguest with his significant other!

I am a long time fan, but I’m experiencing some serious frustration with this show right now. Why are we messing with the relationships? Why did Sweets break up with Daisy, again? What are these stupid rumors of breaking up the beloved Hodgins and Angela? Grrr. TV Shows.

This is looking like it will be a decent action film. G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra was decent. Not earth shatteringly good or anything, but I thought it was fun. And I think this film will fall right in that same category. Although having Bruce Willlis does have the possiblity of raising the bar.

Prometheus writer Damon Lindelof may not be writing Star Wars Episode VII, but he can still suggest plot points. On Thursday, FirstShowing.net debunked some pretty rampant and persistent speculation that 1952, the science-fiction project that Lindelof and Brad Bird are writing for the new owner of LucasFilm, Disney, was the code name for a new Star Wars trilogy. But just two days earlier, when rumors were still making the rounds, Lindelof took to his Twitter feed to suggest some Episode VII ideas that were better suited to a Robot Chicken Star Wars special. “Chewbacca’s great-great…

Record scratch noise, what am I talking about? Well, just this, “Brave” — the story of an ancient princess, directed by a crew that had previously worked on “The Prince of Egypt” — was released by Pixar. Meanwhile, Andrew Stanton of Pixar fame was directing a Disney summer tentpole, “John Carter.” This weekend featured “Wreck-It Ralph,” with executive producer John Lasseter right there in the credits, the very fella who built Pixar Animation. Yes indeed, Disney made a film about a video game world where the characters were real (Hi, “Toy Story!”) while Pixar released a movie about a…

“Of course the U.S. release was disappointing, but it hasn’t changed our release plans,” A Company topper Alexander van Dulmen told THR. “Cloud Atlas has a more intellectual approach and theEuropean audience is more open to movies where you have to think a bit.”

Either that or it was just stupid. But then, maybe I’m just one of those dumb Americans and don’t have any intelectual chops or something.

Whatever. I maintain my opinion on how awful this film is.
