NGC 1132 is a "lone wolf" galaxy, far from other galactic clusters, says NASA. Was it always a loner, scorning the company of its galactic peers for the rough-and-tumble life in the far reaches of intergalactic space? Or is it actually a group of galaxies that joined forces, banding together to survive a lonesome cosmos? …
Smother Mothers Are Scarier Than Evil Cyborgs
Sarah Connor needs to stop strangling John with her apron strings, according to last night's Sarah Connor Chronicles. After all, the world ends in just four years, and weedy Thomas Dekker has to morph into Christian Bale by then. Never mind that Sarah's still the show's real bad-ass, as seen in this clip. Don't call…
Corey Haim is initiated into the Rollerboys, a fascist street gang that skates down the street with synchronized arm movements, in this clip from Prayer Of The Rollerboys. Which may be the weirdest dystopian movie ever. America is collapsing, Harvard is moving to Asia, and street gangs like the Rollerboys hold all the power. But everybody has perfect NKOTB hair and Benetton clothes, and there's a John Hughes-ian romance between Corey Haim and Patricia Arquette. Another awesome Rollerboys clip, after the jump.
Who Would Be The Most Science Fictional President?
It's Super Tuesday! No, that doesn't mean you're going to get bathed in cosmic radiation and gain super-strength and diamond skin. (At least, not necessarily.) Rather, if you live in one of a bunch of states, you'll be choosing your party's presidential candidate. When you make that momentous choice, the most important …
New Clips From Thursday's Lost Episode
One of the freighter people thinks Jack is handsome in this week's Lost episode. Not only that, but we get some more hints about what they're really up to on the island, and glimpse the inventory they brought with them. And Locke acts like a loon again. Between these clips and the two minutes we posted yesterday
A Sunspot Twice The Size Of Earth
Sunspot 982 flared up over the weekend, and it looks totally awesome. Not only is it humongous, but it has these two cool-looking dark filaments sticking out of it. Photographer Greg Piepol took this picture using a regular Coronado SolarMax 90 Ha telescope. Another awesome sunspot pic after the jump.
Full Spoilage For J.J. Abrams' X-Files Ripoff!
This morning, we've got tons of forbidden secrets of Fringe, the X-Files clone from J.J. Abrams. And there are new pics from the Knight Rider TV movie, plus some images of a Speed Racer toy that gives some clues about the film. All that, plus new spoilers for Star Trek and Sarah Connor. It's all part of our plan to…
Strip Mining Shatters the Moon
If only the rest of 2002's The Time Machine had been like this sequence, it would have been one of the greatest science fiction movies ever. A future attempt to colonize and mine the moon instead leads to the near-total destruction of all life on Earth, as the broken moon rains chunks of rock onto Earth. Supposedly…
What's The Most Overrated Recent TV Show?
To hear people talk, we're living in a golden age for science fiction on television. The genre has never been so arty and grown-up, with real actors and stuff. Silver lame' jumpsuits are confined to American Apparel where they belong. But maybe some recent shows are just coasting unfairly on this wave of critical…
Batman Dreams Of Equality
Stephanie Brown took over as Robin for a short while in the Batman comics, and later died. But Bruce Wayne never saw fit to give her a memorial case in the Batcave, like the ones for other past Robins... until now. A dream sequence in a recent Grant Morrison-penned Bat-comic shows Stephanie's costume alongside the…
