Yesterday the UK Government announced intentions to crack down on internet piracy of films, music and television. While this is a threat the government rolls out on a seemingly bi-monthly basis, one must wonder if anything will ever come of it. And if something does I, for one, do not think it will be a good thing.
I am not going to justify the downloading of movies and music. I think those things should be paid for legally. Nor will I justify the downloading of television that has been released on …

After the Dollhouse episode “True Believer” aired, the writer and consulting producer Tim Minear was kind enough to chat with me a bit about this episode, his contributions to the show and what he’s got coming up in development. Enjoy.
Pasha: “True Believer” was conceived as one of the “seven pilots”, as Joss has called them. With this in mind, what was the process of breaking the episode like?
Tim Minear: Well, Joss wanted to do a cult episode. The only real edict …

The first promo for the new season of Nip/Tuck is out and making the rounds:
The sixth season is set to premier in Wednesday 14th October on FX. The season will feature the return of Vanessa Redgrave as Julia McNamara’s mother, Erica Noughton.
The Hollywood Reporter has stated Bryan Singer, the mastermind of the first two X-Men films, has been drafted by Universal to re-imagine yet another genre project. The project in question is a Battlestar Galactica feature film, which will have no ties to the television show of the same name that wrapped its run on Syfy earlier this year.
Singer made a name for himself by directing The Usual Suspect in 1994. He’s since been associated with comic book franchises such as X-Men and Superman.
And, yes, I’m sure another updating of Battlestar …
WALTER WHITE: We tried to poison you. We tried to poison you because you’re an insane, degenerate piece of filth and you deserve to die.
Teacher. Husband. Father. Cancer patient. On paper, Walter White (the brillaint Bryan Cranston) is an incredibly sympathetic man who you can’t help but feel sorry for. Season One of AMC’s spectacular Breaking Bad worked hard in establishing its protagonist as an ultimately good guy, someone to root for. He gave up on the opportunity to be a rich scientist, instead working as a high school …

AMC are confident that, despite the genre element of the project, it will be a perfect fit on their schedule, which already includes Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
Oceanic 815… Landing in LAX?
The Lost season six premier (which will be 2 hours long, by the way) is going to be entitled “LA X” as revealed by this source.
After the final scene of season five’s finale, and recent casting rumours, it looks like we will indeed be visiting an Oceanic 815 that didn’t crash onto the island, but knowing Lost can things really be that simple? The space between LA and X also raises some questions as to what the title really means. Typo or complex …
