The Magnificent Seven: Supernatural 3.1
By Cynthia Boris
Lust, pride, gluttony, sloth -- and that's just Dean in the first five minutes of the episode! Supernatural is back and it's a little darker, a little sexier and a little more crowded. It wasn't just the seven deadly sins taking up screen time but we had Bobby, Ruby and a pair of married hunters filling out the bill on the season opener.
On the upside, the bulk of this episode looked a lot like the horror movies it pays homage to. With the good guys barricaded in the house while the demons gathered outside was very Night of the Living Dead, but I was surprised that there were no "surprise" moments. With everyone peering out between the slats of the boarded up windows, I thought for sure some villain would pop up and scare me out of my chair.
Middle of the road for me was Dean's new personality. I wasn't crazy about the happy, carefree Dean until I realized that it's likely one of the stages of grief that terminal patients go through. Denial is Dean's river at the moment but I imagine that's likely to change as the season progresses. I did enjoy the coughing fit moment and swapping spit with Lust was way hotter than it should have been.

Back in a Flash
Tomorrow night's new episode of Flash Gordon has a very special guest, but you probably won't recognize him without his blond hair and tight pants. It's Sam J. Jones, the Flash Gordon of the 80's movie and he's guesting as Krebb, one of Ming's prisoners who knows an awful lot about Dr. Gordon and his whereabouts.
The episode, titled Revelations, has Baylin, Zarkov and Flash trapped on Mongo without a working rift. While they attempt to find Ming's rift generator, Ming's daughter is performing her own version of Kate in "Taming of the Shrew". It seems that Aura has been betrothed to Barin and she's just not all that into him. Personally, I'd jump at the chance to marry hunk Steve Bacic, but apparently she and I don't have the same taste.

Supernatural Gets Lucky
Is that a rabbit's foot I see? Sound like it was lucky for actress Lauren Cohan who scored herself a recurring gig on Supernatural this season.

Is Dean a Daddy?
There's something strikingly familiar about the little boy in these pictures from the Supernatural Season Three episode, "The Kids Are Alright".

Stargate Atlantis: Season Four Begins
By Cynthia Boris
Can you believe Stargate Atlantis is starting its fourth season? Seems like just yesterday they were stepping through the gate into a whole new adventure. We saw characters come and characters go, some we liked and some we didn't. We saw old enemies and new ones and we saw friendlies turn hostile when the timing was right.
If you missed even a moment of Stargate Atlantis: Season Three, mark your calendar for September 18th because that's when the brand new box set hits the shelves. This DVD is packed with commentaries, those cool Mission Directives, and featurettes on Rachel Luttrell, the visual effects department, a full season overview and much more.
As soon as you get your DVD set, pop in disc five and watch the final four episodes of the season. You'll need this refresher course in order to fully appreciate the season four two-part premiere airing September 28 and October 4 on SCI FI Channel.
Want a sneak peek at what the new season has to offer? Well, I'm here to give it to you. Trouble is telling without giving away all of the plot twists these episodes throw at you. So let's say, there are slight spoilers ahead.

Supernatural Season Premiere: First Look
It's one of the most anxiously awaited returns of the season, but not necessarily in a good way. The boys of Supernatural are coming back and they've got a couple of girls in tow!
While reaction to the new cast members has been. . . shall we say. . . loud, Kripke and company keep assuring us that this won't be like last year's misstep with Jo. They keep swearing there won't be any loving going on unless of course, it happens, in which case, there will be.
So, a definite maybe, then?
Take a look at "recurring regular" Katie Cassidy and the boys, doing business in the Supernatural premiere, The Magnificent Seven which airs October 4, on the CW.

Torchwood Revealed: Part Two
by Cynthia Boris
We continue our conversation with Torchwood's Chris Chibnall and Noel Clarke.
One thing that truly sets Torchwood apart from past British TV shows are the production values. They call it making a show that looks "American". I call it making a weekly mini-movie.
"We're talking about mythology," says Chibnall. "And a lot of our TV has been mythologically American. A lot of British TV is very dowdy, very kitchen sink, and we were like 'no' let's make a sexy city show. [In Torchwood] Cardiff is a character."
Clarke adds, "As we for years have watched shows like Angel, saw shots of LA and thought, 'I want to go there.' We want people to go, 'wow, Cardiff is a really cool.'"
