Welcome to ‘Zombie of the Week,’ folks, where each week we’ll present you with a different brain-eating member of the undead that has captured our fancy.

13 Thoughts On Warehouse 13 2.4: Age Before Beauty
Lessons I learned from last night’s episode of Warehouse 13: My TiVo hates me. No, wait, I mean “Myka isn’t supremely confident, Claudia is socially awkward, and both need emotional support from their male counterparts.” No, that’s not right either. Oh, well: Here’re thirteen thoughts about “Age Before Beauty.”
1. Some Girls Play With …

Comic-Con 2011 Preview Night Sold Out Already
Be very afraid: Preview Night at Comic-Con International 2011 in San Diego has already sold out. 15,000 four day passes for next year’s con – all of which allow participants access to Wednesday’s limited Preview Night opening – were sold on-site before the end of Comic-Con 2010, the fastest sell-out yet (In comparison, the same tickets …
Tiffany vs. Debbie Gibson: Syfy’s “Grade D” Cat Fight (Now With Pie!)
This week, Syfy delivered our first peep at its upcoming Mega-Python vs. Gatoroid, starring ex-pop stars Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. In this new clip, the movie seems more all out girl fight than creature feature. See for yourself.
I’m confused though, which one is Gatoroid? Tiffany has bigger teeth, but then again, I can’t be …
So Say We All: Battlestar Galactica Returns Online
Caprica has shown the origins of the cylons and Battlestar Galactica demonstrated the final fate of the survivors of the Cylon apocalypse – They’re us! Kind of. I mean, spoilers – but Syfy isn’t done with the middle of the Galactica mythology just yet. The network is planning a third series in the franchise to run online, called Blood …
Is Comic-Con Really Hurting Nerd Culture?
The first time I went to Comic-Con, the entire thing fit in about one half of what is currently the exhibitor’s hall. It wasn’t quite a longbox show, but it wasn’t that far removed from it, either. There was no viral marketing, no multi-story booths, no Hollywood presence at all, and though it was a lot of fun, it didn’t feel …
Top 10 Must-See Trailers Out of Comic-Con
Our eyes were opened at Comic-Con. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse – filled constantly with sights of new costumes, new comics, and new movies.
There was a lot to take in in San Diego – maybe too much – but at the end of the party, there were a handful of new images that lingered with us most. Mostly trailers for films and …
Interview: Paul Cornell on “Knight and Squire” and “Action Comics”

More recently, he’s been making a splash in American comics, with Marvel’s Captain Britain and MI: 13 and Dark X-Men.

The Clever Trickery Behind The Music Of Inception
Behind Inception‘s intense score is genius composer Hans Zimmer, who may have had a little inspiration. What you’re hearing is actually just a slowed version of French chanteuse Édith Piaf’s Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, which also doubled as the music played on the timer to signify the kick to end the dream. Zimmer, who also composed for …
Scott Pilgrim Sells Out
Surprising no-one, Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour – the sixth and final volume in Bryan Lee O’Malley’s series – has sold out of its original print run, and is heading to a rush second printing ahead of the release of the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. What is surprising is that the initial print run was 100,000 copies, and that it sold …
