Doctor Who. Torchwood. Life Is Good!
So not only is the BBC producing new seasons of Doctor Who, whose Season 27 was AMAZING and has reinvigorated my love of the series, but now there will be a new spin-off series. The new series will be called Torchwood (anagram it, you'll understand), and will star the amazing secondary character from Season 27, Captain Jack. For those who haven't seen the series, Captain Jack is a bisexual Han-Solo-esque rogue from Earth's far future who travels with The Doctor, helps defend Earth from the Daleks, and gets left behind because it is thought he is dead. Great character. Good series premise. I hope it lasts a long time.

Hel-lo, Computer!
So remember your youth, in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, when Scotty ("a key-berd...how quaint...") bartered the formula for transparent aluminum for a series of panels of the same to contain water in the Klingon ship's hold, to transport the whales from Earth's "past" to the "present" day to save Earth from the alien communications device?! Of course you do! Well, transparent aluminum is a reality. Science kicks ass!

Intergalactic Medicine Show
Orson Scott Card has started another venture. An online webzine, full of new writings from himself and others. Should be worth a look. Hell, it has an Ender Saga story in every issue. That alone should make it worthwhile. According to others though, the other writings are well worth the time.
