"Stargate Universe TV show" (aka SGU) premiered on Syfy in September, 2009, part of a larger Stargate franchise, which has a production history at least as complicated as the plots of all the Star Treks combined. The immediate success of "Stargate Universe" provides the living proof that the ComicCon crowd never tires of going boldly where no man has gone before. The situation is more than a little reminiscent of "Battlestar Gallactica," but edgier and richer in good one-liners. This time, a group of intrepid explorers whose own ship has been disabled boards a crewless ship permanently locked on cruise control and set to go to the ends of the universe. Because they have no hope of returning to Earth, the eclectic crew of scientists, soldiers, and civilians must figure out how they will survive by their wits and the ship's tools as they float around the edges of the galaxy. Of course, the struggle for survival brings out the noblest qualities in the heroes, the vilest qualities in the villains, and hundreds of opportunities for uber-cool special effects.

Creators and critics refer to "Caprica TV show" as a spin-off from the classic "Battlestar Gallactica," but the allusion deceives devoted viewers of the old space drama, and it flies right over the heads of the new show's most enthusiastic viewers"”adolescent boys obsessed with all things technological. Strictly speaking, "Caprica" is a prequel to the final struggle for survival dramatized in "Battlestar Gallactica": The stories are set approximately sixty years before the Cylons began plotting to destroy humanity, and it focuses on a tech-crazy world drunk on its own runaway success. The stories dramatize dangerous, self-destructive tendencies in people so completely self-absorbed and so thoroughly addicted to their gadgets they become oblivious to the world that lives beyond their arms' reach, palpable instead of digitized. Characteristic of the best science fiction writers, "Caprica's" crew subtly allegorizes the serious ethical ramifications of post-modern advances in artificial intelligence and robotics. In the United States, the SyFy channel put "Caprica TV show" on hiatus late in 2010, holding back just a few new episodes for first broadcast sometime early in 2011. Despite the show's uncertain American future, the production team continued making new episodes for air in the United Kingdom and Canada.

From the same folks who brought you "Lost," "Fringe TV show" looks and feels a lot like "The X-Files" with way better lab equipment, except when it looks and feels a whole lot like "Altered States" as it goes to the furthest frontiers of human consciousness and imagination, except when its realism makes the show look and feel every bit as creepy as "The Twilight Zone."
