ST: Voyager Previews
This article on the official Trek web site has synopses of the last three episodes of Voyager before the two-hour series finale. If the crew is returning to Earth at all, they’re doing it in that finale; these last three episodes look pretty run-of-the-mill to me. Below is a cynical view of what might happen after the crew returns to Earth…

What Goes Great With Summer Movies? Summer Ad Campaigns
You just can’t make a movie without promotional tie-ins these days, it seems. The Tomb Raider people just announced their alliance with the Pepsi/Taco Bell megaplex, and with Land Rover. Not yet ready to admit defeat, Coca-Cola counters with an alliance with the Harry Potter movie, complete with literacy campaign.
Superman DVD Preview/Review
Those wacky folks at AICN managed to get a preview of the re-edited “Superman” movie that’s due for DVD release. Their general impression (and, if all the information is accurate, I’d likely agree) is that in their haste to make things prettier they managed to make the movie a bit less cohesive altogether. Read all about it.
Harry Potter: Dispelled By Rain?
A British newspaper recently reported that filming on the “Sorcerer’s Stone” movie (or “Philosopher’s Stone” for most of the non-US world) was running behind due to the wicked weather in England. In traditional spin fashion, Warner Brothers execs are denying the rumors. In other news, John Williams, who has composed such forgettable scores as all the Star Wars music, will be scoring the aforementioned movie.

Disclaimer: This isn’t really SF or fantasy in any sense of the word.
I’m just a big fan of Kevin Smith, who’s arguably just a grown-up fanboy

Thank you, drive through.
If you’re still reading, soak up the review
of the “Clerks Uncensored” video/DVD just released today.
…got Mulder? (X-Files Reviews: Within and Without)
As if we didn’t know, the season premiere of “The X-Files” is this Sunday. And, lucky media whore that I am, I’ve already seen the first two episodes. My local Fox affiliate was having a big promotional bit for it — I got to see the show, and The Pageant (a new nightclub/concert venue, that’s only been open for a couple weeks). Both were spiffy. For a news-ish impression of the new season, visit this here news story. For my somewhat less enlightening, but hopefully more-fun, interpretation thereof (replete with minor spoilers), see below.

X-Files’ New Blood
choochus writes, According to this article
over at E! Online News
there will be a new charater coming to X-Files. The article mentions that the currently unamed

The Future of X-Files
fiziko writes There’s an article
over here that talks about the possiblities of a ninth season and second movie for the X-Files. It’s short, but informative. Nothing really new, but it never hurts to keep up-to-date.
