(Sorry if you caught the description of “Shock”
earlier; for some reason, the official site is posting
a description of next week’s episode instead of this
one.)

The new version of The Night Stalker premiers tonight, starring Stuart Townsend as Kolchak. (The season premier of Smallville is also on tonight, but we’ll go with a review rather than discussion column. Expect that tomorrow morning.)

Boston.com has produced this list of the Top 50 Sci-Fi TV Shows of all time. As usual, the list is being disputed by sci-fi fans everywhere. My personal irritations include the inclusion of Star Trek: Voyager, Earth: Final Conflict (which made #50) and Andromeda, while omitting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Angel (though Buffy placed five spots beneath Andromeda), and Red Dwarf. Other notable shows that aren’t included on the list are Robotech, Time Tunnel, and Charlie Jade.
