Before you read too far into this and start thinking, "Hey, does that Michael Hinman guy even like 'Defiance?'" let me answer the question for you. Yes, I like "Defiance." A lot. It's on my must-see television list (which is not a very big list because I lead a very busy life), with an amazing co ...

It's hard to even have a conversation that includes both "Warehouse 13" and "cancellation" in the same sentence. But it makes it much easier when you add a third word to that mix: "Syfy." Just a few years ago, "Eureka" reigned supreme, and it was widely believed that series would either have a lo ...

It's one of those situations where you get blamed if something goes wrong, but forgotten if something goes right. When a show gets cancelled, the first target for many people is The Nielsen Co., the research firm that has provided television ratings as long as television has existed. Because they ...

When I first got the press screener kit for "Fringe" back in 2008, I wasn't quite sure what to make of this show. The pilot seemed interesting, but to me, it was almost like Fox was trying to resurrect "The X-Files," but just with a different dynamic. And even the early episodes of "Fringe" felt ...

The "F" in the middle of the name is not capitalized, so it should read as "Syfy," not "SyFy." That might not have been the best time to let everyone know, especiall ...

Ever since the first time I heard the soothing calm voices of disc jockeys on a small radio station in Pennsylvania called WKBI, I knew I wanted to be on the radio. I remember telling anyone who would listen, including adult friends of my parents. But whenever I would tell them, they would pract ...

Every year, I have celebrated the anniversary of Airlock Alpha with a history, a "wow, I can't believe I'm still doing this after all these years," some hope for the future, and a few accolades. I'll try to fit a few of them in here in this column as we celebrate Airlock Alpha's 14th birthday (wh ...

If you were to describe progress on a "Battlestar Galactica" big-screen adaptation, "slow" might be the best word. And for a while, I felt that was perfect. Because to me, the slower a project develops, the less likely it will ever be completed -- especially with someone as busy as director Bryan ...

Thursday night, I was lined up to see "The Dark Knight Rises." I was back in Florida after a week in San DIego for Comic-Con there, and I could not wait to see the conclusion of a trilogy featuring my favorite comic book character. As I left the theater that night, I had no idea that less than 2, ...
