Charmed and Supernatural Are Among the Top Ten Shows We Foolishly Decide We Can Watch All At Once, If Only We Don’t Sleep

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, April 11th, 2013

Ahhh, binge watching. I love it and I hate it. Thinking of that time I watched 16 episodes of Community in one day fills me with pride, just as remembering how I spent that whole day slouched on the sofa, smelly and covered in popcorn kernels and spilled salsa, makes me feel the tiniest bit bad about the direction my life has taken.

Even if we feel bad about binge watching, we’ve all done it. And a recent study by The NPD Group has determined which shows we’re binge-watching most frequently.

Jodie Foster Fronting Female-Centered Mob Drama Angie’s Body

by Alanna Bennett | 12:30 pm, August 14th, 2012

Showtime is saying goodbye to two of its female-headed shows soon; Weeds airs the end of its eight season run this September, and The Big C will end with four hour-long episodes next year. The network won’t be completely bereft of shows with women in the lead role, however; Jodie Foster is developing a show that kind of sounds like the female Sopranos.

Genre Stars Give Us The Definitive Spoiler Rules [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 1:17 pm, March 13th, 2012

There’s been extra spoiler arguments lately due to recent happenings on The Walking Dead. Hell, even AMC accidentally spoiled something on their website. We do our best here at The Mary Sue to make sure we don’t spoil anything for you but we all make mistakes sometimes. (When debating a spoiler just yesterday, Jamie asked me if a baby could have been conceived and born since the time the event took place. That’s her rule.) But for those who blatantly spoil entertainment for the rest of us, a few Hollywood actors are here to lay down the law. Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette from True Blood), Andre Royo (Bubbles from The Wire), Julie Benz (Rita from Dexter), Michael Trucco (Anders from Battlestar Galactica), Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori from The Walking Dead), and Masi Oka (Hiro from Heroes) present the spoiler rules. The only missing thing from this video? Alex Kingston’s River Song.

I Swear, John Carter Of Mars Is Really Interesting

by Susana Polo | 1:17 pm, July 14th, 2011

This is the first trailer for Disney’s John Carter of Mars, based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom series, which follows the adventures of the titular Marty Stu John Carter, a Civil War veteran who cannot remember his own past and who is transported inexplicably to the planet of Mars where he finds a couple of vastly different, vibrant, warring civilizations.

No! Wait, don’t go away! I know this is a story you’ve heard a beeeeeellion times before but just let me talk about why I’m kind of excited for John Carter of Mars.

Masi Oka Gets (to Write) a SyFy Pilot

by Jamie Frevele | 3:58 pm, April 24th, 2011

Heroes actor Masi Oka has signed a deal with SyFy to develop a pilot for a new scripted series called The Correctors. No word on whether Oka will be acting in the series, but he will be the executive producer for the show if the series is picked up. He will be working out the story with Alex Sabeti, who will handle the writing. From Screenrant:

The story for The Correctors is described as a mix of alternate universe action and time travel. It follows two agents who travel to a parallel universe (Olivia Dunham and Peter Bishop‘s ears are turning red) to inhabit the bodies of their parrallel selves. While on missions, they “correct” events and/or prevent disasters from occurring.

Well, Oka already has some experience with time-hopping storylines, doesn’t he? This announcement comes on the heels of the Rockne O’Bannon series announcement. Along with the new superhero series Alphas and the Battlestar Galactica spinoff BSG: Blood and Chrome, it might be fair to say that SyFy is on a scripted series kick after a bunch of reality shows.
