  • Ac1dburn, on 12/27/2008, -4/+40I can't wait to find out who the final cylon is. Seriously reason alone to make it at least to July 09
  • kekemortson, on 12/27/2008, -2/+28Some interesting sci-fi coming up.....new Dr. Who, Torchwood mini-series, final Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek movie, etc......
  • astyguy, on 12/27/2008, -2/+23Why dont u like David Tennant ??? he is brilliant as Dr Who !
  • katzeyes, on 12/28/2008, -2/+21I have to say I'm going to miss David Tennant as Dr. Who - I actually really liked him in that role.
  • inactive, on 12/28/2008, -2/+18they are all cylons
    the final cylon is you, the viewer
  • aereaus, on 12/28/2008, -0/+7I just want to see more of the destroyed surface of Earth.
  • PixelMagic, on 12/28/2008, -1/+8Space is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.
  • RaulMuadDib, on 12/28/2008, -1/+7Can't wait to see Sylar in Space.
  • inactive, on 12/28/2008, -0/+62010 - the second monolith. What's going to happen?

    ...and explain everything.
  • BeShirtHappy, on 12/27/2008, -11/+17My feelings towards Battlestar Galactica are so bittersweet... I'm excited to see it but knowing it will soon be over makes me sad. As for Dr. Who - I can't help it but as much as I've tried I just don't like David Tennant as Dr. Who - so I'm looking forward to seeing the replacement.
  • Po0py, on 12/28/2008, -0/+5Oh thanks. I was just thinking about jumping out the window but now I think I'll hold off for another year.
  • almondfilter3, on 12/28/2008, -0/+5Looks like probably some poor films. Not any different than any other year.
  • xfile087, on 12/28/2008, -0/+5Dugg up for Doctor Who!
  • bob_the_alien, on 12/28/2008, -0/+5Doesn't really matter cuz no matter who becomes the next Dr. Who, The Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) will always be the best.
  • marclindsay, on 12/28/2008, -1/+5heh amusing :) now Dr Who back.... that is something worth watching :P
  • AzzX, on 12/28/2008, -1/+5Star Trek is looking quite good - surprised at how well the trailer looks. The cast resemblance is uncanny.
  • PassinGass, on 12/28/2008, -4/+82010? Pshhhh

    2012 is where its at!

    I plan to sit and be entertained at The Restaurant at the End of the World

    and yes, i RTFA
  • gogog0, on 12/28/2008, -0/+3"an embarrassment of entertainment riches"

    can't say that i've heard that term before
  • Paulish, on 12/28/2008, -0/+3How can Gaeta be the final cylon? Wasn't he in the fleet when number three said the final cylon was not in the fleet?

    I guess he COULD be seeking redemption for what he did as Baltar's assistant.
  • Slique22, on 12/28/2008, -1/+4He's going to be a hard act to beat. I mean, he completely stole the show when he was introduced, and I absolutely adore his quirkiness of the Doctor.
  • rynsa, on 12/28/2008, -0/+3This link was quite weak. I'm gonna stay alive just to see if io9 can actually put together a compelling article.
  • KaiUno, on 12/28/2008, -0/+3Your spelling leaves much to be desired as well.
  • DigitalPimptres, on 12/28/2008, -1/+3Dugg for the first pic, and the first reason.
  • Jektal, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2Don't worry, Sci-Fi has already greenlit Caprica! Which will be just the same! Except without any of the same characters, or any cylons, or any search for Earth, or any space scenes. Yeah, it'll be just the same*!

    *As Guiding Light
  • o0joshua0o, on 12/29/2008, -0/+2Movies and tv shows are my only reasons for staying alive? How depressing...
  • Jektal, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2I don't really care who they make the last Cylon, but I do want to see how this show ends, because I can't conceive it being nearly as good as they keep promising.
  • AltF3, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2Nerds get so angry at the smallest details.

    What would you have us call him? Say Dr. Who, everyone knows what your talking about, say The Doctor and everyone stares at you puzzled except the fanboys like you who will then launch themselves into a four hour long rant on the physics of the Tardis.
  • dsmx, on 12/28/2008, -1/+3It's a pity however that quite often a good trailer means a bad film.
  • aereaus, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2There's Draino under the sink and it's calling your name.
  • Jektal, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2You kid, but after almost of a week of some sort of cold/flu, I really thought the headline was speaking to me... Uggh...
  • gmuslera, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2Sci-fi predicted that we all would have flying cars by now (and antigrav skates), and missed. How we can trust that it could give good movies in 2010?

    Anyway, would they have been predicted the hit that was Matrix in 1997? Maybe the next big big movie isnt any of those.
  • ripflash, on 12/28/2008, -1/+3For me the #1 reason is to see Jeff Bridges in Tron 2.0:
    http://gizmodo.com/5029479/tron-2-trailer-video-ma ...

    ..okay, it's due in 2011 according to imdb
  • bagboyrebel, on 12/28/2008, -0/+2It's not called Tron 2.0, it was Tr2n but I think they changed it to something else. Tron 2.0 was the (surprisingly fun) computer game.
  • linagee, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1Doctah!
  • linagee, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1A kangaroo?
  • viserov, on 12/30/2008, -0/+1I just watched the first webisode... whoa... since when is Gaeta gay?
  • DigitalPimptres, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1I don't think he's impressive enough for Xena's char to freak over...but if you see the new webisode? Who knows...
  • kalkin, on 12/28/2008, -1/+2this article was empty of any content. undugg!
  • Synova, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1It's Boomer.
  • arkaycee, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1Who is Number One?
  • inactive, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1While your waiting to go back on solid foods here is something to do -

  • tomselleck69, on 12/28/2008, -1/+2Scott Pilgrim is good but I just don't know if I want to be alive anymore.
  • Jektal, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1Headline: 2010

    You: 2013

    Math fail.
  • inactive, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1It seems that we destroyed it (and ourself) before they came.. which was probably the better. With the advance weapons and technology that those people were bringing we would've destroyed it anyways.
  • katzeyes, on 12/31/2008, -0/+1I know right? I was so upset when I found that Christopher Eccleston was leaving. Then I saw David Tennant and instantly "believed" he was the dr. :)
  • inactive, on 12/28/2008, -0/+1While looking for a a better vid of this it happened and I am trying to
    recover. The doctor tells me I can get off the I.V. feed soon. -

    ALL POINTS ALERT! Do not press this big flashing shinny red button!!!

    >>>>>>>WARNING!<<<<<<<<
    (It's gonna hurt something awful):

    I know your thinking about it but don't do it. Noooo...dooon't!

  • ReDoEr, on 12/29/2008, -0/+1final Cylon is Tom Zarek. All four of the others have a "T" in their name: Tigh, Tyrol and Tory, and Anders' middle initial is T.
