"Doctor Who" is popular, right? Of course it is. Matt Smith has been a pleasant surprise, and a strong follow-up to David Tennant, which many fans still consider their favorite Doctor of all time. So why do rumors continue to circulate about the end of "Doctor Who"? If British viewers are tuning in, and American viewers are tuning it, it should be just as safe as "NCIS" is in the United States. But for some reason, those rumors continue to circulate. "The economy has had a lot to do with the problems the show is having," Airlock Alpha columnist and "Doctor Who" fanatic Ann Morris recently told Alpha Waves Radio. "I know they are not getting the revenue they did in advertising in this country. There are fans here, but they can't afford second tier cable, and BBC America is not on ...

It was a bit of a coup to get David Strathairn to star in the new Syfy series "Alphas." But don't expect him to be nothing more than a "Charlie" to his "Angels," doing the same thing week in and week out. In fact, expect a lot, lot more from him. "With David Strathairn -- we wouldn't get him if the part was just every week you're going to deliver a case," co-creator Zak Penn recently told Airlock Alpha columnist Ann Morris in a media conference call. Strathairn "knew that going in that was not going to be the case." Strathairn -- who has starred in some interesting roles over the years like the Bourne movie series, "L.A. Confidential" and "A League of Their Own" -- plays Dr. Leigh Rosen, a scientist who wants to find uses for those handful of people who have been able to harness ...

I'm really not in the practice of responding to our columnists here on Airlock Alpha. My approach is typically to let the columnists do what they do best -- incite great conversation -- and just stand on my soapbox every Friday or so in this column. But I do have to talk a little bit about Ann Morris' column that ran this week. In that column, Ann talked about a panel appearance I made at Oasis 24 in Orlando a couple weeks back. There, my good fandom friend Juan Sanmiguel invited me to speak on a panel about the Hugo Awards, handed out each year by the World Science Fiction Society. Juan, for the record, is a huge fan of the awards. I'm simply a fan. He wanted to talk about the different nominees for the awards this year, and I wanted to talk about the awards itself. Here is...

This Saturday night marks the premiere of Syfy's latest cryptozoological creature feature, Mothman. Earlier this week I somehow got invited to get up extra early (by my standards) to take part in a conference call Q&A with stars Jewel Staite and Connor Fox.
Perhaps it was lack of sleep that led to me realize shortly after the call began that I had no earthly clue what the heck to ask either of them. Could also have been due to having not seen the film and Syfy not having done much to promote it until the past couple days.
I'm guessing most of the other callers taking part also had some difficulty coming up with questions to ask considering someone actually asked them to compare Louisiana and California movie catering. Anyway, here's the transcript of the call for those interested in hearing more about Mothman as well as "Stargate", "Firefly...
