The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace. A self contained world, five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, the year the Great War came upon us all.
This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

ABC has officially green-lit the pilot for a remake of 80’s miniseries V. Written and executive produced by Scott Peters, it will still be about aliens (Visitors) who say they’ve come to help Earth, but they’re dirty dirty liars. It’ll focus on “Erica Evans, a Homeland Security agent with an aimless son. When the aliens arrive, her son gloms on to them — causing tension within the family.” Jason Hall is also producing and Warner Bros. TV is producing. Read the rest of this entry »

1. If you’re an Arrested Development fan, you’ll love the similar attention to small details and running gags that permeate the series (such as Liz’s catchphrase “Blerg!” that is later seen as an Ikea-ish shipping box) and Will Arnett’s frequent guest roles. I swear, I keep catching more background jokes every time I rewatch the series.
2. Tracy Morgan is a sight to behold as Tracy Jordan, the Dave Chapelle-ish star of “TGS With Tracy Jordan”. His unusual cadence, extreme unpredictability (the first time we see him, he’s nearly nude, running down a highway, swinging a sword and shouting “I AM A JEDI! I AM A JEDI!”) and utterly bizarre non sequiturs make every scene with him a countdown to the unusual. Plus, you gotta love a guy who largely plays a caricature of himself (like Jordan, Morgan was on a sketch comedy show: SNL).
