This entry is part 1 of 8 in the series SF News Bites
Glee
Season two brings us hope and promise for Kurt to find a new boyfriend. I’m excited over this prospect because Glee has a track record of being very respectful in their portrayal of minorities. In addition to that they have done such a great job in representing Kurt as a gay character especially in the episode when he comes out to his friends and family. (via 365gay)

Merlin Season two will be aired in the US on SyFy starting April 2. (via Whedonesque)

AD/DC has a new album due to release April 19th called AC/DC: Iron Man 2. It’s a collection of their songs to be featured in Iron Man 2. Preorder your copy here: Iron Man 2 (Deluxe CD/ DVD Package). They have also posted a video of “Shoot To Thrill.” (via AC/DC)
Stone Age Medicine
Bit of Odd news, stone age medicine more advanced than thought. Evidence found to show amputation performed in sterile conditions (via Unexplained Mysteries)
Glee is one of the best shows to air this fall. Like Joss Whedon it too is my biggest addiction. From the amazing singing, eclectic music covered, tight writing, and deep social themes covered Glee will make you laugh, cry, think and feel edified in the end. If you haven’t watched it there are some of the more recent episodes streaming on line Here.
Social Themes
This show is able to tackle such deep and complicated social issues like
the need and pressures of being accepted
teen pregnancy
the benefits of diversity and being a social freak
self acceptance
self actualization
being passionate about whatever you do
I love how the show starts out with the deep honest admittance that everyone is a looser. It was such a shocking statement to hear but once we realize everyone is a looser we are able to move on to do that which you love and not to worry about everyone else.
Mr. Schuester splits the Glee Club into pairs to sing their favorite ballad, but when one kid gets sick, he’s forced to step in and winds up in a sticky situation. Meanwhile, Finn and Quinn have to face the music when dinner with her parents goes awry.
Glee episode 110 “Ballad” airs Date. Watch it streaming online on Hulu.
Joss Whedon has agreed to direct one of the back nine episodes that Fox just ordered. -EW
This comes as bitter-sweet news since Fox will be canceling Dollhouse.
Sweet
Joss is a big fan of Glee which comes as no big surprise for several reasons.
The show rocks!
The music is great
The messages behind the story is both challenging and edifying
I’m stoked to find Joss is directing an episode. He is brilliant director who also shares in a passion for music. His episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer – Once More, with Feeling and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog are testaments to his acumen in that field. Personally I hope the episode he directs is the one where Will and Finn find out that they have been lied to about their fatherhood.
Bitter
The bitter part of this news is that it comes out on the back of Fox’s announcement of canceling Dollhouse. I have been silent so far on this subject because I feel a long string of expletives wont solve any thing.
If Fox thinks this move will appease the fans for all of the BS over Dollhouse then they are more foolish then originally believed. There is a coming storm but Fox will find it a quiet one. Fox doesn’t respect Joss, they don’t respect the fans and so I will not support them. They are lucky that Glee is over there it’s the last Fox show I watch. They should thanks their lucky stars that they didn’t cancel Glee like they originally wanted to before it got a chance to air.
On the plus side Joss is free of them once again and I hope that he goes independent with Dollhouse or at least with his next project. I can’t wait for Doctor Horrible 2 and other projects out of Joss Whedon Digital Studio.
When Artie’s chances of traveling with the group to Regionals are in question, Will challenges the kids to step out of their comfort zones and experience life from a different point of view. Meanwhile, the Glee Club hosts its first “diva-off” between Kurt and Rachel, and Sue reveals a softer side.
Glee 109 Wheels airs on November 11, 2009. Watch it streaming online on Hulu

Glee just gets better and better. In Wheels the students are challenged to explore what it is like to live with a disability. They start with Artie and what it is like to be in a wheel chair and then they sneak in some bigger questions and points. Imagine what Sue might have to say about the subject.
I really have to give them credit for how they handled people with down syndrome. Having a niece with down syndrom I tend to get defensive and protective whenever the subject gets brought. They did such a good job I was brought almost to tears, kudos!

Pterodactyl | ghost hunting | Michael Jackson’s Ghost | Gayngels | Vampire diaries | Sanctuary | Doctor Who | Clone Wars | Fall Line Up | Green Wing | Manga and Community Comments on Speculative Fiction Today.
With so many Speculative Fiction shows and new shows coming out this fall I thought I could help sort them all out.
Currently Airing
Eureka (Syfy): A fun sci-fi show. Love it, watch it on Hulu
Ghost Hunters (Syfy): Fascinating exploration of U.S. ghost stories and haunting investigation. Love it watch it on Hulu
Warehouse 13 (Syfy): A fun sci-fi show that adds a dash of paranormal into it. Love it, watch it on Hulu
SEPTEMBER 9
Glee (FOX): loved the pilot, a nice feel good musical tale with a dash of fantasy.
Destination Truth (Syfy): Loved the previous seasons can’t wait to see what Josh and the gang get into this season. Hopefully nothing from Chernobyl bit Josh.
SEPTEMBER 10
The Vampire Diaries (CW): A vampire is in it so I have to check it out but I don’t have much hope. I realize it is not a Twilight clone (I have been schooled on that subject, lol) yet I can only hope that it is way better then Twilight.
Supernatural (CW): I’m a sucker for a paranormal show involving demon hunters so this is on my check out list because I also realize there are a lot of bad ones out there as well.
The Forgotten (ABC): I don’t have much hope for this show, mainly I’m concerned this will turn out to be yet another show for people who don’t like sci-fi to watch.
SEPTEMBER 23
Eastwick (ABC): The trailers looks really good, they captured the essence of the movie so well in the promotional material I’m looking forward to watching it.
SEPTEMBER 25
Dollhouse (FOX): Season one rocked!!! A must see
Smallville (CW): I could appreciate the concept behind Smallville but until this season just didn’t care enough bout the show to want to watch it but with Callum Blue joining the cast this year I think I may start watching it.
SEPTEMBER 27
The Simpsons (FOX): If you don’t know then I’m at a loss for words.
Stargate Universe (Syfy): I started out not caring much about this show, but as more came out and especially the latest trailers I’m excited to watch it.
Clone Wars: Rise of the Bounty Hunters (Cartoon): Season two of George Lucas’ animated Star Wars tales covering the era of the Clone Wars. The animation style is a unique style that has been difficult for some to get into but worth it. The story is really good though lighter because the show is marketed more towards a kid audience I have hope that the second season will get better.
OCTOBER 9
Ugly Betty (ABC): What an amazing retelling of the classic fantasy tale
Sanctuary (Syfy): The original web series was good. The first season was awesome so of course I’m looking forward to season two.
NOVEMBER 3
V (ABC): I enjoyed growing up with the original show V and it is one that could use a retelling, plus Morena Baccarin.
November 7
Legend of the Seeker (syndication): Season one was so good I can’t wait to see how season two unfolds.
I find it interesting that all of the speculative fiction programming out there are on either sy-fy, Fox, CW, or ABC.
