Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus - This is why I'm not a fan of air travel...

This year's bestest, dumbest straight-to-DVD film Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus confirms every fear I've ever had about water, bridges, planes and the human race in general. Avoid air travel, whatever you do...

Is it too soon to get excited about the V reboot?

What became apparent in the fifth season of Lost was that Elizabeth Mitchell was the best thing in the show, acting Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lily off the screen. She may have got the boot from that show, but she's got a mighty big role in the remake of V. And with Firefly's Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk, and Smallville's Laura Vandervoort, also on the bill, this looks like it's going to be geek heaven. Shame we've got to wait until next year to see it...

I've just watched Glee!

And if there was ever a show that could knock the cynicism and misery out of me, it's this - the new comedy-drama-musical series from Popular and Nip/Tuck genius Ryan Murphy. Best described as a head-on collision between the screwball insanity of Popular and the earnest bleating of High School Musical, it hits a pitch-perfect balance between kookiness, world-weariness and optimism.

Fox are so keen on it, they premiered the first episode last week even though the rest of the series won't be shown until autumn. It looks and sounds stunning with a brilliant script and a cast featuring some cult TV faves as well as some sensational new-to-TV youngsters. Here are two toe-tappingly awesome clips...

Okay, I admit this deserved to win Eurovision...

But wouldn't it have been great if this from the Ukraine had pipped it to the post?

Dollhouse renewed!

Unbelievable news: Dollhouse has won a second season. The first season took a bit of time to get going, before turning into something expected every week - what started like a bit of a fantasy CSI case-of-the-week procedural soon became a cool conspiracy-layered thriller.

The bad news is that the budget's been cut, though this happened on the final season of Angel and wasn't overly noticeable. Let's hope they don't trim the cast too much, and Topher and De Witt have to stay - the gradual unveiling of these two two morally dubious characters as just a pair of sad, loners was truly moving. And would it be controversial to ask for the series to be slightly less about Eliza Dushku's Echo and let some of the other dolls a chance to grow?

Three cheers for Fox!

Primeval is a monster hit

There's just one problem with Primeval - and that's ITV's marketing department. Yes, the first series was about a ragtag team that goes around dealing with rampaging dinosaurs, but the writers were clever enough to realise how limiting this could be and started throwing in beasts from the future, time paradoxes, butterfly effects and oodles of conspiracy theories. Why not sell the series as that and win over some of the snootier sci-fi fans out there?

And now in its third series, Primeval has blossomed into Britain's best sci-fi franchise for some time. Hell, it's probably the best British drama on TV at the mo (not that there's much competition). The loss of painfully earnest thesp Douglas Henshall has brought about a reinvention, with new lead Jason Flemyng bringing some Tennant-esque charisma and derring-do to proceedings. The rest of the cast have been brilliantly repositioned, and Juliet Aubrey is still amazing as totally bonkers eco-warrior bad gal Helen.

And with 10 episodes to play with this time round, there's a proper story arc involving a sinister government group that looks set to bring about Armageddon. Oh, and there's the odd dinosaur on the loose too. But that's barely worth mentioning.

Here's a look at the next episode, which looks to be the most frightening thing Saturday evening telly has seen in a long time...

Jeepers! South Park take on Kanye West

Dollhouse axed or saved? Who can tell....

Blimey, Twitter has gone into meltdown over the Dollhouse debacle. Felicia Day twittered that her forthcoming episode - the last of season one - has been pulled, giving rise to chatter that Dollhouse has been axed.

Now Fox claim that they're just not showing the 13th episode as they only ordered 12 (the 13th came about after Joss shot a second pilot). So in theory, the 13th episode which was due to introduced Felicia in significant role - as well as Alan Tudyk as the much mentioned rogue active Alpha - could be the first episode of season two.

But there's still no word on Dollhouse getting a second season. Which is vexing. Could this whole episode 13 situation be engineered to give the show some press and mobilise Dollhouse fans into supporting what has the potential to be a brilliant series?
