Falling Skies Season 2 – 1 Week Left, 2 New Videos!

With just 1 week left before the premiere of Falling Skies ahead of us, wouldn’t it be nice to have a little something to soothe the ache of waiting?  Fear not, because the ever-reliable site Three If By Space has two new behind the scenes videos for fans to enjoy!

In the first video, Who Can You Trust?, it’s made very clear that the mystery behind the invasion is far deeper and more complex than we could have imagined.  Things are going to get very interesting and unbelievably intense from the very first episode and continue that way throughout the entire season.

In the second video, Ben’s Transformation, we see clips of a changed Ben Mason interspersed with Connor Jessup explaining how his character has morphed from season one’s happy, peaceful kid into a strong, fast fighting machine.  It looks like Jessup’s character is going to play a much larger role in season 2 and it will be an extremely fascinating thing to see.

SciFi Tunes Meet Metal – Gifted Musician Eric “Erock” Calderone Rocks Your Geek World

It’s a given that we all love science fiction and that love is not limited to the stories or the characters themselves.  When we sit down to enjoy one of our favorite scifi TV shows or movies, often the thing that sets the mood and gets us ready for what we’re about to see is the theme song.

These songs are more than just a starting point or bookend to the entertainment we’re about to enjoy, they’re part of the family, so to speak.  Theme songs can be as important as characters to fans of a show, especially when it comes to the famously loyal genre crowd.  We often hum along, grin, or just listen with great pleasure knowing the song is the appetizer to our wonderful scifi meal to come.

Genre fans are the most loyal fans in the world, but they’re a tough crowd and look with great skepticism upon any changes that may be brought to their beloved shows.  When those changes are done poorly, the fan outcry is at a level unmatched by anything on this, or any other, planet.  When those changes are done right, the cheers can be heard throughout the galaxy.

I’d like to introduce you to a guitar genius by the name of Eric “Erock” Calderone who’s taken the risky step of making metal versions of a lot of songs, many of them well-known science fiction/fantasy themes.  The good news?  Eric has done right by these songs and given them a new feel that will make you a bigger fan of the song and a huge fan of Eric’s talents.

He’s done dozens of songs, some scifi/fantasy related, some not, but I’d like to start you off with his rendition of the Doctor Who Theme Song/I Am The Doctor below:

Brand New Prometheus International Trailer & Much More!

There have been several videos released over the past few months surrounding the highly-anticipated release of the movie Prometheus, the long-awaited return to the universe that first brought us the fantastically creepy Alien and its sequels.  While it’s been quiet lately, something huge has just appeared online that you’ll want to see if you’re even slightly interested in this movie.

Over at Three If By Space I’ve just posted an article that features the brand-new international trailer for Prometheus.  In it, there’s tons of new footage, plenty of Charlize Theron’s character, some hints at the plot and oodles of new alien lifeforms!

If that’s not enough for you, I’ve also included a featurette called Prometheus – 30 Years In The Making, the original full trailer, the TED 2023 speech by Peter Weyland, and my personal favorite, the uber-creepy advertisement entitled Introducing the David 8 – The Next Generation Weyland Robot.

Fox Renews Fringe For 5th Season

It was looking like this would be the last season for one of the best scifi dramas ever to air on television, but Fox executive Kevin Reilly also kept hinting there was still hope.  Well, now we know he was sincere in those hints as Fox has renewed Fringe for a 5th season.

It will be a shortened season, consisting of only 13 episodes, but at least we get more Fringe and should get proper closure for the show and its wonderful characters.  The consistently supportive fan-base and their huge online presence played at leas some part in this decision, I’m sure.

No matter how it came to be, I’m just happy we’re getting more Fringe and more of Walter Bishop’s craziness.
