Futurama – It’s only six days away! Too bad that the season premiere of Futurama has to be on the furthest day to still qualify for this week’s Sci-Friday. Either way, this is going to be awesome and you need to watch it. It starts Thursday the 24th at 10PM on Comedy Central, and that episode will be an hour long.

Doctor Who - The Doctor and Co. face the Silurian’s in an episode called “Cold Blood”. It will air Saturday night at 9PM on BBC America. If Amy Pond dies I might hate this show afterward. Promo below the cut.

Through the Wormhole – Wednesday at 10PM on Science Channel they’ll be discussing whether time travel is possible.

True Blood - Vampires count as sci-fi right? Well, maybe it’s more fantasy, but I’m pretty sure living off of blood as vampires do is in fact scientifically inaccurate, which makes it science fiction. The season premiere is at 9PM Sunday night on HBO.

Robocop - Today’s as good as any to finish the trio of what were really awesome Paul Verhoeven films (Robocop, Total Recall, & Starship Troopers). The story of a cop in crime riddled Detroit (present-day Detroit?) who is murdered and then brought back to life, but without his memory, as the cyborg Robocop.  If you haven’t seen it, you need to.

Did you think it being Saturday would deter me from still doing Sci-Friday? No way.

Robot Holocaust – This week I wanted to feature something that everyone could have the opportunity to see, so I decided to try and find something in the sci-fi section on Hulu. I spotted this ‘gem’ and checked out the synopsis, I haven’t seen it myself, but I’m definitely going to be watching it.  DO NOT go into it expecting a good movie. This should be considered sci-fi comedy at best. Allow me to apologize in advance in case it really sucks. Because it’s from Hulu I’m able to post it here, so check it out under the cut.

Doctor Who – The Doctor is back with a brand new episode tonight at 9PM on BBC America titled “The Time of Angels”. Check out the promo under the cut.

Mass Effect – This is a fantastic game.  It came out in late 2007 for the Xbox 360 and early 2008 for the PC. In it you play as Commander Shepard(male or female depending on your choice), the first human to become a spectre, and the galaxy’s best hope for survival. You are tasked with tracking down Saren, a rogue spectre, who is enacting a plot to destroy the known galaxy with the aid of the inorganic race the geth.

If you have an Xbox 360 and haven’t gotten a chance to play this game it’s currently available in Games on Demand.  Whether it’s available the same way for Windows I am unsure.

Imagine Greater? It’s more like Imagine why we changed our name from Sci-Fi to SyFy. Was it to be able to register our channel’s name as a trademark? Yes. Was it also because we’re planning on steering away from being a science fiction channel? Also Yes.
