The science-fiction television series Enterprise has been getting very good during this fourth season. After season 3 where all of the episodes were focused on the war against the Zindi, the series went back to a variety of cool topics. One episode that is currently being prepared for the second half of season 4 is an alternate universe story where we’ll see a ship very reminescent of the old Enterprise from the original series. Check out these cool pics on TrekToday.com.

  • One of the new TV shows that looked interesting this fall was Father of the Bride, a computer-animated sitcom starring the animals that Siegfried and Roy use for their Las Vegas shows. The lead character, Larry the lion, is voiced by John Goodman. The animation is superb, but the humor is questionable. Quite a few gags are for a very mature public and others are plain stupid, making you wonder if they were written by a grade-school student. Too bad. We could have used a good new animated sitcom.

  • Enterprise has been renewed by UPN for a fourth season! This is good news. We’ll get to see what happens after the whole battle with the Xindi. The show has become quite interesting in this last season and it would have been quite a shame to loose it.

  • There’s a new animated comedy in town. Scifi’s Tripping the Rift is based on a hilarious animated short film that went around the net a few years ago. The first season will include 13 episodes, playing every Thursday on the Sci-Fi network. For us Canadians, the series is supposed to air on Space starting in April. If you’re really desperate, there’s always BitTorrent.

  • Dark Angel Lives On! Even though the series was cancelled after two seasons, and never saw an ending on TV, the series lives on. Two books have been published based on the show. The first one, Before the Dawn, is a prequel to the series, while Skin Game is a sequel, picking up where the series ended. Both of these are already out. A third novel is scheduled for a June release, called After the Dark.

    As well, a Dark Angel video game was released for the Playstation 2 and XBox and the Complete First Season will be offered on DVD shortly.
