Sci-Fi Squad Sci-Fi Movies, News, Trailers, DVDs and More

Here's a look at tonight's sci-fi TV:

FlashForward, 'Revelation Zero' – FlashForward heads back to ABC with an answer to one of the series' biggest questions: Who is Suspect Zero? We'll find out tonight as Demetri teams up with CIA agent Vogel to find Lloyd, and Mark sits through a therapy session to get back his badge. Elsewhere, Janis uncovers some of Simon's family secrets, and later Mark discovers an unnerving truth: Another worldwide blackout is on the way. Guest star Ricky Jay returns, apparently to terrorize Simon and Lloyd. (8 p.m. ET on ABC)

Archer, 'Dial M for Mother' – Archer falls into a trap while searching for clues to his father's identity in the animated spy comedy's season finale. (10 p.m. ET on FX)

Sci-fi royalty Sigourney Weaver has singed to play the vampire queen in Amy Heckerling's horror-comedy Vamps.

The flick stars Clueless vet Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter as a pair of hard-partying NYC vampire chicks whose lives are complicated by, you guessed it, true love.

Weaver will take on the role of the ladies' sire, Ciccerus, a bloodthirsty creature of the night.

Heckerling hasn't directed a hit since Clueless permeated the culture back in the mid-'90s. I doubt Vamps will be able to repeat the success of that film or ... er ... eclipse the current mega-popular fang-toothed movie franchise, but it sounds like a fun romp and a decent comeback vehicle for Silverstone.

I was already interested in Vamps after I heard Ritter (who had memorable recurring roles on Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls) had joined the cast. I can't wait to see this thing now that Ripley has signed on.

Here's a look at tonight's sci-fi TV:

Lost, "Recon" – We haven't seen much of Sawyer in the past few weeks, but the former Lafleur makes a big comeback on tonight's all-new episode. Our favorite literature lovin' grifter locks eyes and butts heads with a dangerous con woman in the sideways world. Back on the island, the Lockeness Monster sends Sawyer on a mission while Kate deals with Crazy Claire (Watch your back Kate!). (9 p.m. ET on ABC)

FlashForward, "What Did You See?" – If you're like me, you're just waiting to see Battlestar Galactica's James Callis show up on FlashForward to tell Joseph Fiennes and crew to go frak themselves and stop obsessing over the blackout already! Well, that's not gonna happen tonight, because this is just a clip show that recaps the first half of the season. (10 p.m. ET on ABC)

Looking for something good and geeky to watch? Check out this week's new sci-fi DVD releases:

The Fourth Kind (DVD and Blu-ray)
Milla Jovovich stars in this sci-fi flick that, sadly, doesn't involve her firing two machine guns at once or kicking zombies in the face. But The Fourth Kind makes up for its lack of Resident Evil-style action with some decent chills and genuinely creepy moments. Jovovich plays a psychologist investigating a string of alien abductions in Nome, Alaska. But despite the fun scares, the film mostly falls apart when trying to balance its grainy "actual" footage of alien abduction craziness with its overstylized "reenactments."

Astro Boy (DVD and Blu-ray)
I don't know much about Astro Boy, the mega popular Japanese manga series first published in the 1950s. But I do know that Astro Boy fans were mixed over this derivative if ultimately good-hearted CGI kid's flick.

Also new this week: Mystery Science Theater 3000: XVII and Clash of the Gods: The Complete Season One.

Here's a look at tonight's sci-fi TV:

Chuck, "Chuck Versus the Tic Tac" - The T-1000 himself, Robert Patrick, shows up on tonight's Chuck as an important figure from Casey's past. Chuck and Sarah team up to help Casey work a mission for his old handler while Morgan and Awesome help Chuck win back Sarah's heart. This sounds like a Casey-centric episode, which should please all the Browncoats out there. (8 p.m. ET on NBC)

Here's a look at tonight's sci-fi TV:

Caprica, 'The Imperfections of Memory' – Joseph tours the V-world in search of Tamara and gets lost in the ultraviolent New Cap City game. Zoe takes a break from her mission to fly a virtual Viper (that's right!) with the geeky Graystone Industries tech. Back at Graystone Manor, Amanda begins to have strange visions about her dead brother, leading Clarice to exploit her vulnerable state. (9 p.m. ET on Syfy)

Here's a look at tonight's sci-fi TV:

Lost, 'Dr. Linus' – We jump back to the sideways world and catch up with Ben, who's working in Los Angeles as a simple schoolteacher (or is he an evil schoolteacher?) alongside our old buddy Arzt. On the island, Ben is forced to face the consequences of his lies while Team Jacob learn about The Lockness Monster's attack on the temple. Tonight's ep is supposedly the start of the season's second act. While I'm not exactly sure what that means, I'm excited about discovering what kind of person Ben turns out to be when he's not surrounded by Dharma bums, ageless others, smoke monsters, and killer polar bears. (9 p.m. ET on ABC)

There's no shortage of blog posts about Lost fan art on the Interweb, especially since funnyman Paul Scheer got the ball rolling in a big way last year. But superfan Jared Stumpenhorst's latest labor of Lost love deserves a mention.

To celebrate the show's final season, the graphic designer is creating a new piece of art inspired by Lost every day this year. Stumpenhorst calls the effort 'Lost 365', and so far he's created 31 awesome tributes to Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse's addictive island saga.

You can check out Stumpenhorst's clever and imaginative art on his blog. My favorites include the bright piece inspired by Sawyer, a Dharma bunnies poster, and his interpretation of Fake Locke, or Flocke (or whatever the Internet is calling him these days). You can also follow the artist on Twitter, and remember to tell him SciFi Squad sent ya.

Here's a look at tonight's sci-fi TV:

Chuck, 'Chuck Versus the Beard' – Things start to fall apart for Chuck when his flashing abilities go kaput and the team ditches him to work on a dangerous mission. Sounds like our boy could use a little lovin' from Kristin Kreuk's Hannah -- too bad he dumped her last week! Diedrich Bader and Reno 911's Cedric Yarbrough guest star on tonight's ep, directed by star Zachary Levi and featuring the return of Jeffster! (8 p.m. ET on NBC)

Here's a look at tonight's sci-fi TV:

Caprica, 'Know Thy Enemy' – He tortured the slayer on Buffy, sent Captain Jack a-spinnin' on Torchwood and threw down with Goku in Dragonball Evolution. Tonight James Marsters brings his special brand of bag guy fun to the Battlestar Galactica universe as terrorist leader Barnabus Greeley on Caprica. Elsewhere, Daniel Graystone is haunted by his decision to steal technology from a rival company, and Clarice hunts down Zoe's avatar. (9 p.m. ET on Syfy)
