vampire diaries

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

Fringe, "The Bishop Revival" – The team is called in to investigate when a group of people mysteriously suffocate in a room full of air. Walter connects the incident to an experiment he was working on in Germany and later makes a shocking discovery involving the Bishop family and the Nazi regime. It's the Fringe team vs. Nazis, a showdown so potentially awesome that it makes up for the apparent lack of alternate dimension craziness in this episode. (9 p.m. ET on Fox)

The Vampire Diaries, "Unpleasantville" – The Vampire Diaries reminds us that it's nothing more than a gothed-up teen soap with another hour of bubbly high school drama. Damon and Stefan fight over who gets to slow dance with Elena at the sock hop while a crazy new vampire crashes the party. Sounds like somebody spiked the punch! (8 p.m. ET on The CW)

Supernatural, "Swap Meet" – Supernatural takes a cue from an '80s Fred Savage movie when a nerdy teen swaps bodies with Sam. (9 p.m. ET on The CW)

Archer, "Killing Utne" – Assassins target a UN intelligence chairman at Malory's dinner party. Also, Archer insults the help. (10 p.m. ET on FX)

In Canada, they give out little awards called Geminis, and Variety reports that during the first round of award giving, Stargate Atlantis grabbed wins for Dramatic Series Writing and Make-Up.

Fringe is getting a new villain, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sebastian Roche (CW's The Beautiful Life) will play a soldier from another dimension, replacing Thomas Kretschmann who had a scheduling conflict. Added bonus: Trent Reznor is getting in on the musical action.

MTV recently talked with David Duchovny, and he thinks yet another X-Files flick could happen.

Get ready for more Vampire Diaries. Variety reports that CW has ordered a full season of the show based on L.J. Smith's YA series.
