'NCIS': Robert Wagner and Michael Weatherly reunite - From Inside the Box - Zap2it

Contrary to what my wife thinks, NCIS is probably the best show on television. It's rivaled only by the likes of Hawaii Five-O. OK, so it's not science fiction, but it could be. I'm convinced that Gibbs is psychic, he has more than a sixth sense about solving crimes. He knows what's being discussed when he walks in a room of people. And while he does have episodes of Post Traumatic Stress, not only from the first Gulf War but from the death of his wife and children, it serves to strengthen him. Some of stuff they do in the lab, and the techno-babble that Abby and McGee spew is much closer to science fiction than fiction. Being a techie myself, I occasionally catch them spewing terms and phrases that make complete non-sense, but go right over the heads of the average lay-person. Still great, smart stories all in all.

Davies Chats Torchwood: The New World

Finally some GOOD news about science fiction television. I love Torchwood. Well, not the gay guy stuff, but it's a great show no matter. And they're bring back Gwen (Eve Myles), that's plenty of reason for us red-blooded, STRAIGHT men to stand-up and cheer. The bad part is that I do not subscribe to Starz so I don't know how that's gonna work out.

If you've never watched Torchwood, you have missed out on a great story. Originally set in Cardiff, Wales, an team of five "agents" from an autonomous arm of the government exists to protect the world from extra-terrestrials and paranormal phenomenon. Most every episode treated it's viewers to footage of the beautiful city of Cardiff, and it's unique culture. It's amazing what a former bobby-cop can do with guts and allot of help from weapons and technology from the future and aliens.
