Suvudu Universe

Let there be no doubt that Fox Television hates science fiction and I hate Fox. I speculated last fall that only one of Fox's new science fiction/fantasy shows would survive: 'Sleepy Hollow' or 'Almost Human.' I wasn't sure which one would make it, but I knew only one would. I call it the "Fox Thunderdome." Two shows walk in and only one comes out.

I originally thought 'Sleepy Hollow' was more likely to be chopped, namely because 'Almost Human' had some big names behind it--Karl Urban and J.J. Abrams. But 'Sleepy Hollow' proved to be quirky and creative, which earned it a fast fan base. The futuristic show 'Almost Human' started slow, but ended well with decent ratings. I'm especially confused because 'The Following' had similar ratings, but somehow managed a renewal. Needless to say, fans have been raging for the last few days. Of course a petition has been created. It would be delightful if the SyFy Channel picked up the show, but the likelihood of that is nil to null. SyFy is more interested in wrestling these days.

With the success of 'Orphan Black' it's no surprise that another clone series is coming to television, appropriately titled 'Clone.' The series is being produced by 'The Walking Deads' Robert Kirkman.

Halle Berry comes to SciFi on a new television show produced by Steven Spielberg, called 'Extant.' Check out the trailer.
