• I believe my bed deserves to be flanked by two happy argentine robots.
• A recent ESPN ad for Marvel's Secret Invasions crossover involves a shape-changing Skrull with a trifurcated lantern jaw making out with a human. Now that's effective advertising for the booyeahing sport set.
• Oh man: Stephanie Jacobson, who played Kendra Shaw in Battlestar Galactica: Razor, is coming to The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I loved Jacobson in Razor: she was a more interesting character than 9/10ths of the regulars.

• SF Signal hosts another Mind Meld. I was invited to join this one, but forgot. The topic was "what makes a good scifi adaptation?" My answer would have been several hundred words, essentially saying: "Loose loyalty to the original: books are not movies, and should not be translated faithfully."
• These LazerTag guns are scifi objets d'art. You could frame them.
