Power Teaser

Amazon's upcoming all-girls-can-shoot-electricity series The Power, now has its first teaser and also a firm premiere date of March 31.

A skilled marketing team can make anything look good so we don't want to get too excited but this one gives us a tingle.

La Brea Renewed

Filmed in Australia sinkhole sci-fi drama La Brea isn't a show we'd call great. We couldn't make it through the first episode. Critics also don't love it.

But it continues to rate not terribly on US network television and in later streaming. Enough to be renewed for a third season.

Powerful March

Amazon have set a launch window for their upcoming sci-fi drama The Power, which stars Australia's own Toni Collette as Mayor Margot Cleary-Lopez.

Since Toni only joined in an August main role recasting, that's impressively swift.

Picard S3 Trailer

Curiously coming to us through Comicbook.com rather than Paramount or Star Trek accounts we have the trailer for Star Trek: Picard's third and final season.

It's action packed and a far cry from the old man (Picard) moping about a vineyard promo which launched this series to cries of what-the-f is this?

Davies on Diversity

In a recent interview with GQ, returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies touched on diversity in a manner which while true we suspected might be unwise given the broader sci-fi landscape.

By itself possibly not worth commenting on except that this morning we saw numerous sites reporting Davies expressing a very different and also uncharacteristic view about diversity - "lambasting" it.

DC Drops Doom and Titans

DC's Doom Patrol and Titans series have been cancelled with HBO promising that their currently on hiatus (in the US) fourth seasons were written to provide "proper" endings.

The news wouldn't be super surprising to anyone. Four seasons is a solid run for a superhero show and new bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran had heralded intentions to unify the DC universe.

The Ark - First Five

Syfy have released the first five minutes of upcoming space ship disaster survival series The Ark. Their trailer struck us as disappointingly B-grade with a possible hint of tween drama.

This first five minutes doesn't involve any substantial character interactions so we're still in the dark on that one.
