This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine earned its position as a favorite series among fans because of its more complex take on the franchise’s themes, thrusting the United Federation of Planets into a huge war that tested its moral compass time and again. But even at the height of the Dominion War, DS9 also found time to follow Jake and Nog’s search for a baseball card and to check in on a holographic Rat Pack lounge singer.
But even within that wide range of possibilities, the season three episode “Facets” stands out as an oddball. Written by René Echevarria and directed by Cliff Bole, “Facets” introduced the Zhian’tara ritual, through which Trill hosts find closure for their symbiotes by spreading host personalities to others.
Although “Facets” isn’t exactly a “Sub Rosa” level embarrassment, it is a weird episode that mostly...

1999, Y2K was pending, some folks were freaking out about it while most teens couldn’t be bothered. Things that stressed our parents didn’t worry us one bit and things we stressed about they found silly. Escape was found, as before and as still is, in horror movies. That year saw a few big releases, some great fun ones like eXistenZ, Deep Blue Sea, and Lake Placid, some that were meant to be great like Virus, The Haunting and The Astronaut’s Wife, and a whole lot of middle of the road titles like The Bone Collector, Resurrection, and From Dusk Till Dawn 2. The world was covered in the ooey, gooey goodness of horror and its special effects.

Exclusive: Netflix has opted not to order a third season of Warrior Nun. The decision was made a month after the Nov. 10 release of the fantasy drama’s second season.
Warrior Nun‘s second season ratings performance follows the pattern of other scripted series which have been canceled by Netflix as the streamer evaluates viewing vs. cost for their renewal decisions. Season 2 spent just three weeks in Netflix’s Weekly Top 10 for English-language series, peaking at #5. Warrior Nun has built a small yet passionate fan base, which helped it secure a second season renewal but was not enough to sustain the series in the long run.

Scream Factory recently announced that they’re putting out a new Blu-ray of cult 1990s horror comedy Idle Hands.

It’s a good thing they held the event at a pier, as there is a boatload of information included in the summary press release below. We made sure to get it posted before the weekend, since it will take you the entire weekend to absorb it all.
Some of it is information we’ve already posted, like the Ringworld and Childhood’s End development and the High Moon pilot production, some of it we posted about fairly recently, like Ronald D.

Chew, the Eisner Award-winning American comic book series written by John Layman with art by Rob Guillory, tells of a future where poultry is illegal and Tony Chu, an Agent of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, uses the psychic impressions he gets by eating things (including people) to track down criminals. In March 2011, a Chew script written by Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer was purchased by Showtime to occupy a 30-minute slot. It was later changed upped to one hour.

Alphas Review, Season 2, Episode 11, “If Memory Serves”
Written by Terri Hughes Burton & Ron Milbauer
Directed by Allen Kroeker
Airs Mondays at 8pm (Et) on SyFy
Ever since its premiere, Alphas has hinted at a darker side of Rosen that isn’t just concerned with helping Alphas. A serious anger lurks beneath his calm demeanor that’s been moving closer to the surface with each move by Stanton Parish. To fight such a dangerous foe, Rosen has set aside his ethical qualms and crossed into very murky territory. Parish’s murder of his daughter Dani was just the last straw that has brought out the worst in Rosen. Something snapped inside that makes him a scary individual. He promises trouble without raising his voice and is ready to strike against anyone who challenges him. A lesser show would soften the edges and make sure it’s clear that Rosen is bluffing.

It’s clear that a show is working if even the lesser episodes are compelling. After last week’s stunning look at Nina’s tormented past, there was almost certainly going to be drop-off for Alphas this time. Thankfully, it’s just a small misstep and retains the emotional strength that drove that story. Nina is back on the team, but she’s an outsider who’s only working with Rosen. It’s amazing that he’s willing to put her right back in the field this quickly. Her fellow team members want nothing to do with Nina, and this resistance makes for more compelling drama. Unlike less sophisticated genre fare, there’s no reset button where all sins are forgiven. Rachel can’t even stand...

Directed by Colin Ferguson
Airs Mondays at 9pm Et on SyFy
“In Too Deep” breaks the trend of weaker episodes over the last couple of weeks by providing a well-written episode full of comedy, drama, excitement and major events for multiple characters. Interestingly, the last quality episode (“Jack of All Trades”) was directed by series star Colin Ferguson (Sheriff Carter) who also directs “In Too Deep.”
Carter surprises Allison with a well-planned lunch in an underwater lab. Carter tries to provide a relaxing time, but tension rises as Allison becomes increasingly frustrated with him. The writers do an incredible job of not only building what looks to be engagement-ending tension but they also create a series of potentially catastrophic events within the lab that matches the course of the couple’s relationship issues.

Airs Mondays at 9pm Et on SyFy
The three-part arc that has found the Astraeus crew trapped in a virtual world comes to a predictable conclusion this week as the crew is rescued. Though the impending results are obvious, “Force Quit” is still an exciting episode that moves at a rigorous pace.
Beverly comes to Eureka to help Carter, Henry, and Lupo find the captives. Carter taps into the Matrix where he must cause a system overload that would help Henry and Lupo trace the signal and find the crew. Inside the Matrix, Carter convinces Zane, Allison, Grace, and Fargo that he is the real Carter and they are trapped in a virtual world. They work together to blow up the virtual Astraeus, causing a spike in the Matrix that crashes the system.

Showtime has picked up a script for a half-hour cop show based on a comic book series titled Chew.
The comic book series follows a Federal agent named Tony Chu that can get psychic images from the things that he eats. He gets assigned to the most bizarre crimes and he has to eat his way through the investigation. The comic, created by John Layman and Rob Guillory and published by Image Comics, is darkly funny and completely unique compared to the horde of tights and fights books on store shelves. Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer (Eureka) wrote the Chew script that will now be further revised by Showtime for their network.
A story like Chew is perfect for a cable network, at a minimum AMC, and at best HBO or Showtime, so it’s exciting that the network that gave us Dexter will develop the project [...]...

Never having read nor heard about John Layman's comic book series Chew (art by Rob Guillory) before, I was curious about the news that Showtime is adapting it as a dark comedy, a la "Dexter." Now I wish I'd known about it sooner and I'm hoping this thing gets aired, because it sounds right up my alley.
Chew is an award winning comic series, set in a time after an outbreak of bird flu killed millions of people. Eating any fowl is now illegal. Protagonist Tony Chu, a cop, is trying to track down suspected black marketers when he eats a bowl of chicken soup at a questionable restaurant; something very strange happens. Tony experiences a vision of the restaurant's chef, killing people and adding them to the soup. The detective chases down the chef, who immediately kills himself.

Further good news from the comic book adaptation world today, as Deadline have exclusively revealed that Showtime has bought a script for John Layman and Rob Guillory’s excellent Chew, which will be developed as a half-hour long TV series.
The script, acquired from Circle of Confusion (The Walking Dead & Powers), was written by Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer (Eureka) and now faces the Showtime treatment, and is set to come to screen under director Stephen Hopkins.
Great acquisition, but you have to wonder how well the show will translate, when its success in paper has a lot to do with the brilliant artwork, and a pretty bat-shit crazy premise that might unfortunately find itself necessarily toned down for TV. Still, exciting developments! Read on for my dream castings…

Hot off the success of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead and the news of Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Oeming’s Powers being developed for FX, Showtime is looking at John Layman and Rob Guillory’s Chew to be the next big comic book to make the leap to television. Chew won the Eisner Award for Best New Series in 2010 and is about Tony Chu, an Fda Agent who is also a cibopath, which is someone who gets psychic impressions by eating anything––including people. Chu uses his unique abilities to solve homicides and works for the Philadelphia Police Department. The world in which Chu lives in has been altered drastically by a major outbreak of the bird flu that wiped out 23 million Americans. Since then, all chicken and other aves-based meats have been outlawed.

It appears the recent comic book craze is successfully expanding from the big screen to the small screen. First, The Walking Dead popped up on AMC, proving it can be done. Then, Powers was scooped up by FX and Locke & Key found a home at Fox. Now, in the culmination of comic books' nefarious plan to conquer all visual media, John Layman and Rob Guillory's Chew has been bought by Showtime — an actual legit pay-cable channel!
Chew centers on Tony Chu, a police detective who solves weird crimes through psychic impressions obtained by eating. Examples: Chu can eat soup and discover the cook killed people. And, he can also eat the cook and discover who the cook killed. Yes, cannibalistic crime fighting! A perfect quirky comedic vehicle for Showtime. Top this, HBO.

Showtime has had a big appetite for new projects these days — and it looks like they're biting off a piece of the hit comic series "Chew" by Jonathan Layman and Rob Guillory.
According to Deadline Hollywood, Showtime bought the script as a half-hour cop show with Stephen Hopkins ("Californication", "Predator 2") attached to both direct and executive produce the project.
The comic series "Chew" centers around a police detective named Tony Chu with the unorthodox ability to receive psychic impressions from whatever he eats. Odd as it may be, through the years-long series it's borne out to be a valuable skill as Chu works for the police and a militarized F.D.A.
The script was written by two writers out of SyFy's "Eureka," Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbauer, and Showtime plans to tweak it somewhat before shooting.
Back in September, MTV Splash Page speculated about a potential cast for a "Chew" series,...

Hey gang! Showtime is going to be developing a new twisted cop comedy TV series based on the Eisner Award-winning John Layman and Rob Guillory bestselling comic book Chew. The comic was published by Image Comics, and tells the story about an Fda Agent who solves crimes by getting psychic impressions by eating things, including people. This concept is hilarious!
Stephen Hopkins (The Ghost in the Darkness) will direct and be an executive producer on the the half hour show. The script Showtime acquired was written by Terri Hughes Burton and Ron Milbaur (Eureka).
Here's a more detailed rundown of the story:
Tony Chu is a cop with a secret. A weird secret. Tony Chu is Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. It also means he's a hell of a detective, as long as he doesn't mind nibbling on the corpse of a murder victim to figure out whodunit,...

Let's face it; as much as we love "Dexter", the series is just not as sharp as it once was. Blame John Lithgow for a season that could never be topped in terms of quality and intensity. That being said, Showtime has another genre series on the horizon for us.

Stephen Hopkins (The Reaping, Judgement Night, A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child, Predator 2) is attached to direct and executive produce the project, which hails from Circle of Confusion, the company behind AMC’s hit series adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s "The Walking Dead."

It's a good time to be a comics fan, particularly for Image.
AMC's The Walking Dead and FX's Powers will soon have some company, as Deadline reports that Showtime has chosen Image Comics' Chew as the latest paperback series to recieve the live-action treatment.
Chew, written by John Layman and Rob Guilliory focuses on the darkly comic exploits of federal agent Tony Chu, a so-called "cibopath" who recieves psychic impressions from the food he eats, including the occasional human being. Considering chicken was outlawed because of an avian flu in Chew's world, it's less of a depraved act than it would seem.
The project's script, written by Terri Hughes Burton and Rob Milbauer with Stephen Hopkins attached to direct, will first come under the "tweaking" of Showtime's guidance before reaching a pilot, which could shy away from the cannibalistic traits of the series.
The adaptation comes from production company Circle of Confusion,...
