Someone's taking children's scribbling and gussying them up with some kind of magical computure special effects. It think it's pretty nifty. However, I'm having tech woes and can't seem to publish more than one image in a post, so enjoy the gallery here. Stupid tech trouble.

The fanatics at TheTVAddict.com have gotten their hands on a script for Caprica, the prequel spin-off of the Sci-Fi Channel's awesome Battlestar Galactica.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon has just released this teaser poster for his upcoming internet musical, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

It stars Neil "Doogie" Patrick "Howser" Harris, as Dr. Horrible, Serenity's Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, and insanely cute Buffy alum Felicia Day as Penny. [OhNoTheyDidnt]
