[Kinja.com] Kinja's tv mix - Kinja, the weblog guide: The show's been a nice balance of science fiction plot and character development. ... An Unofficial Blog dedicated to TiVo News, Information & Commentary. ...
[Tvsquad.com] HBO to launch a science fiction series in Ancient Rome?! - TV Squad: The one reason I see this as a possibility is that perhaps HBO wants to take advantage of the already established sets for 'Rome' at the Cinecitta Studios.

All these will be wrapped up in a browser-neutral (although I wouldn't be surprised for Google to cozy up to Mozilla to enhance Firefox with some special goodies), Java-based interface.
[Blog Maverick] The Coming Golden Age of Television: Today it might look really bulky - example, having a small DVD store where the arcade usually is in a movie theater that lets you put in your order for the film you just loved and mails it to you when it comes in (allows for impulse buying).
