Is Dex The Sex? Jason Momoa talks Stargate Atlantis
Jason Momoa, as Ronon Dex on Stargate: Atlantis, is a man of few words. Very few words. His bemuscled charm brought a brute strength to the series that has since seen him gone on to tackle Conan: The Barbarian. With Season 4 of Stargate Atlantis hotting up with the upcoming 'Midway', which features the awesome team up of Ronon Dex with SG-1's Teal'c, we thought it only fit and proper to post an interview with the man behind the muscles. He's a man full of surprises, including a heartfelt...

Joss Whedon Says Serenity Was Firefly Season 2
Earlier today we sat in the southernmost sail of the Sydney Opera House and had a quick chat with Mr Joss Whedon. Australian fans, he says "hi". In a brief video interview (to be aired on SCI FI) Joss discussed the finer points of Buffy, Angel and Firefly. We did also ask him about The Avengers. At the moment, with his trip to Australia and being caught up between a bout of insomnia and jetlag, he's using hotel rooms and aeroplanes as the perfect writing platform. We asked him about whether...
