What's SCI FI's favorite planet? Caprica? Mongo? Nope. We're casting our vote for the big blue marble, the third rock from the sun, the Galactica's fabled 13th colony of Kobol - or, as you Terrans like to call it, Earth.
For the week of November 5-11, we'll bring you our best "green" films and shows, such as special episodes of Flash Gordon and Eureka. Our Nature Unleashed movies will give you on a front-row seat to the ways that our dangerously changing planet likes to get even with us: fires, avalanches, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tornadoes. (Tidal waves can't be far behind, we figure.) The week will wrap up with a marathon of environmental cautionary tales, including Man-Thing, Solar Attack and Meltdown.
Why are we showing you visions of a messed-up planet? To wake you up and spur you into action. We'll be posting all week about the ways our world could get screwed up and what we can do to stop it. SCI FI Weekly will look at movies that might be our future if we don't wise up - from The Horror of Party Beach to Zardoz - and the animals that could take revenge when we're weak and on the ropes. (You might think twice about breaking out the Raid™ the next time you see an ant in your kitchen. Bugs hold grudges.)
Our tech blog, DVice, will look for solutions to our world's myriad problems - from alternative fuels and carbon-footprint reduction methods to energy scavengers, giant microwaves and corn starch. That's right, corn starch.
