For some reason, the news today has made my little movie-and-comic-book-nerd heart grow three sizes.
While we still aren't sure about the title of the Syfy superhero drama Three Inches, Syfy has found a way to make everyone stop thinking about that -- they've cast James Marsters as the leader of a band of superheroes. Spike/Brainiac has his own superhero TV show? Spontaneous nerd combustion.
Jamie Lynn Sigler has turned over a new leaf, it seems, as the onetime Sopranos star will now play a cop on a Lifetime drama. Don't tell Gandolfini -- it'll break his heart.
G4 has greenlit a reality show about bomb disposal technicians in Afghanistan inspired by The Hurt Locker. They wanted to do a reality show based on Precious, but it was deemed too dangerous. (Our ideas for Best Picture reality shows.)
Sorry, Conan -- your name is TM'd and copyrighted by a bunch of European dudes who like shows about gladiators. The Conan the Barbarian people will not let you call your new show Conan, due to rights issues. Luckily, your last name is untrademarkable -- imagine the trouble you'd be in if it was "Batman."
Never fear, Modern Family fans -- there is a gay kiss coming, and it was coming before you even said anything about it, so nyah.
Lastly, AMC's Comic-Con trailer for their upcoming zombie show The Walking Dead is official and it's awesome.

I'm trying to figure out if there's any way I can give less of a shit about zombies, but no luck so far. Whenever someone tells me they love zombies, I want to punch them in the face. It's right at the top of the "Stupid things people gush about" list, just narrowly edging out bacon.
But the thing about The Walking Dead is that it isn't about zombies - yes, they're there. But it's more about how people survive and struggle to continue to live their lives. That's what makes it different than other zombie things.
