Hey guys. F.Y.I. I’m off for a much needed vacation for the rest of the week, and I will be back next Wednesday with the next post. So, if you come to the site on, and find the same old post, you’ll know why.
Red Dwarf:
Uber geeks like me will be happy to know that another hour of the Red Dwarf is on the way. That is according to Kryton himself, Robert Llwellyn who was recently interviewed at my hometown of Seattle. According to him, the BBC is going to shoot a one hour special in October. Set phasers to excited.
Lost:
Aint it cool reports that Michele Rodriguez is set to re appear on the show as Ana Lucia. Being dead would usually stop a character from re-appearing on a show, but we all know that things like death don't apply when in comes to Lost.

Fantasy Adventure. Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
