This week on TV , ummm … well , maybe we should all Netflix the same things and then discuss them as if they were newly televised . No , hold off . really , it ’s not that sorry . Among the things that may keep you from kill your TV this week : Batman meets his inspiration , Doctor Who follows Steven Moffat into a weird dreamworld , Speed Racer ’s kid get immobilize on a practical raceway … and we learn the terrible truth of the Supergator — is he a civil wrong attorney who got bitten by a radioactive Writ of Mandamus and got awesome litigation powers as a result ? You ’ll never line up out unless you snap through .
Because one someone demanded it , I ’m going back to the “ days of the hebdomad ” format for now . I reserve the right to experiment with it again at some gunpoint . And since it ’s the summertime doldrums , I may occasionally have Wednesday ’s ingress just be a LOLcat or something .
Monday
Pretty much the only young affair on video this week — aside from shows that previously aired oversea — is the second installment of The Middleman , ABC Family ’s show about a square - edge , Milk River - drinking superhero who battles the forces of suckitude . And tonight ’s episode ( at 8) features the Terracotta warrior rampage you ’ve heard so much about . And in case you missed the first installment ( You take in ! ) they ’re showing it again at 7 premier . Here ’s a glistening clip !
Also tonight at 8 , the Disney Channel is showing Minutemen , the original TV movie about a chemical group of kids who develop a time machine and expend it to go back and deliver other kids from social disasters . Over fourth dimension , they realize that they ’ve upset the raw order of the cosmea , because the now - disaster - devoid nerds are getting too crowing for their own britches . Oh , and there ’s a whole in the space - time continuum , yadda yadda . I watched this movie last time it was on , and it ’s just as speechless as it sounds , but sorta cute in a distressful manner . Here ’s a laggard :
properly now , as you read this , the Sci Fi Channel is having a daytime battle of Marathon of Threshold , the short - live foreign - intrusion show from Star Trek ’s Brannon Braga and star Brent “ Data ” Spiner . ( It ’s also produced by Batman Begins scribe David S. Goyer . )
And tonight at 1 AM , TBS is showing Eight - Legged Freaks , the actually quite decent plastic film about spiders terrorizing a small town .
Tuesday
Tonight at 10 , the History Channel has the most thrilling - sound episode of Mega tragedy ever , predict “ Glow Train Catastrophe . ” say me you would n’t go see a band with that name , without even cognize what character of euphony it play . Here ’s the synopsis :
The U.S. Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission architectural plan to transport 77,000 dozens of atomic waste matter to a lasting storage facility 950 foundation below Nevada ’s Yucca Mountain . If the plan drop dead through , much of the cargo will travel through Las Vegas , making an accident there a very worrisome possible action . If chronicle has taught us anything , it ’s that transporting serious goods can sometimes have ruinous results . Take a look at the potential disaster that such a rail stroke would have in Las Vegas .
If Vegas was full of radioactive sport , would anybody comment ?
Sci Fi is continuing its testimonial to delete - too - soon shows by indicate a short ton of sequence of John Doe , the Fox show about an amnesiac bozo who knows the substance sum of all human knowledge .

Tonight is possibly the last time the Sci Fi Channel will show South African / Canadian property - hopping show Charlie Jade at a reasonable time of day , at 8 PM . We learn more about 01 Boxer , the only person who can leap dimensions without any help , and his mysterious cabal . I have to hold one distressing thing about these long - canceled foreign programs appear on Sci Fi ( like Odyssey 5 last yr ) is that you know in advance how many sequence there will be . At least in the shell of Jade , apparently , the season terminate with a pretty satisfying resolution , although some questions are left dangling .
And then at 9 , there ’s another foreign import , but one which shows no signs of going away — Doctor Who has the second part of its Steven Moffat haunted - library account . After a very cohesive first part , the level sort of scatter in many directions for part two , with Donna ’s storyline scarce intersect with anyone else ’s . Here’smy writeup of the episode — many , if not most , people seemed to like it a set in effect than I did . Here ’s a big chunk of the episode to get you warmed up :

Supergator air at 7 on the Sci Fi Channel . Sorry , I sort of misled you : it has nothing to do with torts or incarnate litigation of any kind .
