So here we are again. By now you know that RDJ will be Doctor Doom in the next Avengers epic, “Avengers: Doomsday” and just last week we got the first of four of their Official Teasers. You can click HERE to see that one if you missed it for some reason and now its onto the second of them which finds the Mighty Thor being featured. It’s embedded below with a lengthier casting and the premise that has been cited thusfar. There is a poster to share with you now but it doesn’t show all that much and yet is still nice to have something else to add to the post. So without any further yadda yadda, Official Teaser #2 for “Avengers: Doomsday”.

If you’re not yet up to speed let’s refresh a bit. Back during the SDCC (or San Diego Comic-Con), actor Robert Downey Jr. was revealed to be portraying the villainous Doctor Doom for the upcoming film “Avengers: Doomsday”. This was a shift in production plans after they opted to move on from using Kang The Conqueror. Then we got a lengthy partial cast reveal, seen HERE and now at long last comes the first of four teaser trailer. I’ve embedded this down below along with a lengthier casting and the premise. I have not found any promotional art for this one yet. Have at it.

“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone.”.

Greetings Friends of PiercingMetal and welcome back to a special offering that even I had not anticipated doing. As you know, at the close of each of the Creative Calendar years, I tend to wrap up PiercingMetal stuff with a rundown of “The Twilight Zone” marathon that airs on the Syfy Network. This is a lengthy missive based on all of the episodes that get broadcast and to make it all easier on me, I’ve been getting some of the legwork done well in advance. This time around I noticed that the Syfy Network was also offering up a marathon of episodes for the Christmas Day holiday and the day after which will be Boxing Day depending on where you call home. With this being the case I knew I had to share this rundown with you as well. Now, the newbies might not know that the show premiered in 1959 and ran for five seasons with a total of 156 episodes and all of them seem to have withstood the tests of time. Since I will also be running the longer New Year’s Eve/New Year’s Day marathon I will cut the yammering short for this one and get right into it. Here now is the episode rundown for “The Twilight Zone” Christmas Marathon.

It was a few months ago that we first discussed the topic of the latest installment in the Star Trek universe of programs with “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” and if you missed that post you can click HERE to rectify the issue. While still a few months out from the premiere on the Paramount+ streaming service, they’ve dropped the Official Trailer which you can see down below. I’ve also added the basic premise, casting and some new art for you to enjoy. Now as Captain Kirk used to say “on screen”…

The Premise: The series is set in the 32nd century, the far-future of the Star Trek franchise where Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets are recovering from a cataclysmic event, as depicted in Star Trek: Discovery. Starfleet Academy follows the first new class of Starfleet cadets in over a century as they come of age and train to be officers. They are taught aboard the USS Athena, a starship that docks at the Starfleet Academy campus in San Francisco but can also be deployed with the rest of the fleet. (c/o Wiki)

Hello there my friends and fellow Science Fiction geeks. I’m here with a bit of a last minute surprise that I learned about while scanning the guide on the cable box. So it looks like the fine folks over at the Syfy Channel are offering up another marathon of episodes from the classic television series “The Twilight Zone”. As soon as I learned about this, I culled together the necessary rundown of these Rod Serling classics and wanted to deliver them to with time enough for you to program your DVR or however else you keep programs for later viewing. As you might already know, the Syfy Channel does a marathon of “The Twilight Zone” on the last day or so of the year and straight through into it. The number of episodes varies from year to year as do the days that the marathon runs on but we’re talking about the one this weekend at the moment. For me, the show has withstood the tests of time and still ranks very highly among fandom. It’s not hard to see why after you indulge in a dozen of them because they are so interesting and often throw a curve ball at you that you never saw coming. According to the rundown there are approximately “45” episodes being broadcast and you’ll likely need a couple of pots of strong coffee if you want to start watching them when it begins at 8AM tomorrow. Down below you’ll find the complete rundown which was culled from the Syfy Channel website. You would be advised to compare these times against your own local television provider to make sure that there are no discrepancies. Please don’t post a comment giving me crap about incorrect times. I do not work for the network and am only sharing along what they posted. Now without any further adieu, “The Twilight Zone” Marathon for Fall 2025.
