Don’t have enough space? Well that’s NO PROBLEM! We respectfully suggest that you simply delete all of last seasons saves, buy the DVD’s or Blu-Rays for goodness sakes and clean up those D VR hard disk drives so you can fill them up all over again in the coming weeks ahead!
For those of you not going to Dragon*Con, are you bummed out? Cannot wait for those “Live From the Convention” reports from WormholeRiders News Agency? How will you survive in the meantime? No worries people, this weekend SyFy will delight you with a Stephen King Movie Marathon with The Stand, The Langoliers, and The Tommy Knockers, each one a classic based upon the works of the famous author and loaded with star s like Gary Sinise (The Green Mile, CSI, Mission to Mars), Corin Nemec (Stargate SG-1, Supernatural), Molly Ringwald (16 Candles, Secret Life of an American Teenager), Rob Lowe (The West Wing, Family Guy), Laura San Giacomo (Saving Grace, Veronica Mars), Patricia Wettig (City Slickers, Prison Break, Brothers and Sisters), Dean Stockwell (Quantum Leap, Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica), Jimmy Smits (L.A.

Marshall (Tora Tora Tora, War and Remembrance, Superman II,12 Angry Men)! Not to be accused of not being ready for the fall
Not to be outdone, good ole’ SyFy is turning up the volume by starting off a month of cool programming beginning with the return of Destination Truth on September 09, 2010. Yep, that’s just in time for the WHR Dragon*Con Team to complete their initial reports, get a couple of hours of much needed sleep and then crank up their high definition monitors to learn the truth about what the heck is “out there”!
For goodness sakes what more could anyone ask for? Well science fiction reality television fans we will tell you! Thanks to Joshua Gates of Destination Truth, Comic-Con International, SyFy and our reporter on the scene SciFiFanGirl616 we are pleased to bring you Mr. Gates Red Carpet interview about season four of Destination Truth!
And that is not all people! As I said, hold on to your hats! SyFy has been busy working to create MANDRAKE which will premiere on September 11, 2010! Sure to to soothe any concerns about that fateful day, MANDRAKE will certainly fill the bill! Oh and let’s not forget SyFy has been involved in a massive science fiction conspiracy! Conspiracy? Well yes indeed! As Jack O’Niell of Stargate SG-1 would say “Yeah Sure You Betcha“! WHR have been able to confirm beyond any shadow of a doubt that the SyFy Teams in both New York and Burbank have been in league non other than the likes of Roger Corman, KING of the Science Fiction horror genre!
Yes its all true my friends. Roger and SyFy intend to unleash SHARKTOPUS on the world as you know it. You heard correctly science fiction addicts, not only will you get MANDRAKE and SHARKTOPUS to wet your SciFi whistles, we will then surely be all warmed and ready up for the return of Stargate Universe on September 28, 2010! And OMG, lets not forget that you can DVR and save the classic SHARKTOPUS and MANDRAKE FOREVER so you view them over and over again!
Well that’s about all you need to know for now my friends! All we can say is that if this news does not get you excited, we suggest you check into a local institution for some much needed therapy AFTER you download these to you iPhone or DROID-X for private viewing in your little padded white room! Know this: Adria The Cat will be viewing and demanding I replay these features for her again and again until the premiere of SGU on September 28, 2010 when she will snatch the DVR remote controls from my grubby little paws… errrr hands!
Although while we will undoubtedly be satiated by these fantastic offerings. have no fear, we will watch the Stargate franchise from MGM Studios Stargate Universe continue aboard Destiny and her fabulous ensemble cast over and over again to set the next worlds record! For now we sincerely appreciate your visiting WHR! Feel free to leave a spam free comment and we will post it and respond as soon as we recover from the next few sleepless weeks of marathon science fiction viewing and convention reporting!
