In geek genre TV, news about Battlestar Peacock continues to leak out. Executive producer Sam Esmail announced that the first season won't just be a "ten hour movie".

A new series focused on the Captain Pike era Enterprise is coming to CBS All Access. Anson Mount, Ethan Peck and Rebecca Romijn have signed on to reprise their roles in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. CBS has a wonderful opportunity, will they screw it up?
