Do n’t panic ! Yes , there ’s no raw Battlestar Galactica , Lost , Doctor Who or Spectacular Spider - Man this hebdomad . ( And UK TV audience are without new Who as well . ) But we ’ll get through this somehow . I promise . There are some scientific discipline documentaries , some nerveless flick — include a super - unearthly thriller about a computing machine programmer who gets ensnared in a freaky confederacy involving empty software program , a robot head , and a virtual reality sex game . telecasting has n’t abandoned you yet .
Tonight
The History Channel is re - running a especial call in Star Wars Tech at 8 PM .
Take a flavour at the engineering shown throughout the six Star Wars film and examine their viability through the eyes of cold hard science . Could a Death Star really be built ? Can you build an army of clones ? What is 3 - five hundred imaging , and where can you get a Light Saber ? move around to a galaxy far , far off to answer all of these question and more .
Tuesday
There ’s a fresh Nova on PBS : “ Lord Of The Ants . ” Which makes me intend of Michael Flatley and a bunch of emmet in spangly cover choke off really cursorily to some Gaelic tribe - rock . But it ’s in reality about the Mofu people of Cameroon , and their “ unlikely alliance ” with jumbo killer ants . Plus biologist E.O. Wilson ’s theories about emmet . chink your local itemization for time .
If you ’re ditching work , you have to take between two movies , both
airing at 10 AM : Not Of This Earth on Sci Fi and Starship Troopers on TBS . What will you do ? You may have to go to the office just to avoid the dilemma .
Also , Harrison Ford is on Letterman utter up the new Indiana Jones movie . Hopefully he ’ll look a little less embarrassed than he did on Good Morning America last Friday . Lost ’s Matthew Fox is also on Jimmy Kimmel Live , where he will probably try not to peach about Speed Racer .
Wednesday
PBS has a two - hour special call Depression : Out Of The Shadows , which I ’m expecting to dig into some pretty science fabricated themes , including the widespread use of mentality - altering drugs by the population . Plus encephalon scans , and maybe electro - shock therapy . But yes , it will be somewhat depressing and feature wailing music . Here ’s a trailer :
If you ’re that rare person who A ) give care about Lost and B ) has n’t been keeping up with Lost , ABC is showing two recent episodes at 8 : “ Something Nice Back Home ” and “ Cabin Fever . ” And ABC Family is showing the 1998 U.S. variation of Godzilla at 7 PM . It ’s got Matthew Broderick — how bad can it be ?
And Harrison Ford continues his talk - show sweep , hitting Conan O’Brien .
Thursday
The History Channel has another young Mega Disasters , “ Volcanic Winter , ” at 9 phase modulation . Here ’s the damage :
The big volcanic eruption of the past two million age occurred on the Indonesian island of Sumatra , 75,000 years ago . The impact from the top-notch volcano Toba decimated the local habitat , but gas , ash and debris from Toba made their way around the satellite and formed a shield in the atm that deflected the sun ’s thaw rays . Temperatures plump and the planet was thrown into a volcanic winter and may have even campaign the planet into an ice years . 3 - five hundred computer animation will recreate the tempest and unveil how this one vent could have brought humanity to the edge of extinction .
Also , the CW has a Smallville rerun , “ Bizarro , ” at 8 phase modulation .
AMC is show up science fiction movies pretty much all 24-hour interval , with Beneath The Planet Of The ape at 9:15 , The Lost World ( the 1960 moving-picture show about dinosaur and hot - pink dresses ) at 11:15 , The matter at 1:15 , The solar day The Earth Stood Still at 3:30 , Planet of the Apes at 5:30 and Jurassic Park at 8 .
At 7:15 , TCM has a documentary , Spielberg On Spielberg , followed by Close Encounters of the Third Kind at 9 . And at 10 AM , TBS has Batman and Robin — which I consider you guys voted the worst science fable movie continuation of all time .
venture who ’s on Regis And Kelly ? Harrison Ford ! Somebody is really nervous about whether hoi polloi will come out to see Indiana Jones .
Friday
Why is the Sci Fi Channel taking a week off from its unstoppable Friday night block ? I do n’t know , but they are . alternatively , they ’re shew their usual diet of crappy motion-picture show : Meltdown : daylight Of Destruction , Solar Attack , Scorcher , Fire Serpent … Aaaaa !
But dread not . IFC is showing the award - winning Icelandic cinema Paranoia 1.0 , otherwise known as One Point Oh , starring Jeremy Sisto , Deborah Kara Unger and Lance Henriksen . A untried computer programmer named Simonstarts receiving weird empty packagesin his apartment . He investigates , and discovers that stuff going on in his edifice include an artificially healthy golem head discover Adam , a virtual reality sexuality game , and an malevolent society that may be conspiring against him . Simon ’s grasp on world get more and more tenuous , and his craving for fresh milk increases . Creepy ! That ’s at 9 phase modulation .
Harrison Ford is on The View , and this meter he ’s got Karen Allen ( Marion Ravenwood ) with him . That could actually be sort of interesting . And Battlestar Galactica ’s Tricia Helfer is on The Late Show With Craig Ferguson .
At 12:20 Saturday morning , Cinemax has a movie with the challenging title of Super Ninja Bikini Babes . You pretty much know , after reading that title of respect , whether this is your character of motion picture . Apparently a coed discovers an alternate universe . A universe … of bikinis .
Saturday
Both Spectacular Spider - Man episodes on The CW starting at 9:30 are rerun . Sorry . And so is this week ’s Ben 10 : Alien Force on the Cartoon web .
But at least there ’s a new transformer : Animated : “ Rise Of The Constructicons . ” Finally , we ’re get somewhere . A couple of construction vehicles get brought to life by the Allspark . Bulkhead make friends with them , but the Decepticons want them to help with a new construction project . ( It ’s a terrace , I look . ) That ’s at 10:30 on the Cartoon internet . Also young ( to Americans ) is an episode of French cartoon Robotboy at 11:30 on Cartoon .

At least next hebdomad , there ’ll be stuff again . lose will have its two - hour season coda , and Battlestar Galactica will be back . And A&E will be showing its four - hour Andromeda Strain miniseries on Monday and Tuesday nights at 9 . Hang in there .
