SCI FI Channel announced their summer line-up this morning.
Eureka and Stargate Atlantis will form the backbone of the network's summer evening scripted originals beginning July 29 and July 11, respectively.
Season three of Eureka, about a community of geniuses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research, premieres Tuesday, July 29 @ 9p.
Over the course of 13 years, Pastor Carroll Pickett, the death house chaplain in the infamous "Walls" prison unit in Huntsville, Texas, presided over 95 executions, including the world's first lethal injection.
Tomorrow (Thursday) night at 9pm IFC premieres their exceptional original documentary At The Death House Door. The film tracks Carroll Pickett's slow motion, 35-year journey from death penalty supporter to humble activist campaigning to end what he feels is a barbaric practice. (IFC Trailer, below)

The following Hillary Clinton news started flying across the Internet last night. More stunning revelations about her RFK assassination remarks have re-surfaced.
So far, as of 2:30 PT today, some cable news networks are skating over the history surrounding this story. (ETA: MSNBC's Olbermann may have covered it in his rant last night but...sometimes Olbermann is so over-the-top I can't get past the heat.)
Yesterday, Clinton made a shockingly inappropriate remark to the Sioux City, South Dakota Argus Leader editorial board. Defending her decision to stay in the race, she invoked the June 1968 RFK assassination. Clinton then issued a wishy-washy apology to the Kennedys but she did not apologize to Obama for stoking everyone's worst fear - the assassination of the presumed first African-American presidential nominee.
However, Time Magazine reveals that Clinton also alluded to the RFK tragedy last March. It appears that Clinton's bizarre comments may actually be a scripted response to questions about her intention to stay in the race through June.

Weddings are always a sure fire way to lasso audiences during sweeps. Hollywood can now add perfectly legal gay California weddings (or should I say LGBT weddings) to their script checklist, along with tried and true ferry explosions and character deaths.
A few hours ago, the California Supreme Court struck down the ban on gay marriage and yes, there's dancing in the street here in San Francisco.
Other winning television marriages could include Luke and Noah, the young, angsty gay couple who have captured audience imagination on the daytime soap, As The World Turns.
ABC Network already took the big plunge anyway, last Sunday. During the season finale of ABC’s Brothers & Sisters gay characters Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) and Scotty Wandell (Luke Macfarlane) tied the knot. The ceremony was the first of its kind between series regular characters on U.S. broadcast network television.

Tonight (Wednesday) at 9p (with an encore at 11p), HDNet unveils another exclusive “sneak preview” of a film in advance of the theatrical release. HDNet's Surfwise tracks the 50-year journey of surfing’s legendary Paskowitz family, led by their uncompromising, flawed father, Dorian.
In 1956, after years of insomnia and two failed marriages, Stanford graduate and physician Dorian “Doc” Paskowitz walked away from it all and embarked on an odyssey of self-discovery through surfing.
With his wife Juliette and their nine children stuffed into a 24-foot RV, Doc hunted waves on the beaches of Southern California, Hawaii, and Mexico and surfed relentlessly.
