The oracle speaks:
We hereby predict that your Friday nights this fall will include:

• a foulmouthed violet alien
• a shiny gold robot with a prissy accent
• a babe that makes Seven of Nine look about as sexy as an engine block (okay, a well-lubricated engine block).
  

We're talking about Tripping the Rift, the new animated series coming this fall from the SciFi channel. These guys go beyond skewering science fiction archetypes and cliches. They impale them, draw and quarter them, and then dance exhuberantly among the entrails.

The Tripping The Rift preview is now available for download, and ranks right up there among the funniest shit we've seen in the past five years. Download it now. Uh... "Make it so." Or something.

(Warning: includes gratuitous violence to stormtroopers, crude sexual byplay, and evil clowns with lightsabers. May not be suitable for children younger than 12, or George Lucas)
