If you like science fiction, and Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Stargate, and other shows aren't enough, get ready for Beyond.

According to Aint It Cool News, FOX has ordered 13 episodes of the series. It's about a big meteor coming to Earth, carrying a deadly virus, and the efforts to stop it. Jeez, as if a meteor wasn't enough to worry about, the damn thing has to be carrying a virus too? The show will star Seth Gable, Rachel Perry, and Merrin Dungey from Alias.

The best part of the story is the various comments from Ain't It Cool readers. Some of the entertaining subject lines of the comments include "Why FOX Why" and "Armageddon meets Outbreak" and "For Christ's Spellcheck. Is it that hard?" Ha!

After having a transplanted kidney removed for infection back in June, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider personality Steven Cojocaru is now free of infection and looking for yet another kidney. I assume, preferably, one not carrying some nasty virus with it. Despite the setback, Cojocaru is determined to keep working, and you'll most likely be seeing him on the air commenting on the MTV Video Music Awards later this month.
