John Noble Really Likes Mad Science
Sure, Noble plays the crazy Dr. Walter Bishop in Fringe, but now he’s also going to be hosting something called Dark Matters, a 6-part miniseries about actual mad science and scientists, to air on the Science Channel. Based on the synopses reported on io9, the episodes include discussions of the following:
? Ape-Man Army
? Unidentified Flying Nazis
? Einstein’s Brain
? Head Transplants
? Killer Hands
And that’s just a few of the topics. Frankly, I’m 100% behind this; it’s like In Search Of…: The Next Generation. Dark Matters premieres on August 31st, if you have the Science Channel.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
