...year-old graduate of Sydney's National Institute of Dramatic Art would be a dab hand at American accents by now, but you try saying such lines as "statistically significant disease cluster" in impeccable shotgun Seattle-style. As agent Diana Skouris in the Francis Ford Coppola-produced TV sci-fi series The 4400, McKenzie does that and more. The highest-rating debut on U.S. cable last year, and a surprise hit from Australia to the U.K., the show introduced agent Skouris exercising on a treadmill - which was just as well since over 4,000 alien-abducted "returnees" were about...
...There are three new dramas. Fathom is the most unusual, a sci-fi mystery about a bizarre life form that suddenly appears in the oceans. It's Lost, with fish. (From the press release: "Ever wonder what life would be like if a new form of sea life began to appear in locales all over the earth?" Yes! All the time!) Inconceivable, a comic-edged drama about a fertility clinic, looks like it was conceived through an egg donation from Grey's Anatomy.

...this Primal Scream different from all the other Primal Screams?

My boyfriend, who hates sci-fi, is thrilled. As for me, I have finally fallen out of love with Han Solo, and when I pray, it's for God to whisk me away to the Pinot-drenched Santa Ynez Valley of Sideways. But I am also relishing my old Star Wars anticipation. True, Lucas' beautiful but turgid prequel trilogy has disappointed--but then again...
...performance as a gregarious geriatric rejuvenated by aliens is one of the high points of Cocoon, the sci-fi fantasy that has become one of the top summer box-office hits. Offscreen, however, veteran Actor Don Ameche, 77, seems already to have found his own fountain of youth. He reports he performed the movie's swan dives and jackknives in "all but a fraction of a shot." His secret: "a lot of hard work," including a daily five-mile walk and a 20-to-25-minute aerobics workout most mornings. For 35 years he has limited himself...
