Akin to a science fiction blockbuster, the Rosetta spacecraft has traveled over four billion miles to try and achieve what no other ship has ever done: catch a comet. In 2014 Rosetta caught up with its quarry and now, only 62 miles apart and at the end of its mission, Rosetta will collide comet 67P as it enters our inner solar system. The final stages of the mission will be showcased in the Science Channel documentary “Death on a Comet: The Rosetta Mission.”

Rosetta’s first contact with comet 67P was broadcast on the Science Channel’s “Landing on a Comet: Rosetta Mission.” In 2014, the Philae probe sent to land on the comet was lost, but recently discovered, and its reemergence has provided scientists with a wealth of information about comets.

This should make you think twice about sleeping in your contact lenses.

The new episode of Animal Planet's Monsters Inside Me tells the terrifying, true story of Melanie, an Iowa college student whose opthamologist discovered she had a rare parasite eating her eye after she complained of light sensitivity and pain.

"What makes the Acanthamoeba paraside so dangerous is their ability to burrow deep into the tissue of the eyeball," biologist Dan Riskin says in a clip exclusive to People. "Once there, they can be hard to remove or even treat, which allows the parasites to feed on the host's cells unchecked.

So, um... that happened. Anyway, there's some different stuff happening tonight; a couple shows got moved around ("Bones" and "30 Rock") a couple new shows are premiering ("Fairly Legal" and "Perfect Couples"), and perhaps most importantly I'm doing my absolute damndest not to mention any sort of food products that may or may not be made with tortillas and which are most assuredly not the native food of any Us commonwealths. Even though I kind of wanted to because Ms.Shahi in the picture over there used to be on "The L-Word" and there's some really terrible and salacious puns to be made, perhaps some involving specifically flavored kisses but No! None of that. Here's your Thursday night TV:

There's a lot of days I like writing Pajiba After Dark, but lately it's been getting a little rough. Seems every other column there's some jackass reminding me that I'm not providing any information that can't be found in a TV Guide (which, by the way when are you writing those comments from, 1990? Who the fuck uses a TV Guide anymore? Isn't there a button on your remote which says "Guide" or are you still changing the channels with knobs while a radiation burn forms on your carpet?) which, duh. I mean, what information do we have on this site that can't be found somewhere else? And then last night I got one of those nutfucks while all of you were over partying on Robert's new column because why? Because he's Canadian? Like that makes him special, seems like every third one of you out there sweats Labatts while riding...
