Sci-Fi Storm

In the strange world of television as it now exists, keeping track of when television shows start their seasons is getting harder and harder. Witness Stargate SG-1 – Season 5 starts this Friday (6/29) at 10:00pm EDT with “Enemies”.

Update 6/29: Sci-Fi Wire has a piece about the 5th season from producer Brad Wright. Things to look forward to – a 100th episode that is in a sense a self-parody of the series, and a two parter where all the Goa’uld System Lords get together against SG-1…

According to DVD News, the Lucasfilm/Ron Howard fantasy Willow, starring Warwick Davis and Val Kilmer, will be released on a Special Edition DVD on November 27th. Amazon isn’t taking orders yet…

Dark Horizons has a report that brit actor Clive Owen (The Bourne Identity) Is being looked at by director Simon West (Tomb Raider,The General’s Daughter) to star in the planned movie adaptation of the clut favorite series The Prisoner…

Charton Heston is indeed in the Planet of the Apes remake, but this time, he is the one donning the makeup. Heston told Sci-Fi Wire that he plays an “Alpha” ape in the upcoming movie.

My job will be sending me to another location for next week, and I will be away from the net completely the following weekend. As such, I will be unable to make very many updates, if at all. When I do, expect them to be terse, muke like a TidBits update…

Update 6/22: Things should pick back up on Monday…I’m at least in the same region of the country now…

OK, I admit I was never able to get into this show, watching the first half or so of the first season. Perhaps this is the reason…according to an official chat that took place with Phil Segal, Vice President of Scripted Programming at Tribune Entertainment, Leni Parker (Da’an) and Anita La Selva (Zo’or) would leave the series, and original star Kevin Kilner (William Boone) would return. How, since Boone was killed off when Kilner left at the end of the first season? Who knows, but this is Sci Fi…

It’s a busy week for me (commuting daily two states over), so here are some headlines gleaned from Sci-Fi Wire: Cinescape publications on hold; Romero penning a 4th installment for the Living Dead series; Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) won’t be in Trek X, but Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway) might; Half Life: Blue Shift ships; and fans prepare to take Voyager on more adventures…

The Saturn Awards have been announced. Read More for the list of winners.
