Sci-Fi Storm

I’ve added The Starlost (for those that might actually want to watch this long lost series) and The X-Files (complete season sets only) to the Sci-Fi TV Store…

I’ve opened up a Sci-Fi Television Store to gather up the DVDs available at Amazon not already covered by the Babylon 5 and Stargate SG-1 stores, and the first two shows to be listed are Farscape and the venerable Space: 1999. Expect more soon…let me know what other shows should be included here.

Set 4, which concludes the entire first season, is now available for Space: 1999. It includes a Season One documentary and six episodes including “Dragon’s Domain” – that creature gave me nightmares back then…

Set 1,
Set 2, and
Set 3 are also available. I’ll be putting together a “Cult TV” DVD store when I get a chance…

Update 8/20: Space: 1999 and Farscape are the first two shows available via the Sci-Fi TV Store…

Haven’t done one of these in a while. It’s all gleaned from Sci-Fi Wire, so head ther for the details: Matrix Reloaded likely won’t be released until 2003; Warner Bros. is developing a script to join Superman and Batman in a movie; Philippa Boyens (Lord of the Rings) is working on Ursula K. LeGuin’s Earthsea series for Sci-Fi; and Sweden bans anyone younger than 15 from seeing A.I.…

Finally, the B5 DVDs will be released. Amazon.com is taking pre-orders – hop on over to our Babylon 5 Store and place your order and support us as well. Of course the bad news is the current release date is in December…

Update 8/9: Seems Amazon has pulled it from their listings…sigh…

Update 8/13: They are listed again…go ahead and order…

Just caught this on Sci-Fi Wire. Poul Anderson passed away at his home yesterday (July 31st) of prostrate cancer. He was 74.

In 1997, he received the Grandmaster Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and just recently won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel of the Year for [asin=0812580281]Genesis[/asin].

Fox Home Entertainment has announced that Season 4 of The X-Files will be released on DVD as a complete set on November 13th. You can pre-order it from Amazon.com. You can also pick up
Season 1,
Season 2, and
Season 3 right away. Now where’s my B5 DVDs???

This came through anonymously: just an update on the dustrunners show you wrote about a few weeks ago… well, things are heating up on the site! the Game to become a character in the show has five dead people already, and there’s something bout “typhoon” that is important, too. Also (shhh!) there’s a sneak peek of the show at this address…

Well, it’s been a bit of a slow week. Obviously, I’m not posting just anything to the site – only some of the major news items I’m catching elsewhere. Very little is being submitted, and my time is more limited now. So I need your help…

PLEASE, submit news items that you think are worthy. Post comments. Tell your friends about the site (traffic is important). Buy stuff from Amazon.com via the links on the left. It’s getting to the point that I have to question whether it is worth the energy or not. Trust me, if the load gets to be too much, I’ll deputize some of you as authors/moderators…

I do have some plans for the site. I never finished the graphics style I wanted, but I’m now thinking of migrating to PHP-Nuke instead of Slashcode 2.X, and that would allow for “themes” and easier customization. This would probably happen with a server replacement (I’ve got a new server, but I’m questioning its stability right now), but I have to figure out how much of a mess it will be to convert.

I’m a member of the Dustrunners production team and I just wanted to submit some news about our animated series for your News section: Way too much info to fit here, so Read More. Details, website, and a contest within…
