Sci-Fi Storm on Vacation
by Doc on Apr.18, 2009, under Sci-Fi Storm
I will be on vacation for the next week. I will have some Internet access but not an awful lot. If my loyal yet few readers can submit stories (HTML preferable – I’m working on that) on anything earth-shattering (or anything at all) it will be a lot quicker for me to post them…when I get back I am going to get back to the new software. Yes, really. I’d still like to write my own, but I recently took a good look at WordPress and it may do everything I want it to – including having guest editors…hint, hint…
Joss Whedon discusses possible Dollhouse renewal

Joss Whedon recently discussed with reporters about Dollhouse and its likelihood of renewal, despite some noncommittal statements from Fox. Apparently its odds are better than its lead-in, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Ronald D. Moore on CSI
by Doc on Apr.16, 2009, under Television
OK, I missed this announcement…while watching tonight’s episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, in which they are parodying the whole Star Trek fan culture with a fictional 60s tacky SF show called “Astro Quest” (a bit of a self-parody – CSI is produced by CBS/Paramount, who owns the rights to Star Trek), there is a producer who plans to remake the show as “Astro Quest: Redux” – with a more gritty, bloody, violent version where the captain even cries (something of a parody of J.J. Abrams upcoming film). After airing a scene to the stunned silence of the convention guests, a man stands up and points to the producer yelling, “You suck!” I recognized him instantly as Ronald D. Moore – who essentially did the same thing to Battlestar Galactica!

Richard Dean Anderson (General Jack O’Neill), Amanda Tapping (Colonel Samantha Carter), Michael Shanks (Dr. Daniel Jackson) and Gary Jones (Chief Master Sergeant Walter Harriman) will reprise their roles in a guest appearances (it is unclear if they are in the same episode or not) in the upcoming Stargate Universe.
