The
Tears of an Angel
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off, Angel, has reached the end

red over the decision to cancel the series. Taste her red rage here
...

Re-thinking
Re-imagining (or B.S. Galactica)

enough to shrivel the soul of any true fan. Hmmm. Battlestar Galactica
anyone?

the BBC's shortly-to-be-released new X Files-style television series,

Starfleet
In Motion
There's rather a lot of crew on a Federation starship. So apart
from jogging around a lot during a red alert, what the heck do they
all do? Uncle Geoff muses on the unlucky blue shirts who draw the
Enterprise's toilet duty.

Why
Some Things Don't Need To Be Resurrected
Geoff asks can, indeed should, Battlestar Galactica be revived in
the same way Star Trek was resurrected with the Next Generation?
06/2003
Sold
Down the Riverworld
Philip Jose Farmer's interesting premise of adventures set on a
strange life-after-death-world is squandered on a fairly commonplace
barbarian-planet story that appears to be the pilot for a most uninteresting
and humdrum TV series.

The
Second Coming

what would the world do if the Son of God returned as a video store

Fans
Will Battle(star)
Fans fed up with Farscape being cancelled are now up in arms about
the re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica. In fact, they're calling
for a boycott.

The
Prisoner - Confined!
Uncle Geoff takes a look at the classic TV series The Prisoner,
and ponders why the heck did Number 6 resign from the British secret
service?

Lost
on the way to see the Brontosaurus
Mark Leeper explores the BBC's miniseries adoption of the Lost World,
and finds it is the best of a not-very-good lot of adaptations of
Doyle's great adventure novel of a forgotten plateau with prehistoric
man and dinosaurs. The dinosaur re-creations are effective, but
there are major discrepancies from the novel.

Futurama
Takes A Laser Blast Through The Chest. Doh!
Big Jim follows up on last month's Matt Groenig interview,
with an article on the death of cartoon SF series Futurama. Was
it Simpsons in Space, or has SF lost an unsung treasure?

Never
Fear, Smith Is Here!
Gary Oldman might have played Dr Zachary Smith in
the Lost in Space remake flick, but for the real Dr Smith, you have
to go back to the classic black and white TV series, says our Rod.

X-Files
In Limbo, But Lone Gunmen Slain
The X-Files conspiracy show spin-off, Lone Gunmen, is taken down
by the scheduling assassins. Will the X-Files be the next to fall
victim? We think the unthinkable … would it be such a bad thing
if it did get canned.

Buffy
Defection Shocker
As a TV show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer features a lot of betrayals,
intrigue and high soap. But that's nothing on what's been going
on in real life, as the mischievous show defects to the enemy.

Galactica
Lives - Has Anyone Seen My Battlestar?
The X-Men movie team are being given the chance to make the new
Galactica series. A darker, brooding Battlestar Galactica is promised
… with a host of new Cylon models for Starbuck's children to shoot
up. By your command, glorious reader.

Andromeda
Delights
Our American readers send in a slurry of reviews of this new TV
SF extravaganza. Are you fans warming to it, and would you really
want a walk-on part for Xena in the series?

Dark
Angel - It's Not Dark, And There's No Angels. Does This New Tv Series
Cut The Mustard?
What with Andromeda, this must the time of year for dreadful new
TV series to pilot.

The
Andromeda Strain - SF Genius Or Xena In Space?
We asked you last issue what you thought of the new Andromeda TV
series. You responded with vigour, and it's not a pretty picture.
11/2000
Andromeda
Angers Fans
Andromeda doesn't just have Hercules actor Sorbo in the lead role.
This new SF TV series is causing a wave on controversy as it becomes
clear just what Trek creator Gene Rodenberry really contributed
to it.

How
Far Would You Go For Farscape?
The puppeteers behind the TV program have busted a gut producing
the new second series of Farscape. Read if their labours were worth
it here.

Buffy's
Sites Must Die
Suffer not a Buffy site to die - unless they're ripping off Warner
Brother's intellectual property. And with all those darling pictures
of the Buffster online, who's safe from the demon-drenched pit-bulls
from hell that are Warner's legal team?

The
Return Of The Thunderbirds King
Gerry Anderson is pulling the strings again. But will his new dish
be science fiction cheese or sci-fi caviar when it pops out of the
special effects oven?

Dr
Who: Resurrection From The Dead
You can't keep a good Time Lord down. Heck you can't keep a really
bad one down either. Yep, Doctor Who is making a come back in 2000,
but will his sink-plunger nemesis the Daleks feature large in this
BBC production?
