12 Greatest SciFi Series Of All Time?

Scott Bakula (who would go on to star in Star Trek: Enterprise) played the role of Sam Beckett, a scientist who finds himself “leaping” into the bodies of different people during different time periods. This made for some interesting situations, because not only did Becket have to solve some sort of problem, but he also had to deal with the personal life of the person that he “leapt” into.

I don’t know if I agree with all of these…and there are a few that I would have picked that were left out…hmmm…but…it’s hard to say that any of them don’t belong on this list…I guess…12 is just so limiting.

Fun Star Wars Facts

In July 1973, George Lucas was an unknown director working on a low-budget 1950s nostalgia film called American Graffiti. He approached Universal Studios to see if they were interested in a film idea he called Star Wars. Universal turned him down.

I knew a lot of these…and I think some may even be urban myths…but still a fun read for those that can’t get enough Star Wars. Oh…and wait to you read the source at the bottom…niiiice.

Science fiction is all about creating strange and incredible worlds, whether they’re the future of Earth or a far-off planet. And the key to the most breathtaking science fictional worlds always starts with the work of production designers and concept artists who create brilliant and freaktastic worlds, like James Clyne’s concept art for Transformers, above. Or Warren Manser’s original art for Stanley Kubrick’s version of A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, below the fold. Here’s our roundup of the 10 designers whose work is exciting us the most right now — and whose forthcoming projects you should watch out for. -io9.com

John Carter Of Mars

The Pixar Blog confirmed directly from ”Wall-E” director Andrew Stanton himself that he is indeed currently writing the script for the upcoming Edgar Rice Burroughs‘ science fiction book ”John Carter Of Mars”. – io9.com

Oh man…this movie really needs to be made. It has the potential to either be the greatest animated film of all time…or the thing that finally kills pixar’s momentum…now with that sweeping generalized statement I will use my power of hope to make the film great…mmmm….so good.

Gatchaman Inspired Sketch



Saturday night me and the family went to Sonic “The burger joint” and we sat outside. For some reason I was thinking about G-Force, a cartoon from my childhood that I was really inspired by artistically. So I sketched this little Gatchaman inspired helmet from what I could remember. My scanner seems to be doing better…not perfect…but I think I’m getting it.

I think I will do a series of space helmet sketches…some inspired by existing and some I may just fabricate.

Star Trek Fans Do It

Nick Cook, a 38-year-old nurse, is the producer of The Stone Unturned and the other films made by Intrepid Productions. He answers the door to his home and leads me to the kitchen where his wife, Lucita Faria, 33, is applying green and yellow make-up to the pointed rubber ears of David Reid, a 36-year-old student accommodation manager from St Andrews. Reid explains that he is playing a character who is half-human, half-Romulan. He has a brown blanket swept over one shoulder and pinned in place with a nice brooch. His Spockish eyebrows give him a wry look.

I wish I was surrounded by enough local Star Trek geeks to go about making my own fan film. Sadness ensues.
