    Blade Runner: the franchise

    There are a few old threads about specific aspects and developments around Blade Runner, but maybe just having one general thread, at least when there's no really current, really big story might work. Anyway... over the last couple of days I've worked my way through the thirteen (so far) trade...

    Do fan films have a future?

    It’s 2019. Axanar got the fan film guidelines it asked for, and nobody was very happy with the answer. Star Trek is a going concern again on TV, with a variety of shows airing and in the works. So, there are constraints on the supply side, and alternatives on the demand side, and, quite...

    Last Doctor Who audio you listened to

    There've been a few audio-related topics here, but they've come and gone. Maybe this one can last, like the last classic Who episode you watched topic. I'm a third of the way through the second set of War Doctor audios. The first was okay, if unspectacular. This one seems to be making a bit...

    Doctor Who books (fiction, nonfiction, nonfact)

    Obverse Books, current home of Faction Paradox, Iris Wildthyme, and other spinoff series, just published another in its line of nonfiction books: Downtime: The Lost Years of Doctor Who, by Dylan Rees. After Doctor Who went off the air in 1989, there was a long run without new, filmed Doctor...

    For Space: 1999 fans....

    After a few years of inactivity, Powys Media, the officially licensed publisher of new Space: 1999 and Prisoner novels, is back in action. The anthology Shepherd Moon and David McIntee's novel Born From Adversity are already out and William Latham's novel Omega is now available to order. To be...

    Warning: Alphascript Star Trek books

    Alphascript has begun publishing Star Trek-related books. Do not buy them. Alphascript's business model is simple: the content is swiped from wikipedia, and the high cost is justified on the grounds that these are print-on-demand books (though Lulu-style POD books can be very reasonably priced)...

    A dozen albums from 2000-2009

    The favourite band topic has people listing a lot of bands, and a lot of old ones, at that, so here's an attempt at doing something more focused and more current: name a dozen albums released since 2000 that mean a lot to you. In no particular order, and by no means all the albums I could...

    K9 episode 1: Regeneration

    So, did anyone watch the first episode of the K9 TV series? It was shown on Disney XD in the UK as a sneak preview for the series, which apparently airs next year. I can't say I was very impressed with it, but it wasn't nearly as bad as some of the comments at Gallifrey Base would suggest. It...

    Doctor Who in other media

    One of the things I like about Doctor Who is the vast multimedia universe of Who stuff: hundreds of books, hundreds of original audio stories, comic strips from various magazines and, more recently, US comic books, even original webcasts like Scream of the Shalka. Personally, I've read a lot...

    Star Trek Online: The Needs of the Many by Michael A. Martin

    Due March 2010. Anyone know anything about this? I assume it's a tie-in to the Star Trek Online MMORPG...

    GTA IV multiplayer

    Okay, seems like everyone's moved on to other games, but I'm curious whether anyone plays/played much GTA IV multiplayer on Xbox Live. It looks like there are a couple of co-op/mission-oriented modes, but I can only find people playing deathmatch-type stuff right now. (Yes, I know the game came...

    10 random tracks on your media player

    Ipod, winamp, whatever... load it up, hit shuffle, list what comes up. Surprise, impress, or dismay your fellow TrekBBSites with your taste in music. (I tend to skip multiple hits by the same artist so as to increase the diversity of the list, so I'm not a purist.) Ella Fitzgerald, "Trav'lin'...

    Do TrekBBS users listen to music?

    Over at my other fave TV series-based forum, there's a busy and thriving subforum for music discussion. It's not quite as diverse as it could be (mainly rock and pop) but it's a pretty broad range within those parameters, from the well-known to the cult acts. But there's very little music...

    IDW to announce new DS9 comics?

    From former IDW editor Andrew Steven Harris's blog:...it looks like IDW will now finally pick up the Deep Space Nine license. Keep in mind, however, that like all projects not yet officially announced, this could all be the result of inside information gone frighteningly haywire, that there are...

    New Alan Dean Foster Star Trek novel?

    Disgruntled Janeway fans: try a carrot

    There are two ways to motivate people: the stick (punishing them for doing the wrong thing) and the carrot (rewarding them for doing the right thing). There's a whole lot of stickwaving going on in recent topics, in which ardent Janeway supporters talk about the large silent majority of Janeway...

    Catching up with New Frontier

    Inspired by the great time I had reading Christopher Bennett's The Buried Age, I decided to start working on the pile of unread Trek books. Two of the books I've read this weekend were After the Fall and Missing in Action, which I'd let sit around because I'd grown seriously disenchanted with...
