Blade Runner Started, And Ended, As A Comic Book

Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner has claimed inspiration from many sources, but these mid-1970s panels by legendary French illustrator Jean Giraud (pseudonym Moebius) from his collaboration with Dan O’Bannon for The Long-Tomorrow are particularly evocative of the final product. Scott’s artistic talents also emerge in the brilliant storyboards for the film, and Sci-Fi-O-Rama collects both here.…

Battlestar Galactica Gets British Man Arrested

While we’d be the first to admit that the original version of Battlestar Galactica isn’t as good as Ron Moore’s retooled masterpiece, we wouldn’t have suspected that it was enough to get someone arrested for watching it. Unfortunately for British truck driver Benjamin Trotsman, that turned out to be the case, otherwise he wouldn’t have…

Doctor Who Faces The Question On Everyone’s Lips

Throughout the long history of television’s longest-running SF show, one question has continually popped up (and more often than not, been answered in a way that the questioner didn’t appreciate). But can you really sum up the forty-five year history of Doctor Who just by asking “What are you doing here?” Apparently, the answer is…

Eight Real-Life Doctor Frankensteins Who Pushed the Boundaries of Life and Death

Click to viewMary Shelley helped advance the science fiction genre with her tale of a scientist who brings a man built of corpses to life. But in real life, plenty of mad and not-so-mad scientists have played with human and animal bodies (and body parts) to gain a greater understanding of the limits on life.…

Recycling Hits A New High With Nerdbots

Solar power, high-efficiency appliances and sustainable agriculture are all good things, but you’ve not properly gone green until you’ve started turning unused household objects into your own droid army.
