Daily Birthdays and Events in Sci-Fi, Comics and related areas

November 6, 2011

Snorks, Robotech, Star Wars, Space: 1999, The Flash, Jonny Quest, Nowhere Man, Time Bandits, Earth 2.

It doesn't feel that long ago that Earth 2 premiered and yet it was 1994. The story was good for the first while but then I found the storyline seemed to drag on as if the writers didn't have enough script for the entire show. I would have liked to have seen where the show was going but I can understand why the studio shut it down. But hey we got some great actors out of the show for future sci-fi shows and movies including Clancy Brown.


Enjoy !!!
