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

March 23, 2010

Genesis II, Dylan Hunt, The Thing From Another World, Conan, Doctor Who, Quark, Hercules, Eagle Eye, Wonder Woman, Caprica, Green Hornet, Bambi.

Today there are a lot of different actors with so many different talents. I recommend taking the time and looking through them all.


One event I recommend for you to Google is Genesis II. Genesis II was the first of three attempts by Roddenberry to create a new sci-fi series following the success of Star Trek. Although Roddenberry had scripts lined up for a 20-episode first season, CBS declined to pick it up, opting instead for the short-lived Planet of the Apes live-action series. For all of you that have seen the 2000 Andromeda series that was produced by Majel Roddenberry the you'll recognize the main character Dylan Hunt. Some of the ideas were used from Genesis II such as the melodramatic opening line, "My name is Dylan Hunt. My story begins on the day on which I died." I suggest if you can find the movie then sit and enjoy.

March 20, 2010

John de Lancie, Adventures of Superman, Torchwood, Dr. Who, The Phantom, Linus Van Pelt, The Lost World, Cyborg 2087, Stargate SG-1, The Astro-Zombies

For the Star Trek fans it's a day to celebrate John de Lancie ( Q ). His work goes well beyond his role as Q and I recommend taking a peek at his other roles.


Also today two actors appeared in the 50's TV series, Adventures of Superman. One of the coolest things I always liked in the series was Superman's flying scenes. While considered simple by today's standards, the flying effects on Adventures of Superman were advanced for the period. A little info about his take offs was that cables and wires were used for Superman’s take-offs early in filming, but when Reeves came close to suffering a concussion in the episode "Ghost Wolf", cables and wires were discarded and a springboard was brought in. Reeves would run into frame, hit the out-of-frame springboard which would boost him out of frame (sometimes over the camera), and onto padding. With the proper camera movement it almost seemed like he was flying out of the scene.


I also recommend taking a look at the comic book artists and voice actors, you never know who you'll recognize. Enjoy !!

March 18, 2010

Bill Reinhold, Badger, Judomaster, Reg'lar Fellers, Red Planet Mars, Dune, Babylon 5, Fractured Fairy Tales, Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century.



Well I want to start this off with a big Happy Birthday to comic book artist and Facebook Friend Bill Reinhold. Back when both I and Bill were much younger I bothered him at his table at the 1990 Chicago Con and convinced him that a Badger and Mavis sketch would be a great thing (for me of course). Needless to say he was nice enough to do it. The work was large and intricate and must have taken him more time than what I paid for it. It sits proud amongst my collection of works and serves both as art and a memory of the event. Of late, I was glad to have run into Bill at SDCC in 2009, it was great to have met him again after 19 years. Happy Birthday Bill !!



Now, onto other birthdays and events. As always I recommend reading through the list. Today I dug a little deeper and put a little trivia in for some of the people. It's just little factoids that caught my interest and hopefully yours. So without spoiling anything, read on.


Oh and also when you get to the events portion let's see you get the song "Believe It or Not" out of your head.
