Captain’s log: stardate 3468.1 Who Mourns for Adonais? had an original airdate of 22 September, 1967 and was penned by Gilbert Ralston.

Star Trek: The Original Series – The Roddenberry Vault
Star Trek, as anyone who knows me, or this blog, will tell you this show, and its incarnations, is incredibly important to me. The shows, films, books, comics – it seems I could never get enough of it, and there would never be enough, nor would there be any Trek that I had never seen….

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) – Russell Mulcahy
The Sci-Fi Chronicles continues to explore my guilty pleasure film series, by plunging me into the third film based upon the popular Capcom video game.

The Greatest American Hero (1983) – Heaven is in Your Genes and Live at Eleven
We’re closing in on the end of The Greatest American Hero, and I’m starting to worry that some of the stories are going to get a little goofy. For instance… Heaven is in Your Genes was written by Patrick Hasburgh and aired on 13 January, 1983. Bill (Robert Culp) has been kidnapped, but is believed…
