The Tomorrow People, Thames Television (A&E Home Video)
Starring Nicholas Young, Peter Vaughan-Clarke, and Elizabeth Adare
For those of us who tuned into “Nickleodeon” on weekday afternoons in the 1980’s, the US-formatted DVD release of “The Tomorrow People” is a blast to our Gen-X retro past. Yeah, the special effects were cheesy and the acting amateurish in that [...]
Spoilers ahead…I just have to say I am continually impressed at how well the folks at Lost are doing with keeping the show fresh and intriguing after so many years. The finale was just heartstopping, and the show just keeps getting weirder in a good way.
A few thoughts:
1. The island can be moved? Deep underground [...]
Now, does anyone else remember Samurai Pizza Cats? A groovy parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Personally, I loved it. It was anarchic and had a manic creativity that TMNT lacked.

Phew! I just upgraded my installation of WordPress and installed a new template. Let me know if you have any problems reading it. I like the “space” theme but it’s always tricky with light on dark. (I already bumped the font size up a notch.)
I’m also excited to have a few new contributors coming on [...]
Hey all!
I am looking for contributors to Closet Sci-Fi Geek. This would be a labor of love, because honestly, with the Google ads I’m lucky if I make a buck a month off this website. But it’d be a nice way to promote your website because I do get a little bit of traffic here [...]
