It being summer and all the teachers being out of the high school I work at I’ve had the opportunity catch up on my movies and find new things while I’m working. LaMB is one of the new things I’ve discovered (Hulu seems to be a veritable treasure trove for interesting independent scifi offerings), and it has an interesting premise. Apparently humanity has trashed the Earth and has had to head out into space to find a new place to live, rather like Firefly and several other scifi movies, shows, stories.
Back in May we last mentioned Venus Rises. Unfortunately, the site had had some technical problems, and the episodes were either unavailable or all a-wonky. The director of the project has since contacted us to let us know...
We were supposed to have like two more months until Caprica came back, but they decided to burn off the final ten episodes before the end of the year, before the actor's contracts expire, *Just In Case* they decide to sign it for a second year. - seriously, is this a textbook 'troubled' series or what? - I thought I'd regale you of some fairly old BSG news.
We've talked a bit about it before, now it seems one (slight) step closer to reality- the Buck Rogers Web series from noted Star Trek Fan Auteur (oh, that felt weird to type) James Cawley.
While we're waiting for the return of SF Heavy-Hitters on TV like "SGU" and "Lost" and (Sigh) technically, I guess, "Caprica," there's still plenty of original online genre content to keep us entertained.
One of the more interesting and ambitious series is "The Black Dawn" - a contemporary story about a plague that turns the sky black and kills 99% of all humanity.
It's been running for a while, but it's got a pretty regular production schedule, and I find I've gotten kind of involved in it. In fact, there's *two* "Black Dawn" series running:
A few years ago it was announced that there was a new, original SF webseires called “Venus Rises” in production. Here’s the first clip that I ever saw of it:
