The Burning Zone was a medical SciFi program that aired on the UPN Network during the 1996/97 television season. I didn't watch this one (my family was in the process of moving across the country at the time), but from what I recall the reviews were quite good. Methinks the idea of tuning in from week-to-week to watch mankind suffering near-extinction (or some other similar malady) may've been too much for casual viewers as the show never really caught fire (pun intended) the way it could've / should've / would've; as thus, it only lasted a single truncated season.
Still -- for posterity's sake -- I spent some time incorporating a makeshift banner into SciFiHistory's daily listings, and I wanted to let you know that you'd be seeing them as you make the rounds in the future.
As always: thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!

If you could go back in time only seven days to stop the unthinkable from happening, then would you? That was the premise behind UPN's pretty interesting Seven Days when it premiered on the fledgling network. The program earned a full three seasons -- none of which have ever been available on legitimate home video yet -- and here's one fan seriously hoping that it sees the light of day again. It had a great cast and a winning formula, largely exploring terrorist acts that chrononaut Frank Parker raced against time to prevent when given the chance.
I bring up Seven Days largely because today is the birthday of veteran character actor Alan Scarfe, the fictional program head for the secret time travel facility located in what I think was the Nevada desert ... plus it's a cool logo.
In any event, I did some updating to the site last night and this morning, so I thought I'd give all of you SciFi smilers the straight skinny on what to check out. Otherwise, I might get some time to get a few more citations updated later today once I'm done with errands.
Today's citation updates:
Added Joe Flanigan (January 5)
Added Rachel Luttrell (January 19)
Added David Nykl (February 7)
Added David Hewlett (April 18)
Added Robert F. Young (June 8)
Added Kate Wilhelm (June 8)
Added Peter Grimwade (June 8)
Added Chuck Campbell (August 5)

Happy Friday, all of you SciFi smilers! Another week is done -- well, except for that usually grueling weekend of lawn work, laundry, and committed relaxation -- so definitely try to enjoy yourselves when you get the chance. I've done a bit of research this morning, mostly checking up on the bios of the cast for ABC TV's short-lived Defying Gravity, a program I admittedly avoided precisely because all of the reviews I read about it were very underwhelming. Still, I'll do my part to call out kudos to anyone who gives Science Fiction another program to enjoy as part of our respective Bucket Lists, so there's always that.

Happy Wednesday, fellow SciFi smilers! And -- for those of you who don't know it -- Wednesday's is always New Comic Book Day! As a supporter of most things graphic, might I encourage you to take a trip out to your corner comic book store and pick yourself up an issue or two? I've been reading them since 1970 (though off-and-on as of late), and I still find a great sense of wonder in cracking open those pages. While I have read some in the ebook format, there's still nothing like the ink on a page to stimulate my creative juices.
In any event, I'll be updating the site as time permits today. Just wanted to share with you the following ...
Today's citation updates:
Added Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Cause and Effect" (March 21)
Added Star Trek: The Next Generation's "The First Duty" (March 28)
Added Marion Zimmer Bradley (June 3)
Added Ian Gelder (June 3)
Added Star Wars's "Shatterpoint" (June 3)
Added Kate Hewlett (December 17)
Updated Jason Momoa's bio (August 1)
Updated Adam Butcher's bio (October 20)

Happy Tuesday to all of you SciFi smilers, and welcome back to me (that is) as I'm now back home from a wonderful extended vacation compliments of my loving wife and a few knuckleheads we know and think of as family. For those who don't know, I took a few days to enjoy some R&R out in some various East Coast locations -- most of them history related, so nada business-wise -- and we had a blast. So I'm back on call here at SciFiHistory, and I've done some various tinkering yesterday and today. I'll share what I can as I update so as to keep you in the loop!

Well, there's something to be said for restraint, but I suppose that I'm okay with releasing what amounts to a six-minute coming attraction trailer because -- as promos go -- this one looks pretty spiffy. If you haven't come across it elsewhere yet today, then I'm posting the official Supergirl promo released by CBS today right now ...
As the costs for providing special effects is becoming more and more affordable for studios these days, it's nice to see the quality of superhero programming going up.
Take flight, Kara! We'll be watching!

Happy Tuesday, SciFi smilers! I'll be away from the desk a chunk of today running some errands and whatnot, so there possibly won't be any updates today ... but if I manage to squeak a few in later today I'll be sure to put up a post informing you.
In the meantime, I did find a funny worthy of alerting the general lot of you: a video-ish parody involving just how many roles the lovely Tatiana Maslany REALLY plays on that BBC hot property better known as Orphan Black. Enjoy the quick laughs (it's only a minute, but still worthy).
