As can happen with these short-lived series that come and go so quickly, I've found it difficult to locate much information on Riese. For example, IMDB.com reports that the Fantasy program premiere on this day in 2009 (in Canada), but I've read a few web articles that claim the property was only a web-based show. Whatever the case, that's a very fetching lead lady (and you know how I feel about those), so here's the series' premise as provided by IMDB.com:
"Riese, a seemingly random wanderer, is being hunted by a terrifying religious cult, The Sect. Traveling from nation to nation for years, she is accompanied only by a wolf, Fenrir. Together they must evade the assassins sent by the Sect - who'll stop at nothing to complete the task they failed to achieve many years ago. Her past is shrouded in mystery, as even Riese can't recall the events of the tragic night when her entire family was slaughtered and she was forced to flee into the wilderness. On her journey, she'll piece together her past, and her destiny, in a conflict that will hold the fate of the world in the balance - and the once peaceful kingdom of Eleysia will be the battlefield."

On this day back in 1984, the TV series V aired its second episode. Titled "Dreadnought," the summary for it from Wikipedia.org goes as follows:
"Diana talks peace while readying the fearsome Triax superweapon that could reduce Los Angeles to rubble. Meanwhile, Resistance fighters activate a new weapon of their own: a captured mothership. Robert Maxwell is killed when he collides the mothership into the Triax in order to destroy it."

Quality SciFi material will even draw the attention of seasoned veterans, and such was the case for The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977) which caught the eye of Burt Lancaster (above right) for the central role of 'Dr. Paul Moreau.' As for other forays into the realms of the Fantastic, he had a crucial role aboard 1989's Field Of Dreams, but that's really about all there was. Though he's no longer with us, Lancaster was born on this day in 1913.

Though I was never much a fan of My Favorite Martian (1963-1966), Ray Walston was one of my favorite screen actors when I was a young'un. He seemed so very much like this likeable guy that you couldn't hate him in anything. Thankfully, he gave genre fans an incredible library of chances to check out his work as he's been seen aboard such properties as The Wild Wild West, The Evil Touch, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Incredible Hulk, Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, Galaxy Of Terror (1981), Fantasy Island, Misfits Of Science, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Friday The 13th: The Series, Blood Relations (1988), Superboy, Blood Salvage (1990), Popcorn (1990), Space Case (1992), The Stand, Project: ALF (1996), Addams Family Reunion (1998), Star Trek: Voyager, and Touched By An Angel. Though he's no longer with us, Walston was born on this day in 1914.

You young'uns who populate the Internet these days have probably never even seen 1956's seminal sci-fi flick Forbidden Planet, and shame on you if you haven't. Even Gene Roddenberry credits Forbidden Planet with being one of his chief inspirations behind creating Star Trek. In it, Warren Stevens played Lt. 'Doc' Ostrow, and Stevens would even get the chance later on to appear in an episode of TOS. The actor also made visits to such enterprises as Inner Sanctum, Science Fiction Theatre, One Step Beyond, Men Into Space, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Time Tunnel, Cyborg 2087 (1966), Tarzan, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Land Of The Giants, Mission: Impossible, The Return Of Captain Nemo (1978), and Wonder Woman. Though he's no longer with us, Mr. Stevens was born on this day back in 1919.

On this day in 1924, The Last Man On Earth turned up what theatrical manliness he could. Directed by John G. Blystone, the silent era SciFi/Fantasy feature starred Earle Foxe and Grace Cunard, and here's the plot summary as provided by IMDB.com:
"In the future year of 1940, a young man is rejected and humiliated by a girl and goes off to be a hermit in a redwood forest. By 1950, a dreadful plague of 'Masculitis' has killed every male over the age of puberty but our hermit hero. He's become a national treasure, and millions of man-starved females crave him, yet he still wants the gal who wouldn't have him."
For the record:
Hey there, feminists and the feminist-minded! Did you know that 1924's The Last Man On Earth is regarded as the very first film in all of cinema history to feature a female President of the United States?! Woo-boy!

On this day in 1951 (in Canada), the original SciFi classic The Day The Earth Stood Still opened for audiences to be thrilled at this vision of mankind's contact with a higher space intelligence. According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the premise:
"An alien lands and tells the people of Earth that they must live peacefully or be destroyed as a danger to other planets."
For the record:
I'd be a fool if I failed to sing this film's praises at every opportunity ... so in that spirit I believe it important to note that in 1995 the National Film Preservation Board voted to induct The Day The Earth Stood Still into the National Film Registry, which is a list of films deemed culturally, aesthetically, or historically important enough to be preserved for the ages in the U.S. Library of Congress. Kudos to all involved.

On this day in 1979 (in Israel and Sweden), Ridley Scott's Alien entered the audience's collective consciousness. According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"After a space merchant vessel receives an unknown transmission as a distress call, one of the crew is attacked by a mysterious life form and they soon realize that its life cycle has merely begun."
For the record:
The original Alien was a film that I was a bit slow to love. I thought it was brilliant, but I honestly felt its 'rewatchability' was a bit low: once you knew where all the scares were, then the effect is pretty much lost. However, I gave it many, many, many second chances ... and it still manages to scare me all of these years later. In fact, I think Alien and Aliens are the only two films in all of the series that I truly am frightened by the Xenomorphs. And, of course, I'd be a fool if I failed to mention that the original won the coveted Oscar for 'Best Special Effects' in 1980. Like a great film should, Alien continues to resonate today, as I suspect will be the case for years to come.

On this day in 1990 (in Denmark), Total Recall turned up in the memories of those who saw it theatrically. According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"When a man goes for virtual vacation memories of the planet Mars, an unexpected and harrowing series of events forces him to go to the planet for real - or is he?"
For the record:
Truth be told, Paul Verhoeven's Total Recall languished in development for some time; I've read that it was written in the late 1970's and jumped around awhile before landing with the director and Schwarzenegger to complete. And complete it they did to an awful lot of praise from industry executives and film organizations. In 1991, it won an Academy Award for 'Special Achievement' in the field of visual effects. That same year, it took home the 'Best Science Fiction Film' Saturn Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films. Alas, it lost the 1991 Hugo Award for 'Best Dramatic Presentation' to -- ahem -- Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands. Sigh.

Renford II, who has some sinister profit-making plans for the babes from space."
