V & November SweepsWhat can I say? If you were a fan of the original series, you were waiting for this reboot. With no World Series game on last night, and very light competition, the ratings were “good”, BUT you have only 4 episodes and then you wait until March or April to see the rest. On the good side, the effects were very good and the acting was fun. The pilot was written by Scott Peters who did The 4400, which I just loved! On the other hand, given what was rumored to have happened to the remaining scripts, what comes next is totally up in the air. I am giving this another episode.
We have a winner!Congratulations to JUSTIN VIEL of Lawrence MA — the winner of the weekend pass to the upcoming New England Fan Expo! Justin will also be receiving a personalized autograph from Leonard Nimoy himself!
Thank you to everyone who entered the contest! Keep listening — more prizes and giveaways every week!

ComiCon Boston 2009 or Lets Set The Wayback Machine For 1972, Sherman.ComiCon Boston was this past weekend and I was blown away by some of the things that went on. We had a great booth there, made some wonderful new friends, got some great interviews and had such a moment of Déjà vu.
In 1972, I was unemployed, and would spend the mornings looking for work and afternoons in the local public library. I would wander through the stacks reading to escape the depression of my circumstances. I remember sitting and watching the Fischer-Spassky Chess Matches and being bored. So I went into the books and found The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick. I remember clearly pulling the book off the shelf at 1:13pm and finishing it by the time the library closed that evening. Read More
