O Captain! My Captain!
… a rag-tag fugitive fleet … on a lonely quest … to a shining planet known as Earth … Those words were a siren song to me. How many nights had I gazed up at the moon … getting lost in the stars … wishing even then that I could leave this planet and explore the galaxy, in a ship of my own, dreaming of finding a new home; a home where I might fit in.

'Star Trek' Legend René Auberjonois Dies Age 79
Hollywood is in mourning with the loss of another great, René Auberjonois. Auberjonois, who was renowned throughout the Star Trek universe as Constable Odo, also was known as a premier character actor who had a good sense of comic timing. Nowhere was this more evident than in his portrayal of Clayton Endicott III, the governor's chief of staff in Benson, a role for which he won an Emmy in 1984.

Paul Darrow - Forever Avon
Paul Darrow is a name that, for a generation of science fiction fans, will be famous for one role. On the 9th of January 1978, Darrow made his debut appearance as Kerr Avon in the second episode of the BBC science-fiction series Blake's 7, and became a legend almost instantly. His cold, ruthless nature and his dry, sardonic wit made for a killer combination that appealed to viewers, and Darrow's performance was the icing on the cake. He quite literally became Avon, and, for four years, he gunned and quipped his way through the show, becoming its leading man for the last two series after the departure of Gareth Thomas. Whenever people think of Blake's 7, they think of Kerr Avon. And whenever anyone thinks of Kerr Avon, they think, and will always think, of Paul Darrow.

The Day the Doctor Saved Me
"A king asks a shepherd's boy 'How many seconds are there in eternity?' The shepherd boy says, 'There's this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it. Every hundred years a little bird comes. It sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. When the entire mountain has been chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.' Now, you must think that's a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that's a hell of a bird." -The Doctor

Why Jared Leto Is the Perfect Choice to Team Up With Omni
It was recently announced that Jared Leto and his production company, Paradox, have teamed up with Omni to produce new original content. For those who aren't aware, Omni was a science and science fiction magazine that was published in the US and the UK. It was published as a print version between 1978 and 1995 and then shifted to a purely online version for about a year before shutting down. It has now been rebooted at Omni.media where users can now generate their own content. It's always risky when dealing with something as iconic and beloved as Omni. Not only has Omni been around for almost 40 years, it has featured iconic writers such as George R.R. Martin, Isaac Asimov, and Stephen King. Omni is now thriving once again so producing original content under its name is risking the reputation that Omni has spent decades building.
