How well do you know Star Trek? Lifelong science fiction fan, podcaster and author Tom Salinsky decided that the answer was 'not well enough', and so at the beginning of 2022, he embarked on a two-year mission to watch everything from the start of The Original Series to the end of Enterprise, at the rate of one episode per day. This book is the first part of that odyssey, covering the 79 television episodes which started it all, the animated series which briefly brought it back in the 1970s, the first six original movies and the full run of The Next Generation. As well as having fun saluting the show's triumphs, cringing at its lapses in taste, and admiring its willingness to swing for the fences, there's lots of fascinating behind-the-scenes information here. Why were salt-cellars unchanged in the 23rd century? Was Gene Roddenberry really not allowed to show a woman's belly button? How many characters get killed during the run of The Animated Series? Who actually wrote the script for Wrath of Khan? How did Paramount get Next Generation on the air when no network would touch it? But you'll also get the benefit of a complete overview of this landmark series, watching it unfold and familiar elements appear - often much later than you think. When's the first mention of the Federation? Of Kirk's time being the 23rd century? Of there being no money in the future? And some elements appear rather earlier than you might think - which episode is the first to feature a Holodeck? Whether you're a die-hard fan, a casual viewer, or just someone interested in the history of television, you'll adore coming on this daily journey though the highs and lows of one of the most significant and much-loved media properties in the world.

Sullivan III From Doctor Who to Lost, a select group of television series - The Prisoner, Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, Heroes, Doctor Who, and Star Trek - with strong elements of fantasy has achieved cult status. This work analyzes what makes these programs unique, and what they have in common. Included are assessments of the strategies used to promote the series' appeal, an explanation of 'transmedia' storytelling, and analysis of changes within broadcasting that have enabled 'telefantasy' to transcend niche status and enjoy prominence and popularity.

TRAFALGAR SQUARE

(W) Lance Parkin For more than 30 years, Alan Moore has pushed the boundaries of the comics medium. Moore's work crosses genre boundaries like few others, ranging from farce and high comedy to the dark, grim work that epitomized the graphics novel and comics revolution of the late 1980s. This book examines recurring themes and how Moore's work has evolved over the years from his early comic work in Captain Britain and 2000 AD, through milestone series like V for Vendetta, Miracleman, Swamp Thing, and Watchmen, to the genre-stretching works Lost Girls and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER GROUP

by Emma Westwood From the beginning of cinema, things that go bump in the night have colored our collective storytelling experience. The hypothetical 'monster,' in whatever guise or otherworldly shape it may take, is the manifestation of our fears and social paranoias, and an effective watchdog for making sure we all toe the line. This book peels back the flesh on a few monsters that have tingled our spines and caused more than a few nightmares over the past 100 years, from the creepy talons of Max Schreck in 1922's Nosferatu through the Tokyo-stomping Godzilla, to present-day cinematic monsters from such touchstones as Alien, King Kong, The Fly, and Evil Dead.

by Liam Burke Featuring an exclusive interview with Stan Lee! In 1978 Superman made audiences believe a man could fly.

Through detailed analysis and fascinating facts, this book reveals the secret identity of the superhero movie, examining how cinema has come to represent the mythological icons of our age.

Among the best of the many Western series from TV's Golden Era of the 1950s, Wanted: Dead or Alive was introduced as a pilot in 1958 and quickly gained notoriety. The series chronicled the adventures of bounty-hunter Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) as he pursued some of the West's most notorious villains - alive if possible, but dead if necessary. Though not bound to honor the edicts of the law, Josh adhered to a personal code of honor, like many other lone cowboy heroes of the era. He toted a specially designed weapon which he affectionately referred to as his 'Mare's Laig' - a .40 gauge sawed-off carbine. In 94 episodes over three seasons, Wanted: Dead or Alive became one of television's most beloved Westerns. Featuring a faux bronze finish, this 1/3-scale premium polystone casting is made from the finest materials possible. Sculpted by Shane Talbott, this bust is hand-numbered and limited to 200 pieces worldwide. (immagine) Categoria: Toys and models
