Expansion and Contraction: An Advance Review of Syfy's "Stargate Universe"

1 October 2009 12:04 PM, PDT | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »

Confession: I've never watched Stargate Sg-1 or Stargate Atlantis, other than a few episodes here or there. So it wasn't with any real familiarity with the Stargate, er, universe (other than vague reminiscences of the Kurt Russell/James Spader feature film) that I watched the gloomy three-hour series premiere of Stargate Universe, the newest iteration in the fifteen-year-old franchise which seems hell-bent on being as broadly accessible to the mainstream population as possible. Taking some visual clues from the darker Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Universe tells the story of a disparate band of survivors who are thrust through one of the titular gateways and discover themselves trapped on an ancient spaceship on a course to some distant location among the stars. While searching for a way home (said ship is on a one-way course that can't be changed), they must band together to find a way to survive and create a »

Lost In Space Star May Dies

18 January 2009 11:15 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Lost In Space star Bob May has died of congestive heart failure. He was 69.

The actor, who played The Robot in the sci-fi TV series, passed away on Sunday in Lancaster Community Hospital in California.

May acted in several movies, TV shows and on the vaudeville stage but was best known for his part in the 1960s programme as the Robinson family's loyal sidekick - a role he claimed to have won by accident.

His co-star June Lockhart, who played Maureen Robinson, recalls, "He always said he got the job because he fit in the robot suit.

"It was one of those wonderful Hollywood stories. He just happened to be on the studio lot when someone saw him and sent him to see (series creator) Irwin Allen about the part.

"Allen said, 'If you can fit in the suit you've got the job.'"

May and his wife were left devastated in November after losing their family home in the wildfires that ravished parts of Southern California. »
