  If there is going to be an animated QL the Disney will not be the one to
do the work. The bill to the QL people from Disney for a hour show would
pay for two or three of QLs regular shows.
  There are other studios that can do the job for less money.

Help, please?

1) This show I think was called "Wolfen", "Wolfman", or something like
   that.  The lead character was a guy (NAtive American, I think) who
   had wolf abilities or something like that.

2) This show had a group of people travelling endlessly.  The only person
   I remember is a woman who seemed to have a telepathic link with her 
    cat.  SHe looked into its eyes and saw everything it had seen.

It was interesting.  I like Christopher Chance better as greedy than
as driven by guilt.  I remember one story in 'TEC back in the Dollar Comics
days.  Chance finds out some guy is going to be offed.  He tries to ignore it
but can't, so he saves the guy who doesn't know about the plot.  Then he runs
into the guy on the street and hit him up for the fee!
This one...well I don't know; the first episode was better than okay but
not by much.  I think that in the seventies Robert Conrad or James Garner
would have been perfect for the part, but even today they could have done
better than Rick Springfield.  

Does anyone know if the producers for this show used to work for
Donald Bellisario?  Some ideas seemed taken from QL and Magnum, P. I.

Many readers out there have probably at one time or another at least seen
an advertisement or promotion for a fan- or otherwise nonstandarly-produced
video of some favourite series.  Perhaps the most widely-publicised ones
are Ryan Johnson's "Star Trek: The Pepsi Generation" and accompanying 4
Doctor Who episodes (which, by the way, I recommend as being an entirely
worthwhile way to spend 3 bucks...I and several others have enjoyed his
work quite a bit).

BUT

I'm looking for information on other video efforts.  What prompted this
was the fact that I'd found the advertisement for "More than a Messiah"
from the British Colin Baker group which was posted within the last month
or so while I was cleaning-out my list of things to take-care of.  Alas,
I didn't have time to throw the American representative $20 before the
deadline, but I did suspect I'd read something about fan-produced Dr.Who
or Blake's 7 episodes ages ago.  The Baker group did one last year also.

SO

If any on you have any information about these, I encourage you to post
it, as I think the interested audience must surely extend beyong myself.
(send me mail if you can't post, and I'll pass-along anything I might get)
Evaluations of story quality and continuity with the real series,
performance quality, production quality and perhaps a NONspoiler plot
review would be most helpful.  Of course, sources for things described (or
if you're willing to make copies available under whatever terms) are
important as well.  Please differentiate PAL from NTSC sources also.

I'll repost this in the fall again once the academic year is back in-
session, but hope to generate at least a little interest now.

P.S.  Just because I'm posting this to r.a.tv.drwho and r.a.sf.tv doesn't
mean you need confine yourself to the SF area.  "The Prisoner," "Monty
Python," and "Blackadder" (if anybody's done one yet) are all examples of
fine candidates for this sort of thing, and all very British.

Safety tip:  when being chased downhill by a driverless, out of control
car, run STRAIGHT AWAY.  Do not veer from the direction of the car, as you
could (perhaps) twist your ankle.  Wait for an experienced anchient
egyptian goddess to arrive and handle the situation properly (something
about standing on the hood, with a bluescreen projection of clouds and

Asimov, in an article about how he happened to do the novelization,
said he raised the same point, and got the same "nobody's home" stare
and silly answer.  At that point he said "Either I change the ending or
I don't do the book," and "they" (Allen, presumably) said "Fine, go
ahead." So in the book, they lasso the white blood cell that had
eaten the sub and drag it onto the slide with them.

Have there ever been any films made of Robert Heinlein's books?  How about for any of
Asimov's Robot series or Foundation?  If not films, even short stories
on TV would do....


Thanks,
Scott
***********

Aside from what's already been commented on: sadly, little work has been
done on bringing Heinlein to screen. A real shame: imagine "Starship
Troopers" done by James Cameron/Gayle Hurd(sp?) of "Alien(s)", or
"Starman Jones", or "Citizen of the Galazy", or "Methusalah's Children",
any of which could survive with story line intact.

I thought that Heinlein's imaginative powers started failing after
"Stranger in a Strange Land". Everything else seemed pretentious and
trashy. I think his juvenile works, mostly mid-1940's to mid-60's, were
his best.

Heinlein is INDIRECTLY represented a lot on screen. Some of the terms
and phraseology from the early Star Wars stuff comes out of his books;
some of the space marine stuff you seen in ALIENS maps very close to how
I remember his descriptions in "Starship Troopers".

'Came close to meeting him once: he was supposed to attend a meeting I
was at at the 1968 Bay Area SF Convention (don't rememeber if they were
called "BAYCON" back then) at the Hotel Claremont in Berkeley. His wife
became ill and he wasn't able to come up. A great, great influence in my
life and in my philosophies of life.

Asimov has been more represented, but still not as much as you'd think,
surprisingly. As someone pointed out, the "Caves of Steel" robot stuff
(with detective ...oops, can't remember the robot detective's name...)
could be very nicely done. Foundation would make a great trilogy a la
Star Wars, though more cerebral. The "I, Robot" stuff would be difficult
in view of current technologies (we have all kinds of robots, they just
dont' look like, well, "robots".)

Though I had really expected not to like it, I really DO like _Human
Target_  so do all of my buds who watched it with me for its campiness
factor.  Chris Chance has this almost Spidermanesque angsty thing going
on.  
	The show does push the willing disbelief envelope (how, for example
does CC take on the physical <not just facial> features of his "subject"?
why don't kids and dogs pick up on him like they do on Sam on _QL_?,
et cetera) but it is a fun ride.  Whoever posted about the art direction
and murals is right on (dare I say it...) target.  The ambiance IS
pretty cool.
	One last thing: after we watched the show on 7/25 my friends and

It was called Fantastic Voyage, and was on NBC in the mid-seventies.
The show lasted only one season, and included Roddy Mc Dowell in the
cast as a cyborg creator who joins the time traveling group after
meeting them in an early episode.

Nostagla Network screened them several months ago, and I believe they
are part of the line-up for the new Sci-Fi Channel.

I agree but the main character needs a lot of work; his motivations
are poor and is unbelieveable.  He also needs more acting training
or a better director.

The supporting cast and guests have been very good though;
the General and Colonel in the latest episode were excellent.

I also hope that they do not fall into a cliche of having an
ulterior motive in every episode; next we will hear is that the
priest from the first episode was actually a rival drug dealer!

 Well, actually, the spy-novel motif in juxtaposition to the 
 shrunken-people plot was vaguely original, but not terribly.
 Take a look at "PEOPLE MINUS X" by Raymond Z. Gallun, some 
 time; microminiaturized copies of people perform central-nervous-
 system neurosurgery, among other teensy adventures.  I think it 
 had a book publication thirty or forty years back, long after
 it was a pulp-magazine serial.

 One of George Gamow's magazine articles in the forties used 
 Mr. Tompkins, miniaturized and injected into a human bloodstream,
 to examine the structure of the human body from the inside.
 (I don't know if that one's in the "Mr. Tompkins" books or not.)

> I *think* you may be confusing this with PLANET OF THE APES, which
> was based on the book MONKEY PLANET by French author Pierre Boulle.

.....which in turn appears to owe a not inconsiderable debt to the
"GENUS HOMO,"  by L. Sprague De Camp and P. Schuyler Miller, which
got published years earlier, and, if memory serves, translated into
French quite some time before Boulle managed to come up with his 
own version.    Let's not be *too* impressed by Boulle and 20th-
Century Fox here, since Post-Nuke Ape Civilizations were invented
on THIS side of the Atlantic, and roundly ignored by Hollywood 
until the imported version made the best-seller list.

  Heck, even "David Grinnell's"  "ACROSS TIME" had a batch of 
post-human civilizations in it, and in the magazine version,
at least, the first couple were chimpanzee- and gorilla-derived.

  I've often wondered why Miller & De Camp didn't sue Fox.

I'm one of those poor souls whose TV only gets one station (a PBS station
where the only SF is Dr. Who), cable is not available in my area, and
I can't afford a satellite dish, so I haven't seen any of the newer shows
like Quantum Leap or Mann & Machine.

While I understand the basic premise of QL, it sounds a little silly.  And
yet the people who net about it seem really impressed.  Given the general
level of conversation about it (most of the fans seem like reasonably
intelligent folks), I wonder what the attraction is.

Can someone explain to me, please, what it is about QL that inspires
such loyalty?  The basic concept seems pretty straight-forward and not
all that exciting.  Is it the acting, the plots, the characterizations,
or what?

Thanks for your help...

Oh, I don't know...Quantum Leap has been doing pretty much the same
thing for many seasons now.  What will be the deciding factor for
Human Target is if they can make the stories about the people he's
replacing interesting enough to keep the viewers tuning in.

As for comparing the TV version to the comic book version, I really
can't say much as I never saw the original HT stuff.  It did keep
reminding me of Nemesis though.
