        boasting point of the archive is that, for Feb only, it carries

Write your reply.

assistant: Please don't jump all over me if the only version you've
seen is the awful North American dub.
In the original Japanese version of Sailor Moon R TV,
during the opening credits, of at least episodes 73-78,
there is what appears to be an ALMOST exact replica of
Dr. Who's TARDIS in the police call box shape. Since
these episodes involve time travel, I'm kind of wondering
if they might be implying that Sailor Pluto might be a
Gallifreyan?
Before knocking this series, get a hold of one of the
three fan subtitled movies. These are movie theater movies
not made for TV. The made for TV things, they call Specials.

assistant: Hi Stephen
The same thing happend to 'Space: Above and Beyond'.
It seems to me, that FOX is no longer interested in produceing pure
SciFi-series.
They are concentrating on mystery-sieres like X-Files and Minellium.
Is there advertising for Minellium in USA?
[...]
right. That didn't look like Doctor Who.
FOX knows, how to make good shows without big FX (e.g. X-Files).
What is cheaper? computer-generated FX oder low-cost 'real'-FX?
btw: thanks for the eMail-address.
I will use it carefully.

 Rest of her ain't bad either.  I've actually met all three. D) All are great

 Sophie Aldred are the best looking!  Don't get me wrong though, all three
