Astronauts gone bad!

Just when you think the world can't possibly get any weirder, an astronaut love triangle almost ends in murder. This is the kind of plot drunken screenwriters would cobble together to out-stupid each other. Except that it's all true.

That is word-for-word what happened in an unfilmed episode of "Star Cops".

I remember watching it in fits and starts, but yeah, it's been a long while. Can a brotha get a torrent?

Also, picked up my Who Season 2 box set and flitted around watching the Dr. Who Confidentials I never bothered downloading when they came out originally. Good stuff!

But while I was watching this, I said to myself "why in the hell can't I get an entire classic Who era in a box set, or a season?" I mean, they have Star Trek season box sets, and Ithe new Who is a whole season, so what's with the "individual stories dribbled out in fits and starts" thing, BBC? This is the one series where I'd gladly drop a grand to get the whole run in a big TARDIS box or something...so get on it! :)

Funny - on the Restoration Team website yesterday, someone asked the same question about season boxed sets of the classic series. I can't remember what the official response was.

And I'll send you the Star Cops torrent, Freyburg. I've got it all downloaded a while ago and burned onto some lovely DVDs. Also, the original DW Confidential's were much better as they were 30 minutes longer, referenced the classic series, and used some killer lisenced music that could never be cleared for a DVD release.

Yeah, I think I still have the series Star Cops on tapes from the same source. hopefully I'll get the chance to track them down to watch them in better quality that the ancient VHS tapes that have been collecting dust for years.

I was watching the Hours on CBC and the host talked about the whole thing. he mentioned that when it comes to sex in Zero G's not good. You sweat to much and you have to strape one partner down so you both don't go flying off. and lastly for us guy we don't get as big/

I didn't bother to read anything about this astronaut scandal, I never saw Star Cops, but yes, we've had one season release for DW here already, Season 16. Even the Brits have yet to get it so long after we got it.
