Hello World!

Welcome to a very late edition of the Site Columns, more than two days later than it should have appeared. Unfortunately, both Amy and I had to cope with unreliable internet connections over the past couple of days, and while we're reasonably up to speed at TrekToday, there's quite a bit of catching-up to do here at SlipstreamWeb. Expect several news items tomorrow, and if you sent me any email, look for my responses to start arriving tomorrow as well.

Slipstream BBS Discussions

Below are some of the topics currently being discussed at the Slipstream BBS:

-With the airing of 'Banks of the Lethe' behind us, several threads discussing the episode have of course appeared. Read Mr. Light's review, Dylanite's thoughts or Cling-On's opinion. Then talk about the nods and references or your favourite lines from the episode.


-Participate in the Beka Valentine project!


-And in general SF discussions: what did you think about the X-Men movie?

On TV This Week

Airing this week in the United States and Canada is the final new episode airing in the year 2000, 'A Rose In The Ashes', after which the first series of reruns will start. It will most likely be airing in the weekend, but to find out exactly click here for the US airdates, and here for the Canadian ones.

'A Rose In The Ashes' was written by Ethlie Ann Vare, and directed by David Warry-Smith. Here is how Tribune describes the episode:

With their communication with the crew of the Eureka Maru completely cut off, Dylan and Rommie are forced into exile on a prison planet and must befriend fellow inmates to attempt any escape."


More information on the episode can be found here.

New Commonwealth Sites

5 new sites were added to the All Sites Commonwealth, our Andromeda web directory, over the past week, as well as a new category listing all sites that mainly provide Andromeda downloads. Here are two of the new sites:



  • The Andromeda Report, part of the series of SF sites at Xenite.org, offers episode summaries, a fan fiction archive, a web site news service, a FAQ, and character biographies.

  • Emma's Gordon Michael Woolvett Website is dedicated to the talented actor Gordon Michael Woolvett. Here you'll find information about Gordon's movie work, television appearances and of course some of his personal information and pictures.
