What the hell is it with the last quarter of 2002!?
After a desperate lul in decent sci fi, we hear about lots of cool films [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] and lots of death! [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]
- Larry Dobkin, a TV director and actor who helmed and appeared in Star Trek episodes, died of heart failure Oct. 28.
- Charles Sheffield, a physicist and SF writer who won both Nebula and Hugo awards for his 1993 novelette “Georgia on My Mind,” died of brain cancer Nov. 2
- Jonathan Harris, the actor who portrayed the cowardly Dr. Zachary Smith in the 1960s TV series Lost in Space, died Nov. 3 from a blood clot in his heart while receiving therapy at a Los Angeles-area hospital, the Associated Press reported. He was 87.
- Proffessor Dumbledore… Erm.. I mean, Richard Harris dies on October 25th (It is rumoured that the only reason he played Albus Dumbledor in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) was because his little niece threatened to never speak to him again if he didn’t take the role!)
