Space Precinct: The Complete Series on DVD

Hitting retailers Nov. 23 is Gerry Anderson’s Space Precinct: The Complete Series, available as a 5-DVD set or for Digital Download. From the creator of Space 1999, Thunderbirds and UFO, Space Precinct chronicles of two cops battling the cosmic criminals that menace their new world.

Lieutenant Patrick Brogan (Ted Shackelford), a veteran of New York’s mean streets, and his rookie partner Officer Jack Haldane (Rob Youngblood) have been transferred to the planet Altor -- where it is their job to protect the law-abiding citizens of Demeter City. Lost amongst planetary felons, galactic gangs…all the debris of criminal constellations…it is their job to investigate crimes committed by aliens as well as humans.

The Space Precinct DVD will be available prior to the Syfy Channel marathon from Nov. 30 through Dec. 1.

Gerry Anderson's Star Trek

If Gerry Anderson--the man behind creepy-looking marionette action heroes like Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet--produced Star Trek, this is what Spock, Kirk and Uhura would look like:

Zoe Saldana must be thrilled to finally have her own doll that will be stripped naked by Barbie collectors' little brothers.
Actually, these are Mattel's upcoming Star Trek Barbie dolls, modeled after the likenesses of new Trek stars Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana.

Below TrekMovie's snapshots of the dolls, someone in the TrekMovie comments section said: "no offense to gay trekkies or trekkers. But, Kirk and Spock look gay." They sure do. Mattel is apparently catering to the "middle-aged housewife fangirls who like to reenact their Kirk/Spock slash fanfic fantasies with dolls" market.

'I want to shout 'I love you, Spock' on the Enterprise/It's guy love between two guys.'
"Spock, at 0600, I'll need you in my quarters to help me put on my athletic cup for tomorrow morning's game of Venusian jai alai."

"Captain, why would you need an athletic cup? You don't have any genitalia."

Speaking of Gerry Anderson/Trek mash-ups...
