IN THIS ISSUE

Games and Cool Stuff return to our pages while Anime and Sound Space take the week off. Plus, we look at the new syndicated series BeastMaster as well as the classic cult movie The BeastMaster, we review two excellent short story collections, we play the wild computer game Tunguska: Legend of Faith, and more.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy is official, Battlestar Galactica may be headed to Imax, The X-Files will continue on film, there's a glitch in The Matrix, and more.
ON SCREEN
 Dar, Kyra and all those cute little animals are back (remember Kodo and Podo?) in the new syndicated series BeastMaster: The Legend Continues.
OFF THE SHELF
 We review the funny feminist anthology Women of Other Worlds, and we look at The Best from Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Fiftieth Anniversary Anthology.
CLASSICS
 The 1982 film The BeastMaster has worked its way into our cultural consciousness thanks to endless reruns on cable and a few fantastic feats of ferret derring-do.
GAMES
 Mix up genres and mix it up with a few aliens in Tunguska: Legend of Faith, an odd but enjoyable game from some wacky Polish and Russian developers. Did we mention the monks?
COOL STUFF
 Just in time for the 40th anniversary of The Twilight Zone, Silman-James Press has reissued Marc Scott Zicree's comprehensive guide The Twilight Zone Companion, Second Edition.
SITE OF THE WEEK
 Want to know when your favorite SF show is going to be preempted or when the repeats are going to air? Then you'll want to pay a visit to The SFTV Page.
LETTERS
 Our readers think Captain Janeway is both a mother figure and an abusive parent, they don't think Stigmata is good enough to offend moviegoers, and more.
