LAB NOTES

NEXT ISSUE: Games and Cool Stuff return to our pages.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 The new Highlander film is set to shoot, Harsh Realm gets off to a harsh start, Michael Crichton tries to sell Timeline for nothing, and more.
ON SCREEN
 What do you get when you cross a modern-day human with a Bronze Age man? The USA Network original movie Evolution's Child has the answer.
OFF THE SHELF
 We review William Gibson's new novel All Tomorrow's Parties, and we look at The Road to Mars, an SF comedy by former Monty Python member Eric Idle.
CLASSICS
 In the 1980s Space Ace was a revolutionary arcade game. In 1999 it's a new DVD release that you can play with a TV and a remote control.
SOUND SPACE
 Composer Stu Phillips has rerecorded more than two dozen tracks he created for Battlestar Galactica, and now they're available on one really cool CD.
ANIME
 Sure, Outlaw Star is filled with generic anime characters and ho-hum plot lines, but it's also got some of the coolest villains you've ever seen.
SITE OF THE WEEK
 Now that Admiral Ackbar is done leading the Rebel Fleet, he's running for Earth president...and he needs your vote!
LETTERS
 If you thought the Captain Janeway discussion was over, think again. Plus, our readers talk about The Beastmaster, Farscape, The X-Files and more.
