LAB NOTES

 Cold fusion--dead, or just sleeping? Wil McCarthy explores the state of this discredited field in his new article "Cold fusion heats up on the Net."

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 Forrest J. Ackerman sues Famous Monsters, Star Trek comes to Internet radio, Rings movie release dates are set, there's a new Muppet Show in the works, Brian Aldiss is named a SFWA Grand Master, and more.
ON SCREEN
 We preview the supernatural horror thriller Final Destination as well as the premiere episodes of Farscape's second season, and we review Roman Polanski's devilish flick The Ninth Gate.
OFF THE SHELF
 In Mammoth Book One: Silverhair, Stephen Baxter takes a break from hard SF to explore a society of mammoths secretly living on an arctic island. We also look at The SFWA Grand Masters: Volume 2.
GAMES
 The Boombot Underground Technology Team takes on the Feline Alien Research Troop in Boombots, a not-too-serious fighting game that features cutting-edge Claymation effects.
ANIME
 Anime on American TV isn't all cutesy fare like Pokémon and Sailor Moon now that the Cartoon Network is airing the battling robot bonanza Gundam Wing.
SOUND SPACE
 There are already two CDs of music from the classic TV show Lost in Space available. Is it enough? Of course not! Hear even more spacey tunes on Lost in Space: Vol. 3.
SITE OF THE WEEK
 There's only one place you can see Forrest Gump as a Vulcan, or Kirk fighting Barney the purple dinosaur, and that's at the irreverent fan art site, You Can't Do That on Star Trek!
LETTERS
 More readers dread the idea of a Wheel of Time miniseries, one has some good ideas for actors to play Superman and Wonder Woman, another thinks The Others is highly clichéd, and much more.
