THE CASSUTT FILES

 Television writer and producer Michael Cassutt describes his dreams--past, present and future--for sci-fi TV series in his latest column, "Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda."


INTERVIEW

 Titan A.E. star Bill Pullman and co-director Gary Goldman talk about creating a dark, animated reality that audiences have never seen before; the tricks to mixing 2-D and 3-D animation; sequels to Dragon's Lair and Independence Day and more.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 The Saturn Awards are announced, Mulder might be the father of Scully's baby, SCI FI renews Farscape, Lisa Howard is leaving Earth: Final Conflict, Crusade scripts are available free online, and more.
ON SCREEN
 Legendary animators Don Bluth and Gary Goldman make their SF debut with Titan A.E., a dazzling space opera about a kid who's too late to save the Earth but who just might have a shot at saving humanity.
OFF THE SHELF
 Charles de Lint, master of urban fantasy, delves into the mythology of First Nation peoples in Forests of the Heart, while Maggy Thomas's Broken Time offers a wild ride with an appealing heroine through a war-torn--and time-torn--future.
GAMES
 Is Vagrant Story the last game you'll need before the PlayStation 2 launches? Its unique combat system and processor-stretching graphics--along with a few surprises--make this complex role-playing game the PlayStation title to beat.
CLASSICS
 Robert A. Heinlein took SF to a new level with his milestone novel Stranger in a Strange Land. Reviews at the time called the book's depiction of sex and the human condition heretical, if not pornographic. Is it still earth-shattering 40 years later?
COOL STUFF
 Robert A. Heinlein: A Reader's Companion lists all of the Grand Master's known works, along with notes on significance, anomalies, cross-references and indexes. It offers surprising insights into a sometimes enigmatic author.
SITE OF THE WEEK
 Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers may have turned in their OSI badges and retired, but songs of their heroism continue to be sung on The Six Million Dollar Site.
LETTERS
 One of our readers calls for the return of Ambassador Spock, another compares Farscape to Buck Rogers, one recommends some Roman-themed science fiction, and much more.
