HUGO POLL

Our unofficial Hugo Poll has ended and the results are in.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 J. Michael Straczynski's keyboard is up for grabs, Harry Potter speaks out, SCI FI may revive The Outer Limits, Amazing Stories will be sold, Trek actors receive honors, and more.
ON SCREEN
 The award-winning series The Outer Limits takes its final bow with "Final Appeal," a star-stuffed, two-hour exploration of the eternal questions that humanity faces.
OFF THE SHELF
 The California gold rush provides the backdrop for Pat Murphy's Wild Angel, while Sean McMullen weaves a complex tapestry of love, betrayal and war in The Miocene Arrow.
GAMES
 Real-time strategy games need a little something special to stand out from the crowd these days: something like the two-legged, treetop-tall Combots of Metal Fatigue for the PC.
ANIME
 Ghost in the Shell director Mamoru Oshii returns with more anime for the thinking crowd: Patlabor 1: The Movie, a creepy mecha mystery with a powerful punch.
SOUND SPACE
 Did you miss Logan's Sanctuary, the 1978 sequel to Logan's Run? Maybe the retro-futuristic '70s themes of this soundtrack will bring it back to mind.
SITE OF THE WEEK
 Pity the fool who misses the hilarious, two-fisted fun of Mr. T Is the Toughest Man in Anime, a site that can't rest until its true-blue hero tweaks the snub noses of anime's biggest baddies.
LETTERS
 One of our readers carries a torch for Babylon 5, others give The Cell a going-over, one stands up for the merits of comic books, two slam Witchblade, and more.
