The Warp Zone: Jan. 25, 2009
Patrick and Cris are back (despite the court order) and give the news outlets and alien anal probe to bring you the latest sci-fi and fantasy tidbits.

Armageddon Watch: Barbie meets James T. Kirk. I wonder if he got her a great deal on Priceline.com.

And, as always, more news and information than you can shake a wookie at. Come to think about it, it would probably be the other way around.

This week's catch phrase...IN 3D! Where was the technology when "Porky's" came out, huh?

We want to hear from you. Leave comments here on the site or email me at thewarpzone@radio.fm.  If you let me know you're willing and maybe we'll get you on as a guest host! Trust me. This is one of those things your mother warned you about before you went off to college.

Khan is gone. Ricardo Montalban dies at 88
Ricardo Montalban died today at the age of 88.  I remember seeing this smooth, elegant, powerful actor for the first time on the original Star Trek as Khan Noonien Singh. Soon, it was Mr. Roark on Fantasy Island. There have been many rolls since, but his portrayal as Khan in the movie Star Trek II will be remembered as the single most dramatic and passionate villain in the Star Trek universe and, possibly, in the history of movies. 

Mr. Montalban wrote the manual on how to make a sci-fi villain more than just a two-dimensional character that gives the hero something to do. He made Khan a person that, even though you wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley, you still respected.

He was an actor who defined a major character in the realm of science fiction. There's one less star shining in the universe, and space is much darker without him.  He will be missed.

Armageddon Watch: The secret word of the day...WEREWOLVES! When you hear it, scream real loud. I mean it. Please.

And, as always, the latest news and information that you could probably get elsewhere, but are just too damn lazy to get yourself. Fine...we'll do it. But you have to do the dishes.
