And By The Way; Re Sci-Fi Now

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

If the first issue is anything to go by, there won't be many later ones.

This is the kind of up to date, cutting edge magazine that sees fit (in 2007) to use the snippet "Did you know... that Dougray Scott was originally due to play Wolverine in the X-Men films, but filming for Mission Impossible II overran." That was in 2000 by the way. How can they possibly think that anyone who would be remotely interested in the fact hasn't already known it for, oh about six or seven years?

I spotted three or four factual inaccuracies on even a fairly casual browse (the most glaring of which is that apparently the Paul McGann Doctor Who TV movie led to a US-made series - someone should tell McGann, since he doesn't seem to have been in it), and as for the quality and style of the journalism, a lot of it was like reading a rather sub-standard fanzine.

And rather brilliantly, the magazine's website (I say 'site'... splash page with a link to a forum) includes the immortal phrase Sci-Fi Now (Coming Soon).
