The Complete Friday Convention report pages from the

I may get to Saturday Part one today but I've got a couple of other projects to go after before returning to work tomorrow. I'm hoping to get more Comic Con content uploaded this week as the pressure is a little off at work now.
Next week I'll be attending

I really didn't want to post a new, "What's New with Captain Phil" for the last month because I wanted to keep the Barry Morse tribute at the top of the page for awhile. Add to that more usual family and work committments and a month went by.
Well tonight, writing during I-Con 27 I'm posting about the death of another Space: 1999 alum, writer Johnny Byrne.
Picture from the Moonbound 3 Convention in Modena Italy
I plan on writing something up more in depth about Johnny, his wrote some of my favorite Space: 1999 episodes and more importantly passed on the series to the fans with his Message from Moonbase Alpha and his support of POWYS Media's line of Space: 1999 books.
Tonight on Destinies the voice of Science Fiction Howard mentioned his passing and dedicated the show to him. He also promised an upcoming tribute to Johnny in a few months. Here is a clip from the show that mentions Johnny.
The rest of the Destinies episode was the live I-Con 27 mystery guest special and can be heard here on the Destinies page

I've just learned that Barry Morse, aka Professor Bergman from Space: 1999 has died this weekend at the age of 89. Barry was a great friend to Space: 1999 fandom, attending many of the conventions the fans put on over the years. His last Space convention was in 2005 in Tampa Florida. Complete coverage of that convention and audio of Barry is here on my Space: 1999 convention pages
Barry was much more than a media guest at a convention, he was a real person who stopped and chatted with all the fans and always had a kind word for me and my family at the three conventions I saw him at. He enjoyed his life and inspired a lot of people, he never talked down to the fans, instead encouraged them to achieve their goals.

Thanks Barry. In 1975 watching you walk around Moonbase Alpha talking about Nuclear Waste I never dreamed I'd actually get to meet you in person. I'm glad I did.

Well, I need to get some sleep but I just finished uploading this weekends Destinies show featuring the great John Kenneth Muir! I've known John since the late 1990's when he published one of the first books about Space 1999. I wrote a review, he wrote me back and that was it! Since then I've seen him at conventions, hung out with him and his wive Katherine and chatted about all things Sci Fi and other assorted Geekery. John has the second season of his internet TV series, "The House Between." coming out next week and I encourage you to check it out.
I bet John would love this one of a kind Space 1999 toy currently on EBAY. Imagine the fun with your Mattel Eagle, this custom Hawk and that Mattel Moonbase control room toy they made back in the 1970's.
Now all we need is a matching Martin Bower bomber to really bring us sad old Sci Fi geezers back to 1976.

I'm pretty psyched about tonights Destinies show which will feature a live interview with Matthew Atherton aka
FEEDBACK!
Howard has been talking about it for weeks and he'll be starting the show with a new Destinies promo that Matthew was kind enough to record into my Archos MP3 recorder back at the last Chiller Theater convention. So listen live or in the archive because Matthew is a great guy and this promises to be a great interview.
Some really sad news today, over in Iraq Major Andrew Olmsted was killed along with Captain Thomas J. Casey and are the first US Casualties of 2008. I usually don't write about what happens day to day in Iraq here on Captain Phil Online (And I'm not a real Captain, the names a stupid Star Trek joke that's about 30 years old now!) but if you poke around a bit you'll figure out how I feel about things. If you look at my links section you'll get a clearer picture on how left I am.
But I'm not going to talk about any of that now except to tell you to read Major Andrew Olmsted's blog right over here:
and pay careful attention to the sort of things he quotes. It seems Olmsted was quite the Babylon 5 fan and I think I would have enjoyed sitting around watching B5 with him. I've always heard B5 quotes in my head whenever I've given the war in Iraq the time it deserves. I'm usually drawn to things Mira Furlan said as Delenn and I've often felt in a lot of ways sometimes this country is Minbari. Well Olmsted was a writer, the type of writer G'Kar became half way through Babylon 5. Unfortunately for all of us Olmsted has joined G'Kar and has gone beyond the rim.

Happy New Year from Captain Phil Online! Had a great visit today from my friend Howard, who is the voice of Destinies which is the voice of Science Fiction. He's bringing me and a bunch of other Desti-fans onto the show this Friday to discuss the best films of the year 2007. Here is the list of films we're choosing from and some notes on who's seen what so far. (I still have a stack of DVD's from Blockbuster to get through!)
Also I have plenty of plans for this lowly little website including...
1) More Convention Reports!
2) Semi-regular Blogging!
3) Revised Destinies pages including the often dreamed of but never appearing Essential Destinies Page (Someday!)
4) More Convention audio!
5) A relaunch of Captain Phil's Podcast (Or would that be Captain Phil's Podcast Re-Imagined?)
6) More Space 1999 Content.
Will any of this happen? Will anyone care? Stay tuned to find out if anything at all happens here on Captain Phil Online!
