Hello out there!

Welcome to Teddy Ogron. Let me tell you a little about myself. First and last - I am a science fiction fan. Loved it as a small boy, love it now as I am about to turn forty. Like Bogie said, "It's the stuff dreams are made of." And that's what this blog is all about. We're going to celebrate and explore the genre, specifically science fiction on television and in the comics. I'll be posting a lot of video, some of it my own but a lot of it made by fans just like you and me. We're going to take a look at the fun stuff, discuss the news of the day and I will offer my take on the headlines. But more often then not, I am here to share my love for a genre that inspires me to this very day.

Just so you know where I'm coming from these are just a few of the things I'm currently grooving on: Roger Zelazny's The Lord of Light, Doctor Who, Sapphire and Steel, Elektra (Frank Miller), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Captain Marvel (The Kree One), Marvel Boy, Grant Morrison (anything), All Star Superman, Starman (the comic), Paul Cornell, Russell T. Davis, Robert Holmes, Patrick Trougton, Indiana Jones, Sean Connery, The Great Train Robbery (Michael Crichton), Emma Peel, John Steed, Kim Newman, The Diogenes Club, Richard Jepperson, Immortal Iron Fist, Chow Yun Fat, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Searchers, John Ford, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Sergio Leone, The Man with No Name, Gary Oldman, Samuel L.
