Just learned today that Dan O'Bannon, the creative mind behind Dark Star and one of the driving forces behind Alien, Blade Runner and Total Recall, died yesterday after a short illness.
Another sci-fi legend gone but not forgotten.

it's been a bad year. We also lost Patrick Dowling, the man who invented "vision on" and "the adventure game". Old things but underpinnings of my psyche.

I thought I was the only one who remembered/adored "The adventure Game" - totally amazing - I used to watch it with my dad (that and "The Great Egg Race") - it was one of the few things I think we did together when I was kid. Sad news indeed...

Well the adventure game, dramarama, battle of the planets, starfleet, those weird BBC childrens films like A Hitch in Time, anything with T-Bag in it (I see johnhasler is available I might have to get him for something), anything by oliver postgate. Etc etc etc

Don't forget that we also lost the author of Elite - The Dark Wheel, Robert Holdstock.

It's a bad year for storytelling.
