Eye on Sci-Fi - The X-Files, Star Wars - Rebels, The Martian and Summer of Sci-Fi

June- July 2015

By Ken Parker

We have another wide variety of news as well as a look at the summer of sci-fi and some of my opinions on some of the TV shows airing this summer. We also say good-bye to a couple of influential people in the genre and take a look at my most anticipated movie of the year, and it is NOT Star Wars!

The Avengers on Blu-Ray - No, not them, the TV series!!

Emma Peel will make her debut on Blu-ray on November 11 in the US.  Season 5 of the 1967 TV series, The Avengers will be out on Blu-ray and digital copy.  What happened to season 1-4 you ask - Well, the first 3 seasons were shot on video and may not benefit that much from a Blu-ray set and season 4, with the debut of Peel (played by Diana Rigg) is in B&W.  So season 5 is the first in color and film.

Meanwhile there are plans to release season 4 on Blu-ray in the Uk and France among other countries.
