Happy Easter !

Today just a short post to wish all my readers happy holidays. Right now I´m taking a much needed break from my hugely popular Moebius posts, but don´t despair there are at least two left to come.


Initially the plan was to stay away from the internet because I haven´t slept very much during the last days but I wanted to get this post done. Just a few days ago I finally tried the option thingie that lets you write something and post it at a certain time but since it´s always confusing to wrap my head around that whole CET / AM / PM thing I´m just writing this in real time - as always.

With 6 posts in one month I have the highest post rate since November last year but I´m not sure what my next post will be about. Judging from the comments on my last post there are quite a few fans of Karl May´s work like WINNETOU or DURCH´S WILDE KURDISTAN and it might be interesting to do a post about it. I mean there are the books, the movie adaptions and the comics based upon the books. I remember reading a comic version of the adventures of Kara Ben Nemsi Effendi but for the life of me I can´t recall the name of the comic.


Another thing I have in mind is doing a post about those german comics I read when Condor was printing the Marvel comics again in Germany and those issues were my sole source of Marvel stuff. I found a few covers during the research for the last post and I have to say I bought quite a lot of them. Not knowing the source material I had no idea how good the translation was of if they left out pages ( which happened quite a lot in german adaptions of US comics ) but the quality of the stories they selected was top notch. Just look with which comic they started.


Now there may be some readers who say : " Hey, what´s up with Doctor Who ? It´s been ages since you mentioned it. "

Well, probably not but it´s still true. I haven´t written about the good Doctor lately which of course doesn´t mean my enthusiasm for the series has diminished. I´m still trying to get my fix of Whoness and in my quest to that end I even managed to get some comics. Yes, that´s right. I regularly check out the bargain section and while some books stay at a good price for a long time ( like the AVENGERS WORLD THRUST hardcover still offered at 9.18 EUROS or the AVENGERS BY BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS : HEROIC AGE oversized hardcover offered at 22.95 EUROS containing AVENGERS PRIME and the first six issues of AVENGERS and NEW AVENGERS ) some of them are going very quickly.

So quickly in fact that the last ones I got from the bargain section were gone after a few days. The comics I ordered were TALES OF THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS VOLUME 3 ( a 19.99 $ book offered for 8.63 EUROS ), DOCTOR WHO CLASSICS VOLUME 7 ( a 19.99 $ book offered for 7.84 EUROS ) and DOCTOR WHO - WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE ( a 17.99 $ book offered for 6.49 EUROS ). Which was 57.99 § of comics for 22.46 EUROS so I was willing to try out those Doctor Who comics. Of course the GREEN LANTERN trade was good with solid art by Joe Staton although I would probably not have bought it at regular price.


The DOCTOR WHO CLASSICS was a bit weird to read since it recolored reprints of older Doctor Who comics starring the seventh Doctor portrayed by Sylvester McCoy. I´m not very familiar with this one since I have only seen two things where he appeared in : the THE FIVE DOCTORS special and the really bad DOCTOR WHO pilot where he´s the current Doctor at the beginning and then regenerates. Interesting stories with a variing degree of art quality but it was strange to read the adventures of a Doctor to which I had no connection. Maybe I should try another volume with the first Doctor.

Now DOCTOR WHO - WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE was indeed a Doctor I´m very familiar with since it had the Matt Smith incarnation as well as his trusty sidekicks Amy and Rory Pond ( I love it how Rory always says he´s not Mr. Pond and the Doctor insists yes, you are ) but I got a bit of mixed feelings from this one. I had bought the 100 PENNY edition of the first issue of this series and was very eager to read the first trade THE RIPPER but this was kind of meh.

I liked the first story with art by Mark Buckingham and the idea of a goalshooting duel to the death but the rest of the trade left me a bit unimpressed. The story was clever enough but while the art managed to capture the main characters likeness the blocky, minimalistic line just didn´t work for me. Maybe just a minor detail but it bothered me through the whole story. But all things considered not a bad investment.

As for the proper Doctor Who television series I finally managed to get my brother to watch the second season of David Tennant and we still have a few specials to go before we come to the Matt Smith episodes. As for my personal Doctor Who watch I´m still watching season two of the original series and my next episode is CRATER OF NEEDLES from THE WEB PLANET. I just haven´t been able to warch an episode in the last days because I have been too busy as always. As for new episodes there are none as of this date but the new trailer for season seven has been released and it looks like it´s going to be as thrilling as ever.



Last but not least I have one of those celebrity birthdays that manage to annoy some of my readers. Krista Allen, who also was on SMALLVILLE, CHARMED and X - FILES ( in the episode FIRST PERSON SHOOTER she played vr honey Maitreya as well as the real life original stripper Jade Blue Afterglow ) celebrates her 41st anniversary. She is probably best known for her role of Jenna Avid on BAYWATCH HAWAII.


BAYWATCH HAWAII was a BAYWATCH spin - off like BAYWATCH NIGHTS and man, BAYWATCH is like THE ultimate babe tv show. No kidding. No other show had more actresses who were featured in Playboy or playmates who had a guest role. Apart from that the show had every hot babe there is in one of the episodes.

If there was a hot babe during the time the show was produced you can bet that she´s in - at least - one of the episodes. And so it´s no wonder that Krista Allen was added to the Who´s Who of male fantasies that was going through the revolving door on that show with names like Pamela Anderson, Carmen Elektra, Tracy Bingham, Teri Weigel, Jenny Mc Carthy, Jasmine Bleeth, Donna D´Erico, Kelly Monaco, Brande Roderick,Stacy Kamano, Nicole Eggert, Mitzi Capture, Gina Lee Nolin and Erika Eleniak.


I just recently got the sixth season on DVD from amazon, which is the one with Carmen Electra. They have most of the seasons for less than ten bucks now but at the moment I have to pay my old orders before I can get new stuff. This whole amazon thing is just too tempting because they have all these comics and DVDs and Blue Rays so cheap. The last thing I ordered, and which will probably arrive next Tuesday is the second volume of ARCHIE - THE MARRIED LIFE by Norm Breyfogle but I just had to get it.

The first volume was just incredible ( although I still have to write the review on it and the other Archie comic I got ) and the great thing about these telephonebook sized volumes ( 320 pages ) is that they include both storylines, the one where he´s married to Betty and the one where he´s married to Veronica.


I just couldn´t wait until this new volume comes out and if I can find the time I will probably re - read the first volume before diving into it.

Like I said, I could have ordered more seasons of BAYWATCH but right now there is a lot of other stuff I haven´t watched yet like the second season of THE DUKES OF HAZZARD or as it´s known in Germany ONE DUKE SELDOM COMES ALONE ( Ein Duke kommt selten allein, don´t ask ) starring SMALLVILLE´s Pa Kent John Schneider, season one of AIRWOLF, seasons one and two of TRIPPING THE RIFT or season five of THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR ( Jail bait sexbomb Tatyana Ali totally rocks ! ).

Does she have a booming hardbody like a teenage Janet Jackson or what ?

Man, with that terrific body and a voice to match Tatyana Ali´s the total package - and I´m not talking about Lex Luger. You work that body girl !

Although she still could take some grinding lessons from Janet Jackson.

Especially this move is very popular with the male audience members.

Back to Tatyana Ali she really bOObed all out in later movie appearances :

Okay, I know all the DVDs I bought is a lot of stuff and maybe I went a bit overboard with those " 2 complete tv seasons for 20 bucks " offers, on the other side I missed the boat on GALAXY RANGERS ( one of the best animated series ever ) and I´m always bummed out when that happens. In any case, I think that the BAYWATCH seasons will be either keep their low price or get to it later but I can wait for that. Right now I got the most important one with Carmen Electra and plenty of stuff to watch.

I hope you also have enough things to watch over the holidays as there is either nothing on tv or they are showing all the good stuff at the same time. Like always the post got a bit longer than planned and I hope you´re not too bored by now. Happy Easter !


For all those who might find them without entertainment the next few months Today´s video is the animated movie THE HOBBIT from 1977 that was never released in Germany. A rare find that I stumbled upon while watching the ARZACH RHAPSODY episodes from one of my previous posts. Which you should really watch because they are quite fascinating. But now, welcome to Middleearth my fellow travelers.

edit : the video was deleted , I hope you already watched it. For those who haven´t, here is the intro from the movie. It was all I could find.

Tripping the rift

I should have probably posted this on Thursday but it´s one of the things I totally forgot. The animated cartoon show TRIPPING THE RIFT has finally found it´s way to Germany.


Thanks to DMAX this show has finally made it to german tv screens. To celebrate the start of the tv show they showed two episodes on Friday, two episodes on Saturday and two episodes on Sunday. Which means that either you have already seen it or if you haven´t you have already missed the first six episodes. But it will be aired on Sundays from now on ( at 23.15 hours showing two half hour episodes ) so you can still watch the rest.


Now what is it all about ? Tripping the Rift is from the guys behind the Simpsons and the half hour episodes are the adventures of the crew of the starship Jupiter 42. Chode is the three - eyed blobby purple alien captain whose insatiable sexual appetite and very un - sugarcoated dialogue provides the lowest point of the show’s maturity, but also the funniest. Pleasure droid Six offers the brains and the looks behind their operations and is usually the target of gratuitous sexual references.

The gay robot Gus manages a few laughs here and there, and both the hideous bovine alien T’nuk and wimpy lizard Whip generally just get annoying. Main villain Darph Bobo ( a clown - like Vader knock off ) doesn’t always impress, but he has his moments.


Tripping the Rift has always had a cult following for its creative parodies of sci-fi favorites coupled with brazen language and generous doses of sexual deviance. The major appeal of the TV show lies in the edgy quips and ludicrous parodies ( along with frequent hints of nudity from the unnaturally jiggly female android Six ) which is the reason I know something about this show at all.

Longtime readers may remember a time when I still had one blog and on one post about hot sci fi babes I was asking my readers about a picture of Six that I had found on the internet. Thankfully one of my readers knew about the show and pointed me into the right direction. So I think since everything I wrote is now on another blog I should post it here. At that time I decided to transfer it to the other blog because it was not comic related but since it´s now broadcast on german tv and it is connected to the Simpsons ( and you can´t have enough hot comic related babes on a blog ) here´s more info about the main attraction of the show : Android Six.


Six of One / Six of Nine ( or just Six ) - Six is a sexy android ( though she is usually referred to, incorrectly, as a cyborg in the show ) that was designed as a sex slave. She acts as the ship's science officer, thanks to a programming upgrade by Chode; much to his chagrin, this upgrade has also given her a conscience and sense of decency ( in spite of her sexual nature ). She often gets the crew out of trouble by using her erotic attributes. Six's name is a parody of Star Trek : Voyager 's Seven of Nine, and the phrase " Six of One, Half a Dozen of the other. "

Six's character is also a parody of Zev the Love Slave from the Canadian Sci-fi series Lexx. Her name is also a parody of 69 - a sexual position. The final episode of the second season revealed that she was modeled after a stripper named " Half a Dozen ".



Although both Patricia Beckmann and Terry Farrell were listed in the credits of the pilot as Six of One, a small pamphlet included in the Season 1 DVD Box set listed her name as Six of Nine.

Her voice was done by Patricia Beckmann and Terry Farrell in the pilot ( two versions ), Gina Gershon in season 1, Baywatch star and five time PLAYBOY girl Carmen Electra in season 2 and Playmate of the Month of October1993 and Playmate of the Year 1994 Jenny McCarthy in season 3.

And for more on such baywatchable babes like Erika Eleniak ( who is of course most famous for her incredibly steamy striptease in UNDER SIEGE ), Krista Allen ( best remembered for getting her freak on as french blow up sex doll EMANUELLE in 8 made for tv movies ) or natural born go go dancer Carmen Elektra check out my latest BAYWATCH SPIN - OFF POSTS.

Six Character profile :

Six, voiced by Carmen Electra on the Sci Fi Channel's Tripping The Rift, is the hottest, sexiest and most advanced android ever created.

The science officer of starship Jupiter 42, she's designed to have more sex than a dorm full of college freshman. Her programming enables her to fake more than 2,000 types of orgasms in more than 600 languages. Though she is smart enough not to have to resort to innuendos or lewd come - ons as the solution to every dilemma, it is a testament to her seductive prowess that she manages to copulate her way out of trouble as often as she does.

Her pleasures are countless, but her dislikes include sand in her Vaseline and always being the smartest one on the ship. Her secret ambition is to be a science 'droid that has rockin' sex instead of a sexbot that knows how to spew technobabble.

Twelve questions for Six

1. What species makes the best lovers ?

Six : The seven - holed Aurillian sex bunnies on Ejaculus 6.

2. Have you ever had zero - gravity sex ?

Six : Yes, but it's hard to go down when there is no down.

3. Being a 'droid, do you have any unique sex tricks ?

Six : I can detach my jaw to accommodate any size object.

4. Are you good in bed ?

Six : Yes, the bed, a counter top, floor, any flat surface really.

5. What's the most unusual place you've had sex ?

Six : Hopefully I haven't had it yet.

6. Any nicknames for your girl parts ?

Six : Fun chute, rocket launcher, whopper eater.

7. What's your favorite sexual act ?

8. Do you prefer giving oral sex, or receiving oral sex ?

Six : I'm only programmed to give.

9. What's your favorite part of the male anatomy ?

Six : Any part I can reach with my tongue.

10. Do you like to talk dirty while making love ?

Six : I have four settings for that: a) Dirty talk, b) Really dirty talk, c) Locker room raunchy, and d) non - stop profanity.


11. Ever have a three - or more - some ?

Six : I once had a 17 - some at a Star Trek convention.

12. What celebrity would you most like to have sex with ?

Six : Woman: Pamela Anderson. Man: Hugh Hefner. Even though I have been programmed with over 200,000 sex " scenes " from four different galaxies, I'm sure I could learn something new from him.

So you see how hot chicks can lead to awesome entertainment since I wouldn´t have known about the show with the hot picture. I´ve seen the first six episodes and it´s pretty funny and thanks to Six there are really hot situations even if you never get full nudity. Captain Chode is like a cross between Bender and a horny Guy Gardner and always looking for instant gratification. Here are some clips but you can find many more on youtube :
