It looks like Syfy is turning their usual New Year’s Zone marathon up to 11. They are playing every episode of the series in order starting Wednesday. Even the hour long fourth season which is often skipped. Talky Tina says you better not miss it! 🙂 ---

Damn, my favorite episode was either the first or second ever shown, I’ll be at work. “One For the Angels”☹ ---

I think Robert Hays studied “Black Leather Jackets” to learn how to play an alien awkwardly pretending to be human before he played Starman. ---

I never saw the series, my work schedule at the time precluded watching TV. I don’t even remember knowing about the series, had to look up the dates. ---

Eh. Netflix and hulu plus has every episode as far as I know, so I’m not too excited. I am excited about the Friday the 13th marathon. ---
