The sub-titles to define the essence of the book: authoritative, magnificently, opinionated (stout?). That of "magnificently" something exaggerated, (maybe correct: abundant). The book is a wide itinerary for the first 50 years of the science fiction in the television. They are abundant the anecdotes, bizarre data and rarities, (but, for the beginners). The experts know about these items, but, not of all shows. The chapters are: Introduction, (remembering to Serling Rum, Gene Roddenberry); 1 The world of Sci Fi TV, (from Captain Video to Gerry Anderson and Star Trek); 2 Enter The Twilight Zone, (the highlights and tragedy of Rod Serling and the resurrection of show in the '80); 3 From Inner mind to outer limits, (monsters and make-up in the sixty); 4 Emergency! Lost in space, (the comedy arrives to the science fiction), 5 Where not man. Star Trek, (the show that show the measure); 6 Gothic Soap: Dark Shadows, (the true television epic), 7 Number Six: The Prisioner, (a inusual story could be captative), 8 SF Holocaust: V, ( the epic holocaust to the final resistance, final, final), 9 SF Romance: Beauty [and] Beast [the], (a romantic obsessive novel); 10 The Next Generation of Star Trek, (somebody said: not going to work and work seven years); 11 Taking to Quantum Leap, (another try); 12 To Trek different: Deep Space Nine, (Star Trek after dying Rodenberry), 13 SF Failures: Space: 1999 and Battlestar Galactica, (the producers and the audience is not the same). In the chapters is interesting the stories of main players and of their characters. Also see like an actor repeat and recycle in different shows.
