This time around we’re mostly looking forward to the release of “Torchwood” in January, though we’ll see some fantasy favorites as well, such as the third season of the haunting “Beauty and the Beast.” There aren’t too many true scifi releases coming soon, but the second season of “SeaQuest DSV” is here already and the fourth season of “Sliders” is coming—unfortunately, I think both those shows jumped the shark before these particular seasons happened.

Keep an eye out in March for the DVD release of SciFi Channel’s “Wizard of Oz” adaptation, “Tin Man.” Mostly, though, animated shows dominate the list of sci-fi related DVDs slated for release. One highlight is the 40th anniversary DVD of “Thunderbirds” (although frankly this marionette-animated series always freaked me out). Another is the return of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Who, that lived through the ‘80s, can’t summon up the battle cry: “By the power of Greyskull”?
