Comments on: “White Dwarf” http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/07/31/white-dwarf/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Or some variant there of? It's so much I didn't remember until you said it (wrote it)!

I really rather felt let down that this movie didn't develop legs. It was both a bit of country and rock and roll squished into a technological drama. I'd like to throw in my own idea of what this reminds me of, Stephen King's The Dark Tower Series though the anime/movie hasn't made it out the gate yet does also show a promise of what this pilot could have created. And also thanks Xrey, Tim and Valid Grooves for your tips on purchasing DVD's of this movie. I do believe I will be making a purchase soon. I too have been searching on and off for years for any info on where I could find this movie. Contrary to popular belief this movie was damn good despite its shortcomings in both science and plot.

Watched the movie myself and think they did a great job introducing likable characters in a short space of time. The picture quality is fine and makes for great viewing. Most reviews refer to it as a minor gem and i would go with that, very enjoyable. chris Hi
