Four More Outsides In

ATB Publishing have announced for more volumes of Outside In.

I say announced, they've posted this image of four quarters of four photos from four different TV shows.

Clockwise from top left, they are: The X-Files, Babylon 5, Twin Peaks and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

My guesses for titles are: Outside In Wants To Believe, Outside In's Last Best Hope For Peace, Outside In's Damn Fine Coffee and Outside In Through The Wormhole respectively.

I'm hoping to be a part of all of these.

I wrote this for Hero Collector. I've always been fascinated by time loop episodes on TV. My wife hates time loop episodes on TV.

Sadly, as a result of writing this, I've had to subject her to several of them.

B'Elanna was the one taken by the Caretaker from Chakotay's ship, because he thought she might have what he needed. Maybe some of her DNA was left aboard the dreadnought from her earlier visit and that's why he transported it into the Delta Quadrant.

Do you not accept, though, that making it paper inside and out it gives the appearance of being 100% paper and is likely to be wrongly recycled, when in fact you have made the entire thing, paper and all, 100% UNrecycleable? It's just pretending to be environmentally friendly. https://t.co/Qsc6qWPKPi

Outside In Takes A Stab Episode Revealed

My contribution to Outside In Takes A Stab is called First Among Equals and concerns the opening episode of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer's seventh and final season, Lessons.

The episode sees a death in Istanbul, Xander helping to reconstruct Sunnydale High School and Buffy embarrassing Dawn during her first day there, Willow recuperating with Giles in England. Back at school the Summers girls encounter vengeful spirits and a mad Vampire with a soul in the basement. Once again, that's not really what I've written about at all.

The final scene reintroduces the First, the Big Bad for the season. First Among Equals focusses on that last scene and boasts an exclusive behind the scenes look at the production of the episode. I guarantee you've never heard this anywhere else.

Outside In Takes A Stab is available here.
