Reviews

The official "Fan Club", Spotlight Starman International, is still alive and well. And it's Free!

If you are a fan of the movie and the TV Show - do a search for the website.

When the series was canceled, we held major conventions at least once a year and there were many local 'mini-cons' held in different areas in the country. Including a major convention where we went to Meteor Crator, in Arizona (where Starman met his ship at the end of the movie).

Quite a few pieces of fan fiction and several music videos that have been made.

There is also information about pending DVD's of the episodes.

Blue Lights!!

Starman the movie is a very heartfelt story about two beings (one human and another alien but having had to take human form) who slowly develop a relationship from being strangers in a quest to stay alive (Starman because he will die after 3 days & Jenny who is afraid of him because who he is Ind he has the gun from the cabin) to being friends and then lovers. She had earlier told Starman that she couldn't have children. In a sign of his love for her, he gave her "a boy baby". After telling her this, he does give her then option to "stop it". She answers him by asking what is his star "so I can tell him where his father came from". In the end, when the mothers hip comes to pick the Starman up, it is apparent that Jenny is not lying when she says "Take me with you." The only reason that she feels she can continue is knowing that a part of him is still with her, growing in her belly. Having read the reviews here and as a fan of both incarnations, many questions were raised. Many of them are answered in the novelization of the movie. It goes into much greater detail about the original form of the Starman, and how come our military was able to shoot it down. If you can find the novel, buy it (mine is so tattered by now!) Personally, I do not think that it is 'religious' material at all. It really isn't a 'virgin birth' as some have said (see below)

MAJOR SPOILER HERE - the TV series: About the baby that Starman left with her, Yes the government DID find out about it. George Fox (same character from the movie) did find out that she had a baby (Scott Hayden (Jr))exactally 9 months after Starman left. From the movie (& novel), Starman says that the only genes are Jenny's & Scott's, but in our DNA there are "Blank Spaces" and it is there that he wrote information that will make it his too. Jenny and baby Scott were on the run, but she put him up for adoption when he was 3. When he was 14, his foster parents died in a car crash but he unknowingly used his sphere to save himself from it (just like Starman did to save himself & Jenny in the car crash with the gas tanker truck). Unfortunately, a report got to George Fox about the crash, and he started investigating. Scott was placed in an orphanage and was having nightmares of the crash. One night, he went to sleep with his sphere in his hand (all he knew what it was that it was a "Gift from your father") and due to these strong emotions, his mind activated it and 'called' his father(Starman). He came back and found a recently dead man and cloned a new body. The Starman & Scott went looking for Jenny who had been hiding from the government, using aliases all this time.

Starman's star is (our name for it) is Algibia - in the Sickle of Leo (from TV series episode Starscapes part 1.)

Now, sit back and eat your Dutch Apple Pie (with whipped cream) and enjoy (Just remember to use your fork!)
