Editor for Three If By Space. Tom first became interested in science fiction & science as a very young child thanks to his parents. His earliest memories of enjoying scifi were sitting with his dad watching first-run episodes of the original Star Trek. Although a rabid fan of nearly all forms of scripted television, some of Tom’s favorite shows are Firefly, Falling Skies, Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, the X-Files and all versions of both Star Trek and Stargate. He also has a particular love for British television and dearly hopes to one day visit the UK.

Highlighting the Beauty of Dark Matter’s Visual Effects
There was a time, not too long ago, when really convincing visual effects were only seen in high profile, big budget films. And even then there would often be a shot or two that just missed the mark and failed to be very convincing. Even today this happens, and there’s usually nothing to do after […]
