amezriAnyone else remember an old TV movie from 1995 called White Dwarf? Neal McDonough played the lead -- a doctor from New York traveling to the planet Rusta for his internship.. or something. Paul Winfield also starred. It was like a weird fantasy version of Northern Exposure by Francis Ford Coppola. It definitely had a pilot movie sort of feel, but it never made it as a series, which is a total shame.
The first time I saw it, I thought it was the coolest thing on TV. Thinking back on it... I guess it was a little Dune/Firefly. The planet was split into a dark side and a light side (I think there was some silly fantasy science to explain that) and each side had their own princess.. I think. It's beem like 12 years. Cut me some slack.

eido on Tin Man and Neal McDonough, I totally just remembered it again and... there is no DVD for me to buy! *cries* Old VHS copies on Amazon, though, for insane prices I would pay. This morning, I took a look on eBay and found a cheaper copy of the original VHS release for less, so I snagged that. The same search brought up the Thai bootleg DVD that some people have gotten and it was actually a really reasonable price, so I got that too XD PAL, with optional Thai subtitles (the seller has 3 copies left if, uh, anyone is interested). Yeah, whatever, I'm all over it.
I'm hoping I will be able to get the VHS transfered to DVD as it seems to be a longer cut than the Thai bootleg anyway.
