Might As Well Try

Gail thinks she escaped justice on Earth, but when she wakes up in the sleep tube, she's already caught in my latest Poser picture, which you can see right here.

Note: the picture I used is from Undoing.

Logan's Run

I just recently realized that Logan's Run, the film, turns 50 this year! A half century already! When I first saw it as a boy in the theater, I instantly loved LR.

Based on the novel, Logan's Run dealt with survivors of an apocalypse who resided in comfort within this massive domed city.

Jenny Agutter co-stars as Jessica, who, feeling a bit depressed one night, puts herself on the city's version of a dating app. It teleports her directly to Logan's apartment.

Logan (Michael York), liking what he sees, basically swipes right, inviting Jenny into his home. Jenny is barefoot and clad in a skimpy outfit.

It's a very nice BF scene, making me wish that Jenny was dressed like this throughout the movie--but at least she's clad like this here.

She goes barefoot at the end, as well. You know, if the citizens of this society could just casually "beam" themselves around like this, then they could use the same tech to produce food, like they do on Star Trek.

Here's a still from a deleted moment from this scene, with Logan and Jessica playing chess. Happy 50th Birthday, Logan's Run!

Happy (a little late) Alien Day

Once again I forgot about Alien Day. Alien Day is April 26--otherwise known as 4-26, or LV-426, which is the Earth name of a rocky moon named Acheron. Acheron is the setting for the first two films in the Alien franchise (Alien and Aliens).

These vidcaps are from the movie Alien: Resurrection, the third direct sequel from the first Alien film, and the fourth starring Sigourney Weaver.

This film is set several centuries after the last Alien film, and Weaver once again plays Ellen Ripley, but this time as a clone.

In this scene, she's being examined like a test subject that she is.

But even with cuffs on her hands, she can be a hand full.

And so she's properly restrained, both hand and (bare) foot. I completely forgot about this last year, so I guess better late than never, as they say. Happy Belated Alien Day!

Babylon 5

If you haven't seen Babylon 5, you should--especially if you're a fan of science fiction. It's a very well-done and gripping SF series that manages to be epic, despite its low budget. And it also has some scenes of interest for us. In the first season episode Soul Hunter, Delenn is captured by an alien who literally wants to suck out her soul.

It turns out Delenn was barefoot when she was abducted (she was taken while relaxing in her quarters), as we see in a brief shot of her bound foot.

In Born To The Purple (also first season) Commander Sinclair and G'Kar find Londo in a strip club, where all the female performers dance BF.

Londo's girlfriend (Fabiana Udenio) also dances there, and she performs sans shoes as well.

In The Quality of Mercy (also season one) Londo takes the wide-eyed Lennier to a strip club (the same place as in Born To The Purple?), where the dancers also perform barefoot--as well as without much clothing.

There's a lot of BF scenes in Babylon 5--more so than on most other space-based SF series.

Blade Runner 2049

I thought Blade Runner 2049 was a fantastic sequel to the original Blade Runner, as well as being a masterpiece in its own right. One of the more memorable characters in 2049 is Dr. Ana Stelline, the character played by actress Carla Juri.

Suffering from a weakened immune system, Stelline is forced to spend her days in permanent isolation, where she creates memories for replicants (the android slave race that serves humans in the Blade Runner universe). A nice plus of this job is that Stelline can work in her bare feet.

She goes barefoot in every scene she has in the film.

Stelline isn't in 2049 a great deal. But the scenes she has are worth it.

Blade Runner 2049 is a great film overall. This, along with the original Blade Runner, would make for a great double feature.

Disclosure Day First Look

Steven Spielberg is back in the SF genre with his latest, Disclosure Day, a movie I didn't even know the title of until seeing the teaser trailer just a few days ago. It stars Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place 1&2) and comes out June 12, 2026. Blunt is one of my favorite actresses, and Spielberg is...well, it's Steven Spielberg directing an SF film, so I really want to see it. The teaser is very creepy, so I'm really looking forward to this.

Dollhouse Pt2

Dollhouse, while canceled way too soon after only two short seasons, still managed to wrap up its storyline.

And what we got was still great. Dollhouse was very suspenseful, with plenty of twists and turns in the storyline that were pretty shocking, including the overall ending.

But Dollhouse was also a very BF friendly show, as well. With plenty of BF scenes, both with bondage--like this one in the second season episode The Hollow Men--and scenes where they were simply just barefoot.

So if you come across this series in any way, shape, or form, it would be worth your while to check it out.

Eliza Dushku has since retired from acting, having received a Masters degree in clinical mental health counseling in 2025.

Dollhouse Pt1

Eliza Dushku (best known from Buffy The Vampire Slayer) starred in a science fiction TV series back in 2009 called Dollhouse.

She played a character named Echo, who had her original personality erased so she could become part of what was known as the Dollhouse. Everyone in the Dollhouse--both men and women--join this service as a way to get out of debt. After serving several years, they will be re-instated with their original personalities and get back to their regular lives.

The "dolls" are sent out on various missions--as sex workers, hired security, whatever--with special personalities downloaded into them that are best suited for each task (complete with the experience and know-how needed).

Of course, Echo eventually comes across the far more evil goals of the coporation that she works for (as if what they're already doing isn't bad enough).

In the second season episodes, The Public Eye, and The Left Hand, Echo is captured by a scientist played by Summer Glau (Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), who binds a barefoot Echo to an examination table.

Dollhouse had a lot of nice barefoot scenes, including BF bondage scenes like this, which was pretty lenghty. More to come in part two.

Stargate is back

I just recently heard that Stargate is coming back. The TV series (which starred Amanda Tapping as Sam Carter) was based on the Stargate movie that was released in 1994, but went far beyond the movie by creating a literal universe with SG: SG-1, SG: Atlantis, and SG: Universe.

No filming has begun yet. This is just a formal announcement. The show-runners are promising that the new series, to air on Amazon Prime, will be a new chapter in the saga. I always enjoyed Stargate and thought it was one of the more underrated of the SF shows in the past thirty years. Looking forward to seeing Stargate come back.

Stargate Universe

Stargate Universe was an SF series that originally aired on the Sci-Fi Channel back in 2009. It was part of the overall Stargate TV franchise that was begun with Stargate SG-1 (which itself was a TV adaptation of the original Stargate movie). Unfortunately, SG:U was cancelled after only two seasons.

In the first season episode, "Space", Elyse Levesque played Chloe Armstrong, who winds up getting abducted by unknown aliens and held in an interesting form of captivity.

Stripping Chloe of her clothing, she's barefoot, clad in a wetsuit-like garment and left suspended in a tank of water. She's got a scuba-type mask on which helps her to breathe.

Chloe is rescued from the tank, and winds up going barefoot during her escape attempt. You don't stop to find your shoes at a time like this.

It's a nice--if brief--BF scene that's also technically (kind of, sorta) a bondage scene. This is why I love science fiction, because it always offers a creative take on everything, including bondage scenes.

Forbidden Planet

Anne Francis stars in the classic science fiction movie Forbidden Planet, which was released in 1956.

It also had a young Richard Anderson, who would go on to be well-known as Oscar Goldman on both The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman in the 1970s.

Forbidden Planet was also said to be the inspiration for many future science fiction projects, like Star Trek and Star Wars.

And, it's also known as the movie where Anne Francis goes barefoot for the better part of its run time.

I first saw this when I was a little kid, and while I can't rightly say that it influenced me in my particular leanings, it still remains one of my all-time favorite films.

War In Space

The War In Space was a Star Wars knock off that was released by Toho studios, which produced the Godzilla films. Toho saw how well the original Star Wars movie did at the box office and tried to copy it.

The War In Space, which is another way of saying Star Wars, was released in 1977. It's very goofy, but a lot of fun.

The film's lead actress, Yūko Asano, eventually gets captured by the bad guys.

She's paraded around the adversary's base while barefoot, and clad in a sleek black outfit that exposes her legs and arms.

While Yūko's feet are never tied, there are some very nice BF shots of her walking around, regardless.

She normally wears a regular uniformed spacesuit, but her captors had her dressed in this outfit. Nice way to make her comfy.

But no worries, Yūko is rescued. All's well at the end of the war in space.
