History lesson. In 1998, after working on The X Files and before going to work on Angel, Tim Minear worked on a show called Strange World. This show was created by The Inside’s co-creator Howard Gordon and Heroes‘ Tim Kring.
Wikipedia gives the following plot information:
“The main character, Captain Paul Turner (Tim Guinee), is a doctor for USAMRIID suffering from Gulf War Syndrome: a rare form of aplastic anemia contracted from chemical weapon exposure during the Persian Gulf War. USAMRIID lures him out of his sickbed with the opportunity to bring justice to others suffering from unethical uses of scientific discoveries and resulting technologies. Unknown to his superiors, he is given a temporary cure for the symptoms of his disease by a mysterious woman who is an agent of a shadowy organization that may be trying to thwart the goals of USAMRIID. He requires periodic doses of the cure to remain functional, a weakness that the shadowy organization occasionally uses to control him. Both the machinations of the “shadowy organization” and Turner’s dependency on the “cure” are ultimately resolved in the final episode of the series.”
The point of this? It has come to my attention that once upon a time when Tim started pushing for The Inside to be released on DVD, it was to be done as a double release with this series as he had a lot of involvement in it. The series was full on genre and although I haven’t personally seen it to recommend it, I am interested in watching it. So if you’re also interested in seeing Strange World released alongside The Inside mention it when you contact 20th Century Fox at the following:
