TekWar (TV series)

TekWar (TV series). 1994-96 in syndication, "The Action Pack" (Alex Beaton, supervising exec.). Premiered 17 Jan. 1994. William Shatner, dir., actor, with Peter Sussman, exec. prod. USA: Atlantis Films (prod.) / Universal (in asssociation with W.I.C. Western International Communications and Lemli Productions"). Greg Evigan, star. From the Tek novels by William Shatner (see under Fiction).

See for the superimpostion of the mechanical and electronic upon the human, some nice realization of what W. Gibson and others have called cyberspace (see Gibson's Neuromancer series under Fiction), and some variations on the theme of the android and humanoid robot. Significant for bringing to the "Action Pack" series of undistinguished programming some important cyberpunk themes and paraphernalia. Note mise en scène of series premiere: it's occasionally cyberpunk urban funky but frequently green.
