Fan Interview with Jamie Waese (2013)
In 2013, Ranger-Nova came into contact with Jamie Waese, a creative executive who oversaw writing and storyboards on Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and interviewed him. As the interview was posted on the fan forum To Infinity and Fandom and never officially posted on any news sites, I've reposted it here with Ranger-Nova's permission for two reasons: to make sure a copy of it survives in case the forum host ever shuts down, and to make referencing it for wiki articles easier in case the former ever happens.
What exactly did your job entail?
My title was Manager of Current Programming, which meant that I was a creative executive at Walt Disney TV Animation. My job entailed keeping a creative eye on the production on behalf of the company, and re…
Fan Interview with Tad Stones (2011)
In 2011, I made a Buzz Lightyear of Star Command forum called To Infinity and Fandom. Around the same time, a friend and I got into contact with Tad Stones, one of the show's executive producers. He agreed to an interview, so we asked the then-active members of our forum to submit any questions they had. We combed through their submissions, combining whatever questions sounded similar and discarding those that were too specific, eventually narrowing the list down to 25 questions.
As this is a fan interview that was never officially posted on any news sites, and was only ever posted on a fan forum, I've reposted it here for two reasons: to make sure a copy of it survives in case the forum host ever shuts down, and to make referencing it for wik…
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command Stories: How Evil Buzz became evil
In this blog post, I explain my perspective on how Buzz Lightyear (alternate universe) became evil, so here we go.
Buzz Lightyear had it all. He was well respected and he was invited to every party in the galaxy. All because he continuously defeated Evil Emperor Zurg.
But there was one problem. He was delusional. He believed that Zurg was behind every cat stuck up a tree. So one day, he snapped and went insane with delusion. He was vulnerable to someone called Wotso O’Carlson telling him wrong information and thus targeting the wrong people believing they were “agents of Zurg.”
Wotso O’Carlson only existed in the alternate universe and was the boss at National Accident Helpline, a company on Planet Z that specialises in creating accidents. Th…

New Poll ideas?
Just an idea, the poll on the home page was up for a while, maybe something else should be put up.
Here's my ideas so far
- Who's your favorite villain?
- Which of the following species would you rather be? (don't list human as an option, just to keep things interesting)
- Which character would you like to have seen more often in the show? (minor characters, such as Fop Doppler or Ozma Furbanna)
- Which of the following planets would you want to live on most?
Anyone else agree we should have a new poll?
Episode online?
Does anyone know where ll the episodes can be found online (and watched without being downloaded)? That would help with the wiki and....well, only a few episodes are on Youtube. It would be nice to find the episodes again.
Buzz Lightyear of Star Commanding Returning
Will Buzz Lightyear of Star Command ever return with more new seasons and episodes? I liked that show and missed it when it was cancelled in 2001! Hopefully, they will bring it back someday with more episodes to watch!
Editors
So, I'm curious. Does anyone want to pitch in and help us edit the wiki? I've noticed we've been getting a lot of lurkers lately, but out of all you guys, does anyone feel like chipping in and helping?
Let us know!
New Poll of the Moment?
I was just thinking that we've had the "Favorite Character" poll up for so long, it's about time we change it to something else. The only question is, change it to what?
Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on what our next poll should be?
Comments
Since we've had a number of people abuse the comments section in the past, I thought it would be a good idea to post a reminder of what the comments section at the end of each article is (and isn't) for:
It is NOT a place to post inappropriate remarks, make inane observations (someone wrote a post awhile back pointing out all the times we saw Booster in his underwear on the show - seriously?), provide false information about the show and/or pretend to be one of the creators (we had someone do this too once), post links to unrelated websites or any other form of self-advertisement, post about anything that does not in some way relate to the show, or make pointless comments (such as telling us something extremely obvious like, "Warp used to w…
Episode Errors
The Episode pages now have a section for Errors.
This section is to list the animation or continuity errors that occur in episodes. For example, this animation error occurs in "Mira's Wedding":
- In one frame, Buzz can be seen with no eyes on his face!
Furthermore, "Revenge of the Monsters" has this continuity error:
- Despite being an episode from Season One, this episode directly references the episode "Wirewolf", a Season Two episode.
Any other such errors of these types should be added to the Errors section of the episode they are found in. For example, do not mention the aforementioned continuity error in "Wirewolf" since the error is only seen in "Revenge of the Monsters".

The Globe Online Article
Check out this article derived from the The Globe Online newspaper! It looks like someone is a fan of the show. This is an opinion piece, yes, but it is worth mentioning that the show was brought up in an article. Check it out for yourself!

Listing Episodes
Although there is only one accepted way of listing episode titles in articles, I keep seeing several forms of listing used:
"The Torque Armada"
The Torque Armada
The Torque Armada
The first is the correct way of listing episodes, as explained in the manual of style, but it seems that some people are either unaware of this, or occasionally forget. That's understandable (I do it too sometimes), but would everyone please try to keep the listing consistent? If you are creating an article, give the episodes the proper formatting, and if you come across an incorrectly listed episode, edit it or tell me and I'll edit it.
This doesn't apply to the episodes listed in the "Appearances" section of character articles, by the way.
Thanks!
Episodes on Youtube
Hello, again! Just wanted to let you all know that RadioFreePlanetZ is uploading episodes on Youtube. "The Torque Armada" is actually subtitled, too! So if anyone was wondering where they could get to see the series, wonder no more!
Unfortunately, this is how we'll have to make do with watching the series until it's released on DVD.
