I'm not a big reader of science fiction," Bruce Wagner admits. The writer and executive producer of Wild Palms, 1993's trippy TV movie, found inspiration for his latest show from the covers of sci-fi novels. That explains the suits of armor, dungeons, and reptilian prison wardens in White Dwarf, produced under the guidance of Francis Ford Coppola for Fox TV. The plot centers on an earthling doctor who goes to work on the planet Rusta, where one side is always in light, the other in darkness. The people living on the bright side are straight out of Little House on the Prairie. Their counterparts on the dark side relieve stress by terrorizing the good people. Wagner calls it "coming of age in the Milky Way."
