| 45945 | Greatest TV episodes | <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/474x/2d/dc/a7/2ddca7d0e308c03c42458ace9efa230f.jpg" /></p> <p>No matter how many times I'm asked this question, I always revert back to my 8 year old self and go bonkers over the Premiere Episode of "Lost in Space", from 1965. Creator Irwin Allen had a knack for making shows that absolutely rocked with 60's kids - even in glorious black & white!</p> <p>That scene with the Robot trying to destroy the Jupiter 2 was beyond awesome in 1965. The Robot's goal was to knock out the cabin pressure control module and create a breach in the ship's hull. The fun part was watching Guy Williams, as "John Robinson", fall down repeatedly in a most embarrassing, and funny, way!</p> <p>Remember, Guy Williams had just signed with 20th Century-Fox after his work for Walt Disney as, "Zorro", from 1957 to 1961. Seeng the swashbuckeling, fencing champ, Guy Williams fall like a clumsy oaf was simply unforgettable!</p> <p>Another aspect of this scene - the space suits are made of the same bright silver, heavy, material as fire suits. Under the powerful incandesent studio lighting, it was very, very hot on the set. June Lockhart said once everyone was in costume - it was like trying to act inside an oven!</p> <p>And speaking of ovens - this scene had to be taken in one shot. The man inside the robot suit was being cooked alive every minute he was on camera! </p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/70EpUfpW_TQ" width="560"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e3/f1/70/e3f1708a0ca4b34b9a00556fb62a051e.png" /></p> | eddstarr | Aug 17, 2020 | |

| 45943 | Hello...again. | <p>Vaporman, Things have been okay. I've been working mostly, teaching, etc. I had a new book published since I was last around (<em>Greetings from Moon Hill</em>) a short story collection with heavy Halloween themes. I wrote a new novel last year and am currently shopping it around to agents, hoping for the best. My first novel (<em>Soundtrack ot the End of the World</em>) has since been released as an audiobook and is being reprinted by a new publishing house this fall. And of course I've had lots of different sculpture sales in my shop. My brother is currently upgrading/redesigning my webpage too, which is cool.<br /> <br /> Benjanime, Sorry you missed it. I do still have the mold somewhere I think. I don't have any resin on hand, but if there was enough interest in another run of the Halloween Photog Smurf, I could always make a few more. </p> | onipar | Aug 17, 2020 | |
| 45942 | Last Movie You Watched | <blockquote> <p>Do you watch the show? If so, is it as good as people say?</p> </blockquote> <p>I actually did watch the whole series a few years ago. Interstingly, the only reason I did was because a group of villains called "The Gentlemen" were supposed to be really creepy. And sure, I could have just watched the episodes with them in it, but I figured I might as well go all in.<br /> <br /> I have mixed feelings about the show. It's pretty "teeny bopper" usually, with a lot of those teen soap opera moments you'd expect, but it has it's good moments too. I liked it enough that I was able to watch the whole series, though I didn't have the stomach to watch the Angel spinoff. </p> <p>Not sure if that's an endorsement or not. :-p</p> | onipar | Aug 17, 2020 | |

| 45940 | DS9 | <p>Every week I'm caught up in the online war over Star Trek and what has happened to the franchise. In my opinion, the entertainment industry has run out of science fiction fans that spend most of their time with the printed page.</p> <p>Gene Roddenberry, like his contemporaries, were graduates from The Golden Age of Sci-Fi, the 1930's through the 1960's. By the time I came along in 1957, the wonderful world of radio sci-fi dramas was dissapperaing fast.</p> <p>In 1999, National Public Radio (NPR), re-broadcast a series of the most popular Sci-Fi dramas from the late 1940's to the 1950's, and I was blown away by how excellent the storytelling was.</p> <p>By contrast, television in the 1960's was actually a rather poor medium for science fiction because of the, "Bonanza Effect". Remember, for NBC, the network that ran Bonanza for 14 seasons, the "formula western" was the gold standard for television entertainment. All sci-fi shows, including Star Trek, were molded by the networks into "cowboys in space" regardless of the objections from creators like Gene Roddenberry.</p> <p>While Bonanza poisioned the minds of TV executives in the 60's - Star Wars has poisioned the minds of Hollywood today, except todays creators never experienced the vast possibilities of radio sci-fi. Both Star Wars and Star Trek have become cliche shortcuts for poorly organized writers and management that doesn't care to review the final product before distribution.</p> <p>Gene Roddenberry wasn't perfect but he was from that generation who grew up in an era of wonderful stories performed by some of the 20th century's most talented actors. That classroom no longer exists.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vPGz7Lb5eBU" width="560"></iframe></p> | eddstarr | Aug 17, 2020 | |
