Is there someone who would be willing to tape battlestar gallactica for me. I no longer have cable. This is the new Sci Fi channel TV series of fourteen episodes. I have the four hour miniseries and episodes "33/Water" (2 hrs) aired on Jan 14, and "Bastille Day" (1 hr) aired on Jan 21.
My taping contacts have become unreliable.
YES! Dad's always been a big sci-fi fan so I saw a lot of that stuff growing up!
Wow...what a thread. You're like the triangle of thread! lol, Gonna take me half my morning to read it all! Thanks Galz.
Great Thread.
My favorite: Independence Day
Because:
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs was a Marine, Will Smith, the first hero, was a Marine, the fighters were Marine Corps F/A-18s out of Marine Corps Air Base El Toro, and the other hero, Jeff Goldblum, was an MIT Ph.D.
The aliens were all ugly and communist.
It was my view of the world.
Oh yes Space 1999 aired first with Martin Landau and his wife in the fall of 1972. It was a hoot but had to watch it.
What's Sci-Fi????????
See you all tomorrow!!!
Have a good night everyone.
Firefly
The mini-series: "V" This one was about the reptilian "benefactors" who were stealing the Earth's water, vacuum sealing humans and, through one, impregnating a young woman. Fortunately the human/alien child saved the day and the evil Diane had to go back eating mice rather than humans. This one also featured an endearing half-witted alien (Willie) who was played by the actor who did Freddie Kruger.
You know MoJo once I start woring my way thru the replys here it's almost impossible to leave to check for pings to other message postings much less what's up on the forum. But, hey that's what makes it so much fun.
Oh yeah!! Cool!
It was my view of the world."
Don't forget the best part - the vicarious Clinton White House got vaporized. That show came out during krinton's reign and the movie theater I was in nearly went wild when the WH got hit. Now, I'll grant you that the movie hero was President/pilot/Marine, but the subtext in the audience was that it was krinton that was getting wiped out as the cat-calls made it plain.
P.S. My favorite is Howard Hawk's 'The Thing' with James Arness in his first role as the alien carrot man.
Ah yes a young Leslie Nielson.
Best. sci-fi. evar.
Night Gabz.
Thanks for the link -- I was asking myself "Nold?"
