Somehow this poster made me think instead of John Colicos guest starring appearance, with Barry Morse (of Space 1999 fame) in the appalling 1973 ‘The Starlost’ episode ‘The Goddess Calabra.
How an episode credited to Ursula LeGuin, on a show conceived by Harlan Ellison and with Brian Aldiss as science consultant could be so truly bad is one of the enduring questions of this show.
It’s still a cult classic though.
No Contest (1995)
You know what? No Contest is okay. Sure it’s a very blatant in taking it's inspiration from Die Hard but scratches the itch and does a few things rather well that honestly surprised me.

#StarTrek 28 (1967) - 10/10
Profound.
1️⃣ Written by #GeneLCoon, with #JohnColicos as the Klingon leader.
2️⃣ It’s a remarkable script. For most of the runtime, you have to admire the Klingons almost as much as the Federation. But, by the end, you see both of them in a less favourable light.
3️⃣ The foreshadowing surrounding the planet’s native population adds a constant sense of mystery/menace, even though our actual focus is on our heroes predicament and their enemies.
#MissionImpossible 113 (1970) - 10/10
Superb. Again.
1️⃣ Terrific episode for Dana. And for #LesleyAnnWarren. The b-story finds Dana captured. She must think on her feet to escape, selling a con within a con, and Warren is simply stellar.
2️⃣ This is one of those wonderful scripts where the team completely recreate reality around their mark. In this case, the villain (#JohnColicos) believes he has been in a plane crash and is now trapped on an island with escaped prisoners. It’s gripping stuff.
