Nasa unveils next steps to build permanent Moon base https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c39228nxyr4o
The amount of model work in this series is amazing. And it seems like the writing does pick up a little in the 2nd season (I'm just on the 2nd episode, though).
Heh! The other side of the Atlantic from #TheLexx and #Farscape. (-:
Since this started out as an evening for @bytebro I rather had in the back of my mind the assumption that xe already knew about #StarCops, #Space1999, #TheTripods, #TheTomorrowPeople (Thames version), #TheTriffids (BBC version), and #Blakes7.
And #Torchwood is just across the โฆ erm โฆ tip of my tongue โฆ named after something โฆ Gulf Of Wales from Brizzle.
I'm not sure whether an evening of #TheSarahJaneAdventures would be @bytebro's cup of tea, though. But if it is, I'd then add #LightningPoint/ #AlienSurfGirls to the list.
Well, well. Episode 25 has all new titles, that I don't remember at all. I guess I have started Season 2.
I think they've upgraded their model photography a bit, too.
Oh look! Brian Blessed is back.
Joan Collins appeared on this as well as Star Trek. Took me awhile to recognize her, but her voice and line delivery are distinctive.

#Space1999 "Space Brain"
As a rule of thumb, it bodes ill when the word "brain" appears in an SF series title. ๐คจ
Ooh... foamy bubble effects incoming.
One thing I'm noticing in #Space1999 is a degree of batching of plots and effects: they get a theme and then do two or three episodes based on it together. And once they figure out a way to do certain shots, they reuse it.
The understanding of physics continues to be hilariously bad: "not even wrong" (because it doesn't make enough sense to rise to the level of mere wrongness).
Their effects and stunts have improved by episode 15 or so. I get the impression that a lot of the plots are just excuses to set these up.
Space 1999! Eagle Transporters on patrol. Following some recent black and white explorations I couldn't resist dropping the iconic Eagle into the lunar landscape. Depicted here in the brief window before the inevitable crash landing. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt #Space1999
Model by "Paul aka TheMightSpud" from the long gone and much lamented Foundation3D website where I first cut my Lightwave3d teeth.
With "The Full Circle", we are tackling the classic "cavemen vs astronauts" debate. And frankly, the cavemen are winning, because the astronauts are woefully unprepared for very predictable problems.
