The original: The Quatermass Experiment on BBC, a live miniseries in 1953 with no permanent record of the bulk of the broadcast. Proving ground of Nigel Kneale, the Rod Serling of the UK.

Best 10 sci-fi TV shows of ‘70s—Space.com
Fine list. Choices increased after Star Wars as Hollywood had a hard time denying sci-fi’s popularity.

90-year anniversary of Bride of Frankenstein. Good article describing how this movie cemented Hollywood sequels and franchises—today’s dominant strategy.

70-year-anniversary of Conquest of Space, George Pal’s follow-up to When Worlds Collide and The War of the Worlds. Box office disappointment restricting Pal’s future budgets and ambitions. Good assessment of movie. Depressing plot and tiresome comic relief. Ambitious special effects (judged a bit harshly in this review.)

Good overview of Torment Nexus concept. In the end, sci-fi doesn’t teach people to be evil. It simply amplifies today’s evil with tomorrow’s technology.

Back to the cautionary tales from Star Trek TOS. Do not retrieve the ancient satellite. Do NOT re… Oh, never mind.
