Thanks for posting this episode. I had no luck finding it on YouTube or elsewhere. One YouTube address had series 1 listed, but when I tried to play episode 2, I got a message saying it had been withdrawn. But your post played fine. This episode picks up right where the prior one left off...

I’ll spare you the saga of the problems I was having with the Smartcast feature this week, but I managed to get the show watched using YouTube on my TV. It was reminiscent of MY FAVORITE MARTIAN and shows of its kind, and being dated in 1969, fit right into the same timeframe. Back then, on...

Good gravy! What was the big hurry? We used to have a two week break in between shows, now we just finished voting and bang - first episode posted already. I wasn't expecting such a rush, so I haven't even had time to watch it yet. I'll try to watch as soon as possible.

This week Gan’s inhibitor chip goes haywire causing him to attack his fellow crew members. Kind of ironic that something made to keep him from becoming violent ends up having exactly the opposite effect. Some of the fight seemed a little like pantomime and the heavy objects that are swung at...

Star Cops - By the Numbers I'm glad I waited a little longer before posting this. I not only got Clositer56's rating for the last episode, but Gavin also completed his rankings on the remainder of the episodes. So now, without further ado: Fellow Sages of the Single Season here are the...

Blake’s mission takes him to a distant cold planet (with minus 121 degrees for 8 years at a time) to help Resistance leader Avalon escape in order to continue her work. But she is captured by Travis before he gets there and her fellow Resisters gunned down in a scene reminiscent of the pilot...

The first thing that struck me about the story was the similarity to the STAR TREK episode “Arena”, which was itself based on a short story by Frederic Brown, a sci-fi author I am fond of. Granted, this one did add some additional elements like forcing the two protagonists to have a friend...

Well, it’s hard to believe we’ve reached the end of this series already. What a difference between this experience and TWIN PEAKS. There was no sense of finality as they had still intended to do one more episode but it didn’t pan out. The good news is that the series ends on a good episode...

Sorry, I am running way, way behind on this so this will have to be quick. It’s an interesting situation the 7 find when they come across a ship circling endlessly in space. It’s a mystery story, but unfortunately there are few clues and most of the suspects frankly look the same and don’t...

Someone mentioned last week that this episode would be a “bottle episode”, meaning mostly familiar locations and only a few other characters – and that was pretty much true. There wasn’t really much of a case. Someone was sabotaging the machines at the base. Hooper was a suspect, but why...

I hadn't thought about that angle on it. Perhaps I should have said, "They got it righter than most." Reminds me of an irony about that police drama I mentioned. The police team worked so hard to find the embryos, as they were the last ones produced by a couple whose husband had since died...

Another outstanding episode with all the elements I’m growing to love: Futuristic plot – Theft and ransom of baby embryos. It actually is possible in current times; may have even been a plotline in some show. (I think there was such a theft in a police drama a few years ago.) Small critique...

This one has a different feeling right from the beginning. A spaceship comes floating into view, but no one responds to hails. We see a man’s hand inside set on a control but nothing else. There’s a feeling of fear and dread as the Star Cops approach. Theroux looks in through a window and...

This episode gets off to a quick adventurous start, including one of my favorite bits of dialogue: Blake: Is Vila there? Vila: I’m ready. Blake: Jenna, put him down! Jenna: Right! (looking at Vila) Vila, you’re a jerk! Okay, that didn’t really happen but that thought occurred to me when he...

When you’ve watched as much TV as I have (probably way too much) every once in a while you come across an amazing coincidence. Like one time, my wife and I were watching VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA once a week on Sundays in order. One Sunday fell on March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, and the...

Now that the seven members of the Blake team have been revealed, the show is settling down into an episodic tone. This week, Cally is temporarily possessed by some of her planet’s super-intelligent scientists who went off on their own years before when their experiments became too controversial...

Thanks for the explanations. Now I won't be wasting time: a.) wondering if the fourth alien will show up or b.) waiting to see who the seventh member of Blake's team will be

I’m conflicted about this episode. On the one hand, it’s a redemption story, with Pal trying to prove herself to Nathan. And I like redemption stories. On the other hand, it features an American villain – a stereotypical, sexist, paranoid, crooked Texan who calls people “boy.” Obviously, that...

Looks like I was wrong about Blake already having his six team members as of last week. I could have sworn I saw more than just Vila and Oleg join him from Cygnus last week, but even if there were he could have easily dropped them off on another planet at their request. He starts out two...

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I didn't think I had that right.:emoji_rolling_eyes:
