I guess I just forgot how ugly cars in the 80's could be. I'm probably influenced too much by the movies and my brain simplifies it a bit. Old Bond drives the DB5 and newer bond I imagine something like the car above an executives car and bit bland but modified. I don't think I would imagine the...

Oh no is that what a Saab looked like back then. I had images of something more like this: Something solid and a bit sporty. I thought watching that clip that the car had broken down when it arrived.

So back to that theme tune. I don't think it helps that when he sings "To the Shore" he is really out of tune. Gets better after that though. Some nice images of generally space things, sets the mood I guess. The shows so far appears to have a space plot and an earth plot for each episode. I...

I completely forgot about this thread. I wondered why I had a few Bond books in my read list. I've finally read some Fleming Bond. I think I put it off for years believing as I'd seen the movies so often that it would have ruined the books but how mistaken I was. Really enjoyed Casino Royale. I...

I read an excellent series of books called the Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell. It tries to present what space battles would be like given the immense speeds that would be involved. Things like fleets arriving into a system would be able to see the layout of the system for several hours before the...

I don't mind special effects that aren't great and I realise that the quality will vary throughout a show. The strange thing (and I'm not going to keep going on about it I swear) is that your intro is the thing everyone sees every week. I would have thought it would be where you would spend a...

It will be interesting what in universe method they use. We hear them say "set time distort" it's not clear what that means. Is time distorted for the people on board so that the 8 months goes by in days. This would fit more with what we see and would solve the Jenna hair produce problem (and...

So as I have a little free time I thought I would get on with episode two. So first of all a little model work. I always like models in sci-fi, from Red Dwarf to Doctor Who it usually looks good and I love it when they do little things to make it look authentic, like radar dishes spinning. The...

It is a particulary good example of CSO. A lot of it was horrible with "Fringing" where the division between the real image and the projected was very rough. I looked for this as an example, but it doesn't look as bad as I remember. A very comprehensive reply :emoji_grin:

Yeah they could have had him getting out a box and then cso on the news report. I'm thinking like they did in Revenge of the Cybermen 0.47 in this video. Or even get the box out then zoom in on the screen to cover it isn't even transmitting.

Ok the theme tune At first I hated it. It reminded me so much of that theme tune. Both feel completely out of place. But then on watching it again I started to quite like the song. I don't think it suits the show and a better one probably could have been found but now at least I like it. I...

That did get me thinking. Tel seems confident that with enough evidence it will "blow the lid of the whole thing". That would seem to suggest that he at least believes there is justice to be found and that the whole system isn't corrupt. It isn't clear at this point as Mad-Pac says if this is a...

Ok so straight off the bat we have the intro. The theme tune is epic, inspiring and sinister. The images we see, a dome, a pixel image of someone in pain, I think a camera and then a trooper shoots us before a face appears with eliminate below it. All very interesting and tie in nicely with a...

Good timing to do this with Big Finish releasing audiobooks later in the year. They are usually good I've enjoyed the Sapphire and Steel, The Omega Factor and The Prisoner ones.

This looks really interesting. It made me think of the movie Rope by Hitchcock with that single room approach (though single apartment in the movie). Gonna seek out this one, Thank you.

Right 1 donut down and it's episode 2. We get some foreshadowing with the mentioning of Cooper's former partner. I assume that he suffered a breakdown after the previous murder to tie all this together. It would be interesting new element to introduce. I was a bit confused at the Horne...

Right I have been absent for a while, a combination of work, being away and then forgetting how I logged into this site. I've got 3 weeks to get through so I'm gonna be seeing circular saws in my sleep after today. The opening scenes are some of the most infuriating I have every experienced...

I too vote go to season 2. I'd like to know who killed Laura Palmer.

Yeah the palm probably is more common but that's probably even worse with all the tendons there. Can they not just spit on their hands, is that not enough :emoji_grimacing:

Just musing over the intro credits, as both Josie and Catherine's actors get the "and" credit with it stating who their characters were. I always thought this was for either established actors who weren't the main character so I guess Piper Laurie might be that. My guess is maybe they thought...
