HaHaHaHa Love it! I can't imagine any of the kids at my school in that era even admitting to watching Blakes 7 outside of a few nerds let alone be playing it! I never saw Gan's death coming either, Nowadays we would have been told months in advance too! JB

You're so right, Doctor! We all make mistakes in literacy agreed but errors are now making their way into texts for DVDs, novels and especially magazines, which is terrible considering how being correct was beaten into most of us when we were kids back in the day! There, They're, Their is the...

Funny isn't it how actors, once the lowest job you could have in this country or any other is now the most prized and the financial rewards are ridiculously exorbitant! Can you imagine actors of today even forced to work for the paltry sums of £300 a week and left physically and mentally spent...

Space 1999 with it's melancholy music, classic effects and slightly depressing stories laced with just enough action and explosives to keep the interest! The first series made the base look a very scary but warm place to live while the second series made me think that every day was a party and...

As stated by Gary Mitchell in WNMHGB back in 66 how Kirk always had his head in a book! It's true that todays style of film is at odds with us older fans view of shows like Doctor Who, Star Trek and Star Wars! It's like they think that the big explosions and the blasting allows for the lack of...

Yuck! That film looks a bit chewy to me! JB

David Bradley is a comparable actor but his claim to fame within Who circles is his facial similarity to William Hartnell's Doctor! His voice was wavering rather than Hartnell's stern and snapping! I think he was a lot better in the 2013 An Adventure in Time And Space to be honest! JB

I've been reading on other forums how people keep wanting to put the original series of Space 1999 into a defined order! In other words, Breakaway must be followed by Earthbound and soon after Dragon's Domain and Voyager's Return due to the stories dealing with aliens going to earth and previous...

I remember the first and second times I saw this show on the BBC in the seventies and I was sure it was the start of a long series but sadly not! JB

This must be before his acts of defiance with the freedom party got him noticed as a subversive by the Federation! Strange that Blakes 7 must be the only sci-fi show where the main characters never went back or forward into time as well! JB

I wish we still had the second series of this great series! The identity of The Face and his appearance in Black Echo for instance seems to be at odds with the first episode, A Slight Case of Reincarnation plus how did The Face gain a mechanical hand in the final episode of the series? And...

I remember when Star Wars was called Star Wars and didn't have the subtitle of A New Hope, which sort of sounds like it's being put into it's place rather than the initial blockbuster and best in the series, for me anyway! The series has gone down in my estimates film by film, although Phantom...

I remember his friend, the spider faced monster, who seemed to be wearing Commander Koenig's orange jacket from various Space 1999 episodes! I did think they were a creepy pair though! RIP JB

I've always maintained that The Valeyard must have been born when the Tennant Doctor diverted the regenerational energy into his hand rather than change his entire body! Somewhere on the spiritual plane a Doctor was created and resented losing his chance to exist so went back in time to take...

I remember Shatner on the promotional stuff for Star Trek V I think, where introduces Walter Koenig as the guy who plays ensign Chekov and Koenig then sorts of winces and says his name, Walter koenig as Shatner trundles off to speak to someone else! I always thought that was a weird way to speak...

Hasn't David Gautreux got a love/hate relationship with Trek fans even to this day? JB

Apparently the suits didn't think that George could act and that's why a Captain Sulu series was dead in the water before it was even discussed! TUC is a great end for the adventures of the original crew and sadly we have to say goodbye to Uhura, whom we never see or hear of again! This movie...

Malachi Throne and the great Leonard Nimoy as Spock return to Trek and although the second episode was filmed first to accommodate Mr.Nimoy it's probably not as exciting as it could be but it's still Trek's version of The Three Doctors I'd say! JB

Mark Richman, a staple of sci-fi actors from the sixties makes his only appearance in Trek here in this episode! I find it really strange that he was never in the original series as another Captain or alien leader! JB

Jonathan Frakes mentions Kirk here in this episode and does the same in Generations but oddly never gets to meet the great man in the flesh! JB
