And now for the dreaded words no one ever wants to hear – “We have to talk.” There’s an old cliché of a person looking over his house, or his garage, or his workspace and sighing, “I’ve got to get organized.” Well, that time has come for me. For years, I’ve been letting the clutter build up...

The show’s final episode deals with a love triangle, man, wife. and mistress. Except the mistress is a “biorob” (short for biological robot, I gather.) She is cloned from a famous video star, but her mental processes are changed so that she will just do whatever she can to please her owner...

Tonight’s episode was the classic love story. Boy meets girl. Boy marries girl. Boy cheats on girl. Girl becomes a boy. Oh wait, what? Yes, in Betaville you can change sexes back and forth on a whim if you wish. So Cleo, our female hero, becomes Leo. It’s not to spite her husband actually...

This week: KITT-Y goes berserk. Yes, this episode has a futuristic car, though not as fancy as the KNIGHT INDUSTRIES TWO THOUSAND, and with a female voice to boot. It starts out well. Our lead character Federal Police Marshall Stu Clemens spots a man robbing an ATM. He flees, but Stu isn’t...

No, it's okay. I'm all caught up now. The Saturday appointment I mentioned was unexpectedly cancelled. And as I said, the episode was great, so no harm done. Send me #11 next weekend.

I didn't see your offer right away, but if you check down last week's post, you'll see I did respond.

Well, I thought I was getting a week off here but Mad-Pac posted the next episode and sent me a copy so I managed to watch two episodes in one weekend. The good news is it was totally worth it. This episode was hands down the best episode of the series so far – a solid premise, good acting...

I wondered what that title could mean – some sort of blood-diseased individual perhaps? Turned out it was just a person’s name. Imagine that. This story had some interesting elements to it. It reminded me of “The Academy” (NIGHT GALLERY), “The Doomsday Machine” (STAR TREK) and the movie THE...

Yes, I would appreciate that very much. It's been a hectic week and I have an appointment for Saturday morning as well. So it would be great not to have to watch two episodes in one weekend. We could think of it as a midseason break. Thanks!

Well, this is hilarious in a way. Last week, my review sat there for almost a week with no activity. Now, suddenly Mad-pac has posted his review and this new episode's review. Unfortunately, weekend mornings are my best chance to watch this show, but I couldn't do it last weekend because I...

This one just didn’t work for me at all. It started with millionaire Daniel Grey who had a stable of clones that he raises strictly for their future use as organ donors. I can see the sad logic in that; it makes a ghoulish sense. But then this bozo practically advertises it, bragging about it...

Let’s start off by saying this is some of the best casting the series has had so far. Every one of the main characters was well chosen and well executed. Ice-T has the tough guy role, angry, ready to escape, wanting to buck the system. But still he shows patches of decency. Ian Tracey, his...

The title had little relevance to the story (just a location name), but at least the host’s monologue made some valid points this week, though I don’t remember his precise wording. This story is actually somewhat more real than some of the others. For one thing, I don’t find it that hard to...

As far as getting me interested in the episode, they had me at “Guest Star Roma Maffia.” I’ve long enjoyed her work. She has an exotic look to her and often plays intriguing characters. She did a documentary called “That Gal…Who Was in that Thing” where she and 4 other actresses talked about...

Excellent point. I hadn’t thought of that. By coincidence, I’ve just started watching a summer series called REVERIE which is about a futuristic VR program which people have entered and now some have gone into a coma from refusing to come out. They hire someone to go in after them using a VR...

Well, I listened to the opening this week, since I thought it might include some background on the story like it did last week, but the guy mentioned, “He’ll find out nothing is what it seems to be,” which was the crux of the twist in the story. Still, I can’t say that it spoiled it as there...

Actually, the line is even older than BLAKE'S 7. I remember doing a spoof of current TV show listings years ago and using the following for THE ROOKIES (1972-1976): "Ryker congratulates Owens on shooting a gun out of a robber's hand - until Owens admits he was aiming for his head." I had heard...

This one picks up right where last week’s episode left off, with Blake doing a ship’s log entry to remind us what happened. They are now headed toward Aristo to try to deliver the energy cells to Ensor Sr., find out what Orac is, and obtain some anti-radiation medicine as Avon and the others...

The most noticeable thing about this episode was that it wasn’t really a science fiction or even futuristic story. At its core, it was the tale of a relationship between two women who start as strangers and end up friends, and how it changes their lives. With minor tweaks, it could have been...
