Keef Endersons 2013 list / SF movie adaptations

[mary sullivan]

For the fun of it, or maybe torture, I guess for my sicence fiction
knowledge base I will probably watch Space 1999, till it's eith too
ridiculous, or we can't stand it any more.  If I disappear without warning
for over a week you may want to have a Hawkfriend check out my sanity after
watching the show.  I will only watch it if it's free.

That one was very ropey. My fave was "Survival" where Straker and Foster are
downed on the lunar surface and helped by an alien.

It's a shame that series two was resurrected as Space 1999 - a show with an
awful premise which quickly metamorphosed into Lost In Space 2 with
obligatory scary monsters. The only two espisodes of that I liked was the
Sargasso Space Monster one with the Albinoni score and the one where Simmons
won the lottery to go back to Earth.
