Ah that'll be "Space: Above and Beyond" I know I watched it all when it first turned up on TV but I have mixed memories as to whether it was any good or not. I think they had some decent plot ideas but most of the characters were just anoying.

Steamed

And eternal respect for the nerd..... errr...... the cool people.

She's "Maria" from Metropolis (1927) groundbreaking work especially with the transformation effects

Loved Battlestar Galactica although I think the ending was just plain wrong and disappointing.

Had some hotties in it

Post by **digger303** » Thu Apr 18, 2019 12:21 pm

Farscape
Stargate
Firefly
Star trek including deep space nine and enterprise
Torchwood

Are my top tv series in the Si-Fi line.

Yep the ending of both the original and the reboot left a bit to be desired

And sorry but I went back and added an extra hotty after your quote

Hmmm...

Firefly & Farscape would definitely be on my list too and most Star Treks (the exceptions being DS9 and Voyager - both of whose cast just annoyed me)

I never really got into Stargate or Torchwood so what would I replace them with...

Babylon 5 would probably be in there

And I'm still a fan of the Gerry Anderson series like UFO and Space 1999 although both are showing their age and of course Battlestar Galactica in both forms...

I hope I can be excused a little self-indulgence this morning as this lady has always been my favourite companion and definitely a schoolboy crush. Sadly taken too early from us on this day in 2011

And just to balance it out this has always been my favourite Doctor and favourite villain

Definitely agree with you on the Doctor and companion, although, for me, it was always the cybermen that got me diving for the back of the sofa!

That’s my favourite Dr who. And she was probably one of the best companions.

And that would be “Jason of Star Comand”

Those of us over 40 would vaguely know that one and one of the few things James Doohan
Did after Star Trek T.O.S

Digger I do so agree it’s you on this one! We never did like the ending or the redo. Sad

Modelfreek you remember this quote? “Warning Warning Will Robinson!” LOL. I actually watched the series

Ah yes I remember now - wasn't there Dragos as the villain (with some sort of laser eye-patch thing?)

I always got it mixed up with something else in my fuzzy memory - Star Fleet? That was puppets though I think.

This was "Moon Zero Two" released in 1969 from Hammer Films who were better know for their horror movies. This one was set in 2021 and the moon was colonised so that only gives us a couple of years to get our act together!

Hopefully this one will be easier to recognise and for me is the best of the movies in this particular franchise...

Hmmm... now when I saw this in the way back I was sure it was called "Return of the Jugger" but having had a quick check this morning it looks like it was probably "Salute of the Jugger"... I definitely didn't see it as "Blood of Heroes"

All that's assuming that I've got the right movie

Your are correct sir! That is indeed salute of the jugger. Aside from blade runner and blind fury one on my fav Rutger Hauer movies.

All kidding aside, there has been action behind the scenes preparing for the sig
I have just bought two kits for prizes this weekend and there are four others readying in the wings

There will be two "Door Prize" draws open to everyone except me....one for those that start their build thread and one for those that complete their build on time.
Matthew's genius has suggested we let the three placement winners actually pick what prize they want from our offerings in order of 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
That is brilliant. Those prizes are to be determined.

Look for the sig thread to pop up in June when I ask Paul for the Access Gate to be opened
I joked I have kept this sig a bit more low key and I really have. There were over 50 entries in the Busty Bomber Build and about half those finished, many didn't even bother to start. So this sig is Focused on ISM forum blokes/blokettes and I am not broadcasting it out to unreliable FB yahoos, no mention from me on the live shows or anything like that this time.

All is well, in the meantime...
