Great to see Tomblin get the praise his work deserved. The criticisms of Buster Crabbe, Asimov etc always puzzled me - weren't they capable of grasping the metaphor of Space:1999? Must get round to covering this episode in a future issue of 'Andersonic', been my favourite for years.Richard Fhttp://www.andersonic.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-70042262536198153342010-04-17T12:32:23.531-04:002010-04-17T12:32:23.531-04:00The Waterboys have a song called The Big Music fro...The Waterboys have a song called The Big Music from a recording called A Pagan Place [1984].

Great review and close-up of my all-time favorite Space:1999 episode. <br /><br />Thank you for highlighting Johnny Byrne's thoughts on this unfairly maligned episode and series; and also for including my own words in regards to the episode's imagery and reputation.<br /><br />This is a beautiful and invigorating post: the photos are perfectly selected, and your words are powerful indeed!<br /><br />best,<br />John Kenneth MuirJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.com
