As much as Bixby is often the emotional center of the series, Ferrigno brings so much emotion to the monster in the show. He lends a wide berth of feeling to the creature within Banner and Ferrigno legitimately owns that portion of the series run. It really cannot be overstated just how important he was to the action part of the performance and how critical he was to bringing feeling and emotive behavior to a creature that doesn't speak a word. This writer often champions Bixby in the series as a longtime fan, as Ferrigno was a fan of Bixby himself, but it needs to be said just how special Ferrigno was to <b>The Incredible Hulk</b>. He really was incredible.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiif3HiEBiy41-f42X1Y8vp13ALwbekKkSrZeGYLzUGjumO8KrpPZ4xEhrqI0-XaVrAFtDA3xuqng3a9zMtKYbB4yy4HhowrCnnM54PGQMeejBLCXo6M4ZSWQ0IV_LMgTorX1z-W0R3o_k9XwNH_npr0MLVk4UhACYg54EZx1kwylCmobkZgf4Q13iN9Q/s1280/95083DD3-BD50-4BF9-A384-3304A074F684.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="1280" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiif3HiEBiy41-f42X1Y8vp13ALwbekKkSrZeGYLzUGjumO8KrpPZ4xEhrqI0-XaVrAFtDA3xuqng3a9zMtKYbB4yy4HhowrCnnM54PGQMeejBLCXo6M4ZSWQ0IV_LMgTorX1z-W0R3o_k9XwNH_npr0MLVk4UhACYg54EZx1kwylCmobkZgf4Q13iN9Q/s320/95083DD3-BD50-4BF9-A384-3304A074F684.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Why on Earth that dogged reporter Jack Colvin doesn't stick around in any one place to speak with that elusive David Banner is something of a mystery.

And if one wondered what happened to Russian cosmonaut dog
Laika aboard Sputnik-2 maybe <b>Lost In Space</b> answered that question with a little hope with its arrival in <b><i>One Of Our Dogs Is Missing</i></b>. And along with dogs Belka and Strelka who were also sent into space
in 1960 (but unlike Laika returned home alive), these events were inspiration for writer William Welch who penned the outing among four episodes of <b>Lost In Space</b> (including E5<i><b> The Hungry Sea</b></i>). It was indeed the more interesting element of the serial
versus the natural inclination by Allen to continue toward his enthusiasm for
more simplified monster of the week stories also included here.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: small; line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN6GZOHqRL4drLZRKehmQTctomgZbkgt38EIV3leJSaxnv4YvC_epy-ZcDjaQTYEahF7_OPIriGuPudHAimv8ko3ZNvFNzjTh00kJ1BLvGP1yLpNGh8sYn2bTvMbZl5GKBleuU326tnP5OTRnEooXtn-HP5mTuSN4GwLrBvGyYCaecG2t8xMh9DZyx7Q/s640/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing01.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="640" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN6GZOHqRL4drLZRKehmQTctomgZbkgt38EIV3leJSaxnv4YvC_epy-ZcDjaQTYEahF7_OPIriGuPudHAimv8ko3ZNvFNzjTh00kJ1BLvGP1yLpNGh8sYn2bTvMbZl5GKBleuU326tnP5OTRnEooXtn-HP5mTuSN4GwLrBvGyYCaecG2t8xMh9DZyx7Q/s320/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing01.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;">Even better <span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><b>Lost In Space</b>, Season One, Episode 13, <i><b>One Of Our Dogs Is Missing</b></i></span> might have been best applied to episode 14 as the dog that appears throughout this entry is entirely missing or absent with no explanation by the next episode. Strange times in the land of Irwin Allen. Author Marc Cushman noted the episode doesn’t make a
whole lot of sense and that it was <b><span style="color: #38761d;">“missing much”</span></b> including an ending. We could even call the entry
<i>One Of Our Endings Is Missing</i>. I like that that. Nevertheless it’s a beautifully shot episode and once again is a delight to see and experience on Blu-Ray
despite shortcomings. Lost In Space certainly applied selective continuity and memory throughout Season One. This writer must admit, it would have been great to see a little dog acquired as the family pet for the series to join Debbie the bloop. Who wouldn't have enjoyed this little dog in the background throughout the series? In truth the dog was intended to remain, but cost overruns ensured that Allen nixed that idea and the dog quickly went missing with no explanation. For those preferring a more palatable idea this writer offers this. It’s noted that the dog is missing by episodes end and instead
of explaining where the dog went apparently the writers just gave the episode
the rather appropriate title as there is no real explanation for it. Perhaps
those animal enthusiasts out there with an eye toward history even in 1957 could
rest assured in the subtext of it all that Laika was maybe somewhere out there in
space safe and sound and quite possibly with the fictional Robinson family lost but not alone. If you were to look for a more sensible explanation then Cushman notes <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">“just don’t expect it to
make any sense.”</span></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkndLfVmRtlefoiznYWiWJGP01JLcTLqJckVh5Itpv1Z3NI3yPJPRfhi_Q4xL2g_r2qXJ5GonQ_IMMaRRsjh8KyXr7HeUiU_7V_MLRrvNAZQY-baD327aFO1zyCQz8VQ5BRCftOsTR8_md2P7WK7-8L2hnlcbxja9CxL30gWodZHhnTM7Lnz8hMiC4xA/s640/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing08.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="471" data-original-width="640" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkndLfVmRtlefoiznYWiWJGP01JLcTLqJckVh5Itpv1Z3NI3yPJPRfhi_Q4xL2g_r2qXJ5GonQ_IMMaRRsjh8KyXr7HeUiU_7V_MLRrvNAZQY-baD327aFO1zyCQz8VQ5BRCftOsTR8_md2P7WK7-8L2hnlcbxja9CxL30gWodZHhnTM7Lnz8hMiC4xA/s320/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing08.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;">It
might seem awfully random to see a dog just show up on The Robinsons' Jupiter 2
doorstep, but in 1965, the year this episode launched, there was indeed a
sensitivity to dogs in space. With reason, the dog in the episode bears a striking likeness
to the Russian space dog, Laika, the first animal to orbit the planet and,
sadly, the first to die there. The pioneering mongrel/terrier that
was canine Russian cosmonaut Laika (1954-1957) travelled aboard Sputnik
2, the first animal and female to orbit the Earth.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpiZd958mPYFU1L5qvMenx8395g893L6EqSnrAEONGqnhM2VG0FBLKdI47sTuNubOixF3k58gUz_hasOIrQUSHx0bN4LBSFinvuA5_v9GlG0KV6sKJAADQ3Vka-e-btabrlmc0wtip8dm094Crq5frzCahOOA9ij94Ef2SsFWIZAYKb5RH5QT4cY3ZjA/s638/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing09.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="638" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpiZd958mPYFU1L5qvMenx8395g893L6EqSnrAEONGqnhM2VG0FBLKdI47sTuNubOixF3k58gUz_hasOIrQUSHx0bN4LBSFinvuA5_v9GlG0KV6sKJAADQ3Vka-e-btabrlmc0wtip8dm094Crq5frzCahOOA9ij94Ef2SsFWIZAYKb5RH5QT4cY3ZjA/s320/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing09.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;">My first recollection of Laika was taking in director
Lasse Hallstrom's wonderful, award-winning Swedish film <b>My Life As A Dog</b> (1985).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> T</span>he film remained one of
my favorite foreign films for years about a boy named Inegmar who often contrasted
his own wayward life to that of the missing Laika aboard that fateful trip into outer
space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ingemar would consider thoughtfully, <b><span style="color: #783f04;">"I should have
told her everything. Mom loved stories like that. It’s not so bad if you think
about it. It could have been worse. Just think how that poor guy ended up who
got a new kidney in Boston. He got his name in all the papers, but he died just
the same. And what about Laika, the space dog? They put her in the Sputnik and
sent her into space. They attached wires to her heart and brain to see how she
felt. I don’t think she felt too good. She spun around up there for five months
until her doggy bag was empty. She starved to death. It’s important to have
something like that to compare things to."</span></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><b><span style="color: #783f04;"><br /></span></b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheDKeahKuFd07OBHyFYjBk_y1cXbsYkAWrnIole0giAyg1IucBvKwOFJTU23D3r49j-hyuYPNtli7Ei6NE1l8zSKRX6y7B_pfn_voasCNJZNf6xLmC0_5Zaz8u6dBRh9n3uAeTXdLAOotOgUiJYKMbjgY0qJRHiH2InmRfBKd1QrwIIhtOE-cWaqdlxQ/s640/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing10.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="473" data-original-width="640" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheDKeahKuFd07OBHyFYjBk_y1cXbsYkAWrnIole0giAyg1IucBvKwOFJTU23D3r49j-hyuYPNtli7Ei6NE1l8zSKRX6y7B_pfn_voasCNJZNf6xLmC0_5Zaz8u6dBRh9n3uAeTXdLAOotOgUiJYKMbjgY0qJRHiH2InmRfBKd1QrwIIhtOE-cWaqdlxQ/s320/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing10.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;">Laika was a female stray

an article posted for MSNBC in 2008, Dr. Vladimir Yazdovsky called Laika,
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">"quiet and charming."</span></b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
scientist brought Laika home to play with his children just hours before the flight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yazdovsky said, <b><span style="color: #990000;">"I wanted to do
something nice for her: She had so little time left to live."</span></b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it was on October
31,1957 that the roughly three-year old terrier mongrel was sent into space
widely reported then to have lived for days, but believed to have died from
overheating (due to an insulation failure) and psychological trauma hours after
launch as reported in 2002 by scientist Dr. Dimitry Malashenkov who worked on
Sputnik 2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally, Laika had to
wait in its extremely small cabin for three days prior to launch due to
technical problems (after weeks of training in confinement).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But life signs ceased hours after lift off
despite reports to the contrary years earlier the she lived any longer than

he told moscowanimals.org, <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">"Work with animals is a source of suffering to

One can place those changes squarely on Allen’s involvement for good or bad, and
the censors of the day which were obsessed and concerned with<span style="color: #741b47;"> </span><b><span style="color: #741b47;">“unduly
frightening the small children.”</span><span style="color: #bf9000;"> </span></b>Some of the content and ideas found in <b>Lost In Space</b> Season One seemed to be generating inspiration toward more serious science fiction to come. The more serious, spiritual and philosophical lost in space
approach in exploration would manifest more credibly or ambitiously years later in <b>Space:1999</b> (1975-1977).</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTXL-Ur5TKzQiGCkp2r5lO-TS031I7YUMrD45nc1AXLYk5RVK4cHZOh04y9UflSw97dacJkNbhjmmenC2XtUoeOrFMX4xrfjODDv4xkYWiIG4WO7Pw3s5CZ7Iv_tForwM7I92-z0uA7f1x5CIAZ64s0ns1fDlQSDVnoV_7DirHHM-HtjBWGf8a8zsV3Q/s640/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing30.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="469" data-original-width="640" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTXL-Ur5TKzQiGCkp2r5lO-TS031I7YUMrD45nc1AXLYk5RVK4cHZOh04y9UflSw97dacJkNbhjmmenC2XtUoeOrFMX4xrfjODDv4xkYWiIG4WO7Pw3s5CZ7Iv_tForwM7I92-z0uA7f1x5CIAZ64s0ns1fDlQSDVnoV_7DirHHM-HtjBWGf8a8zsV3Q/s320/one%20of%20our%20dogs%20is%20missing30.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small; line-height: 107%;"><span face=""calibri" , sans-serif" style="line-height: 107%;">But there are some interesting moments here.

Welch contributed 34 scripts to <b>Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea</b>, 10 to <b>Land Of The Giants</b>, 8 to <b>The Time Tunnel</b> and just 4 to<b> Lost In Space</b>. His stories are considered average at best save for <b><i>The Hungry Sea</i></b>, which implemented half of its footage from the pilot <b><i>No Place To Hide</i></b>. But Welch was unfortunately pushed on quantity as much as quality. The episode benefits from the directorial touch of Sutton Roley in his third assignment here following <i><b>The Oasis</b></i> (E9) and <i><b>Wish Upon A Star</b></i> (E11). This would be the third of four with Roley's final contribution not arriving until Season Three with the popular <i><b>The Anti-Matter Man</b></i> (S3 E15).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Missing endings and missing dogs or not, fans of </span><b style="font-family: verdana;">Lost In Space</b><span style="font-family: verdana;"> simply would be remiss to miss another fine black and white entry in the classic series.

The t-shirt bound, testosterone-driven hot head that is West continues to be as enjoyable on screen as the rest of the ensemble. Credit is simply due. It's easy to focus on Smith because Harris is so damn good, but the ensemble cast have plenty of moments to shine across the bulk of Season One. <span style="background-color: #d5a6bd;"><b>Lost In Space</b>, Season One, Episode 12, <b><i>The Raft</i></b></span> is no exception.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8AKFxv_0Zk2agnb554_mFLxXgA3WJwGNAChXvLUPCR4t7YaUxKjGJ5YIycuIfgsLdI24MDPv86GWI-7QRtz3jloR51PIeDziHmnw2ANHSZCrtW_Jlbzrwr4VVuY5bK5HXV3FsLM0XC1NrVlXDt5OJP_a3cVpKnWkwVVMTtg69jqChtKRKZhyiADtuqg/s640/the%20raft07.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8AKFxv_0Zk2agnb554_mFLxXgA3WJwGNAChXvLUPCR4t7YaUxKjGJ5YIycuIfgsLdI24MDPv86GWI-7QRtz3jloR51PIeDziHmnw2ANHSZCrtW_Jlbzrwr4VVuY5bK5HXV3FsLM0XC1NrVlXDt5OJP_a3cVpKnWkwVVMTtg69jqChtKRKZhyiADtuqg/s320/the%20raft07.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><i><b>The Raft</b></i> is essentially composed of two halves. A good portion is given to West and the senior Robinson before relegating much of the second half to Will and Smith. The first half highlights the actions of Professor John Robinson and Major Don West as they assemble a propulsion system and lifeboat. There are also a good number of ensemble moments. The second half concentrates on Dr. Zachary Smith and Will Robinson. Once again that second half highlights the growing dynamic and connection between Smith and Will. Though notably Robot has been omitted considerably in this episode as it was in <b><i>Wish Upon A Star</i></b> (S1, E11) and <b><i>The Sky Is Falling</i></b> (S1, E10).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBuml6f4NYoX2Dv2C7f2-PquPDXtuRCecmPHm5BJUlLhcJtSf4LYRJvxRtftzyC_M8zbiD09-itxQQvQyAGaN5YvXW6eMZcwBcdBx48wqImcSdQEFqFgxe5KJWcL8asSPkIQ8KtNehFz-2Jaylp8Jkiy6eogUXJ3AFqzldl8BXT-crB4by3hTmrvE16g/s640/the%20raft09.JPG" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="640" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBuml6f4NYoX2Dv2C7f2-PquPDXtuRCecmPHm5BJUlLhcJtSf4LYRJvxRtftzyC_M8zbiD09-itxQQvQyAGaN5YvXW6eMZcwBcdBx48wqImcSdQEFqFgxe5KJWcL8asSPkIQ8KtNehFz-2Jaylp8Jkiy6eogUXJ3AFqzldl8BXT-crB4by3hTmrvE16g/s320/the%20raft09.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><b><i>The Raft</i></b> itself is composed of the Jupiter 2's reactor core and other parts.

To date, the bubble creatures were a unique design and would hardly qualify as the monster of the week. Additionally, the mutated enlarged Debbie the Bloop fit the story as written in <b><i>The Oasis</i></b> also not qualifying. The Cyclops too was massive and more in keeping with <b>The Land Of Giants</b>. The creature in <b><i>Wish Upon A Star</i></b> was also integral to the tale. Alas, in this entry Smith and Will are inevitably pursued by the creature, but illogically it never attacks them when they stand right in front of it.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqUAseRz-30oxBEakWtWNmEf46xfiXXgFhvmFXSMfTw547bQu_qWV4GzNZFPkpJbo7UfY0iN5GHSuyGY7HLuhlR6u7q3S5s1Ayd_lsrv7Uk4BwYh2WLEiQCrfVlt5iqYb_C2FwGd4B8AWFkO49dfQRJ8VNiXtV7SUA_LdU2p7wDs7WzjsMZGZTAgu3wQ/s640/the%20raft17.JPG" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="459" data-original-width="640" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqUAseRz-30oxBEakWtWNmEf46xfiXXgFhvmFXSMfTw547bQu_qWV4GzNZFPkpJbo7UfY0iN5GHSuyGY7HLuhlR6u7q3S5s1Ayd_lsrv7Uk4BwYh2WLEiQCrfVlt5iqYb_C2FwGd4B8AWFkO49dfQRJ8VNiXtV7SUA_LdU2p7wDs7WzjsMZGZTAgu3wQ/s320/the%20raft17.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">One interesting point regarding the Smith character. In the early going for the series much was made of the character being either a Russian agent or potentially someone of another country working for the Russians when he was the reluctant stowaway aboard the Jupiter 2, but here, in <b><i>The Raft</i></b>, his knowledge of the United States seems to suggest he is very much an American. Either that or he is simply waxing poetic and is merely well-versed and/or a well-studied mole within the country a la something akin to <b>The Americans</b> (2013-2018). Of course this potentially interesting layer of the character is sadly truly never explored. Certainly he has little common sense regarding his surroundings in this story and demonstrates very little in the way of intellect when preparing for a mission.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAlJvL4ES-wvaE-9Cg8tt2bVhgqR6rP95R8xw8EzHFXA16N-yxuv0sfeFqemxzoAo-4sb2_HW0wdXS8UxM9XWxtyEf-Pt4Rjvq9yGlr4oRORMMDDVBM_lYuulzk8p_7Hxlv567zZURUdtcWAzXvLiKxnc9lgpqa_qj4D2X4l4NJTlE3lEPqrTpJs5e2A/s640/the%20raft20.JPG" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="640" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAlJvL4ES-wvaE-9Cg8tt2bVhgqR6rP95R8xw8EzHFXA16N-yxuv0sfeFqemxzoAo-4sb2_HW0wdXS8UxM9XWxtyEf-Pt4Rjvq9yGlr4oRORMMDDVBM_lYuulzk8p_7Hxlv567zZURUdtcWAzXvLiKxnc9lgpqa_qj4D2X4l4NJTlE3lEPqrTpJs5e2A/s320/the%20raft20.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">One of the lovelier scenes in <i><b>The Raft</b></i> is between Smith and Will as they discuss being stranded and Will asks Smith to be his father.

Despite his self-centered ways Smith is manages to project a likability thanks to Jonathan Harris. And that's the trick really that kept the series afloat for an extended run. As we witness in <i><b>The Raft</b></i>, he is less the harmful agent and simply a more selfish entity with a gift for wordplay and Harris makes the Smith character far more likeable to the viewer and more tolerable to the Robinsons than he originally had any right to be. The family is more willing to turn the other cheek as it were as he becomes more a thorn in their side than a malevolent figure. The Smith adaptation was so poorly handled for the Netflix series.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwjmveglAAulc0fLD-2PNfqKscZqBx_qvsQTIt-S3QboZbj_wBScEuw7Tb_ms8GSvLaLJ_eybTqTNQrDr_CUktwG1eQwmiTJivVjnfEalxaajq0fymijLsF8DxUhI_nAKIanD8jGSyIE7vL_U7mE2-FuTCRdYYjK_-kdUJgeGTO-UXgQRwj6ek4xkew/s640/the%20raft02.JPG" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="640" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxwjmveglAAulc0fLD-2PNfqKscZqBx_qvsQTIt-S3QboZbj_wBScEuw7Tb_ms8GSvLaLJ_eybTqTNQrDr_CUktwG1eQwmiTJivVjnfEalxaajq0fymijLsF8DxUhI_nAKIanD8jGSyIE7vL_U7mE2-FuTCRdYYjK_-kdUJgeGTO-UXgQRwj6ek4xkew/s320/the%20raft02.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">As writer Marc Cushman noted in his book, <b>Lost In Space: The Authorized Biography Of A Classic Sci-Fi Series Volume One</b>, Smith was using Will as a human shield and yelping female-like screams. <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">"The character is not yet camp, but the effort to soften his edges was accelerating."</span></b> But Harris played the character of Smith with such a richness and depth of speech he was riveting to watch on screen. <b><i>The Raft</i></b> is an example of Harris re-writing his own dialogue for the series and affecting the reactions of other characters to him in the series.

Whatever. Well at least she has a gender. Of course, it's 2021 and the entertainment industry along with just about everything else is a slave to anything woke and non-traditional purely for the sake of some kind of irritating phantom cultural acceptance. Do people have nothing better to do nowadays? These are indeed preposterous times. Deep breath now.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">But if you can make Scotsman Sean Connery 007 then why not Scotsman Peter Capaldi as the Doctor (a point with which Capaldi has some fun with in <i><b>Deep Breath</b></i>) and then why not a woman (it's science fiction I guess). A big biological leap of course. One could argue the Capaldi effort was the last gasp (or breath) attempt at<b> Doctor Who</b> capturing the iconic character when men were men, and sheep were, ... err or rather Doctor Whos were men. Ah well, there are plenty of ships that need course correction in this world. There's no shortage of pushing the envelope for mere virtue signaling no matter where we turn today.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdmCVaU3khTofCjDl-_4AMvb1WoM19PVMZ-oXMNu9RnPlMAae28Nq1r1hPt2Ubvxn1uNlkdilDK9wgnMXYF2IyVRuyRYwYk9862nbB54C7rdfpzNu-yKpW2ABY6_wV5YQKfK-oiYTL-69t/s1280/D1208A8E-BE14-4A7E-89EF-B6CAE26B2F4D.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="730" data-original-width="1280" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdmCVaU3khTofCjDl-_4AMvb1WoM19PVMZ-oXMNu9RnPlMAae28Nq1r1hPt2Ubvxn1uNlkdilDK9wgnMXYF2IyVRuyRYwYk9862nbB54C7rdfpzNu-yKpW2ABY6_wV5YQKfK-oiYTL-69t/s320/D1208A8E-BE14-4A7E-89EF-B6CAE26B2F4D.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">All of the noise aside, here we are at a second viewing of <span style="background-color: #d9d2e9;"><b>Doctor Who</b>, Series 8, Episode 1, <b><i>Deep Breath</i></b></span> and one very significant, momentous introduction to the Peter Capaldi years (2013-2017). Not since Tom Baker was this writer and casual fan of the franchise more excited to welcome a new Doctor into the fold than with the arrival of Capaldi.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tom Baker was special. Christopher Eccleston was a stunning, professional and a terrific table setter for a new era in <b>Doctor Who</b>. David Tennant was overly manic, but delivered a signature performance. The equally beloved Matt Smith was probably excellent too, but in fairness I simply never watched his run. The series suffers from a degree of sameness after awhile. There's a certain established expectation for the character and the adventure at the heart of the show which can leave one fatigued. I've always willed from the sidelines for something more dramatically nurturing and compelling that thrilled me and surprised me in ways yet to be explored. There's always a tease of those possibilities.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4uwx828_q2JECNcmHhmUYTI4S9b3KJmhVpDEAvC-jfHsly6fxByBBJuWHvJEc8rN2lLM15KxROSeIcofjry6qi5iRP_JdrEbDPfjpFFJdlutKyYBFxZiXs9uLVSl1qlvtH-Apt6hcQPCl/s1280/DF607151-0771-4E08-8BBE-302CD1931917.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="728" data-original-width="1280" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4uwx828_q2JECNcmHhmUYTI4S9b3KJmhVpDEAvC-jfHsly6fxByBBJuWHvJEc8rN2lLM15KxROSeIcofjry6qi5iRP_JdrEbDPfjpFFJdlutKyYBFxZiXs9uLVSl1qlvtH-Apt6hcQPCl/s320/DF607151-0771-4E08-8BBE-302CD1931917.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So Capaldi was a bit of a bombshell surprise when they had landed the gifted thespian. My interest in the actor dates back to Bill Forsyth's <b>Local Hero</b> (1983). It was by all accounts Capaldi's second film opposite Peter Reigert and it was and still is a fine, charming, memorable film at that.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So it pleased me to no end to see Capaldi land a TV role of some acclaim and notoriety after what felt like an interminable career in film and TV obscurity though massive and impressively vast and varied just the same. This is a man with charisma in front of the camera to spare and the camera seems to adore him equally for it.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH_kwEE2jwrIsq-C62Nl-vko5J3exGU52ia9iPAXvnv4Nmoht-_FR2i1Q45j5eubWCJ6HxpSye_i93jOQk9gYIDZeaE9QezuWBTE8hLUd-mrCUtnsIuSEPE6VZRx9J99lWGKPoEVP-IqN_/s1280/E4FD3B47-F925-4C37-B815-85F886430F86.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="793" data-original-width="1280" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH_kwEE2jwrIsq-C62Nl-vko5J3exGU52ia9iPAXvnv4Nmoht-_FR2i1Q45j5eubWCJ6HxpSye_i93jOQk9gYIDZeaE9QezuWBTE8hLUd-mrCUtnsIuSEPE6VZRx9J99lWGKPoEVP-IqN_/s320/E4FD3B47-F925-4C37-B815-85F886430F86.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Through Capaldi's three series run as the good doctor (the twelfth) this fan was curious if he could impart or would imbue his incredible talent upon this fairly enigmatic character in unique ways and more critically would the writers allow it to happen? This was to be determined, but I can report that <b><i>Deep Breath</i></b> is a brilliant start and a winning opener for the actor and the series.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><b>Deep Breath</b></i> gave me a doctor that seemed to breathe new life (don't they all) into the franchise and that left me wanting more. A second viewing of this fairly cinematic debut demonstrated a really shining star in Capaldi as the Doctor. And for fans of <b>Doctor Who</b> who perhaps remembered their doctor from days gone by as an elder alien with a touch of the mad might have seemed a welcomed return to the concept with its nod toward the traditional in this way after several series sporting younger men in the lead.</span></span></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8QLLriPwBf07jtrChj0fRSqhiCwx8tc7CmFXwYHOYIxv137Ft4GThirnPPSzGgrn-NkJla5X_L-B0BsmnYool40RSGEZ4lZ3SC7FbYghLenlz7bOHgHW97RJh0m6EqsrX9gU8TVAN97BL/s1280/5CD588FD-1C4C-4398-AF72-82C5B888E32B.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="1280" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8QLLriPwBf07jtrChj0fRSqhiCwx8tc7CmFXwYHOYIxv137Ft4GThirnPPSzGgrn-NkJla5X_L-B0BsmnYool40RSGEZ4lZ3SC7FbYghLenlz7bOHgHW97RJh0m6EqsrX9gU8TVAN97BL/s320/5CD588FD-1C4C-4398-AF72-82C5B888E32B.jpeg" width="320" /></a></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Furthermore, not to sound like the grumpy old man, but in my day it was okay to root for and be a fan of older actors in film and television. Remember Olivia Newton John in <b>Grease </b>(1978)? Yeah, she was still the hottest high school student at Rydell High at the ripe old age of 30. Don't get me wrong Jenna Coleman is a smoke show as Clara Oswald and not to mention a fine, young actress here, but there's something special about watching a veteran performer like Capaldi or a Max Von Sydow or a Stellan Skarsgard and so on. Each and every facial line through Capaldi's countenance, across his eyes and around his smile signals and marks a certain world weary depth and credibility to the adventure. No ageism here. He was and is a pleasure to watch on screen. So it was a real joy to discover he would be in command of the Tardis and at the helm of exploring the character.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji5wSEy_pJjQOBSawGMq-p66NUTU67culYICvfsris5oizv2AAWUSUsBnlgrbjhfxUr2xQwOJ4FG5JoLihL1CyFekWgM89Jce6cse9TV73aBukaRcjpvy2b3G1uyNG_HNqvF5Zof6Wu0kE/s1280/D2940361-7713-4D1B-AD3A-CE5C2D337051.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="717" data-original-width="1280" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji5wSEy_pJjQOBSawGMq-p66NUTU67culYICvfsris5oizv2AAWUSUsBnlgrbjhfxUr2xQwOJ4FG5JoLihL1CyFekWgM89Jce6cse9TV73aBukaRcjpvy2b3G1uyNG_HNqvF5Zof6Wu0kE/s320/D2940361-7713-4D1B-AD3A-CE5C2D337051.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There are nods to the <b>Doctor Who</b> past cleverly written into the entry from writer Steven Moffat. Capaldi's Who scoffs at the idea of a scarf (shots fired at Baker's fourth doctor) and other fan service darts across this fine opener.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Whilst he may not have pushed out the boundaries of the character, Capaldi does however deliver just the right amount of needed emotional subtext here delivering precisely the kind of weight and depth I'd hoped for. As a casual fan of the franchise I've been hungry for it. Experiencing this kind of control one hopes it doesn't all just run over the top. Would we see a deeper exploration of the doctor?</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd2fMIgBZWbUqMKVRHE6cDPzOpLaUZGbiudpLdlfYzn3KKnYVT5pa3hli9B7LlZOdJgP5pRiF7wGSn4snm3Nkd5-pzunDvyV1jBO5kIv7nMMpxrCRo1V_DEbuNre8s8TOBYeTyYDw9k2Mq/s1280/71CC4978-A682-4E5E-B763-FF00A23DF358.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="1280" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd2fMIgBZWbUqMKVRHE6cDPzOpLaUZGbiudpLdlfYzn3KKnYVT5pa3hli9B7LlZOdJgP5pRiF7wGSn4snm3Nkd5-pzunDvyV1jBO5kIv7nMMpxrCRo1V_DEbuNre8s8TOBYeTyYDw9k2Mq/s320/71CC4978-A682-4E5E-B763-FF00A23DF358.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">For starters <b><i>Deep Breath</i></b> actually delivers a splendid opening salvo. Capaldi spends much of the entry coming to terms with his regeneration as does Coleman's character and Moffat handles this aspect of the story with confidence. Too often <b>Doctor Who</b> is a nice, light, bouncy, pouncy bit of sci-fi alien escapism and not enough of the darkness and depth is there to be mined. It's all quite superficial. When Sam Mendes dug a little deeper for James Bond in <b>Skyfall</b> (2012) he delivered the goods in spades for the character and made it the kind of 007 film with which a fan could return to find other layers with which to enjoy.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrKwJ7q6d3VnPDGdHQbTalZhCDN4JqPt6EALda_nkO8CQYymwb7wH4G9oGjYeENREV6fGMU33YBtIxW6orPNrYEkqhwI2BJNUL3flk6Fpwj8mOxHOXdFv0StLLC8gIzx1A-kSz30SNwSr9/s1280/925E2AD7-5289-43ED-99F7-FA05D2EBF0B1.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="708" data-original-width="1280" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrKwJ7q6d3VnPDGdHQbTalZhCDN4JqPt6EALda_nkO8CQYymwb7wH4G9oGjYeENREV6fGMU33YBtIxW6orPNrYEkqhwI2BJNUL3flk6Fpwj8mOxHOXdFv0StLLC8gIzx1A-kSz30SNwSr9/s320/925E2AD7-5289-43ED-99F7-FA05D2EBF0B1.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Writer Steve Moffat does it here with Capaldi and company along with director Ben Wheatley (<b>High Rise</b>). Moffat pens in bits of mythology, cleverly handled nonsense and sharp wit alongside some wonderfully dramatic and thoughtful scenes. Wheatley wraps his directorial qualities and cinematic eye in the style and sweep of <b><i>Deep Breath</i></b>, which actually saw release to theatres for Capaldi's introduction. The Moffat/Wheatley would return teaming for the next episode <i><b>Into The Dalek</b></i>.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Deep Breath</i></b> is a dark and creepy little alien story with Peter Ferdinando as The Half-Face Man. The antagonist is a symbol for the theme of changing faces and a theme that asks us what's behind our own appearance just as the regeneration game always poses the question of our own changing faces and who we want to ultimately be. Can we ourselves ever really change?</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPKCjuF-CvtQ_1B1p2QUU7xbh2DvlcMvj5fjqbH_D1fFop8wtoz__NX6pHapC2JWBx0A8P2BYzQlmdRRbqkgyIjXFvWmlM-4PhLLkTnCbe43n02gY6J0uqnpa3kN0ZZ4uar4zBMzjsAr4j/s1280/D77AC770-F192-4C58-A0E5-4B0EBFFFBBE5.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="704" data-original-width="1280" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPKCjuF-CvtQ_1B1p2QUU7xbh2DvlcMvj5fjqbH_D1fFop8wtoz__NX6pHapC2JWBx0A8P2BYzQlmdRRbqkgyIjXFvWmlM-4PhLLkTnCbe43n02gY6J0uqnpa3kN0ZZ4uar4zBMzjsAr4j/s320/D77AC770-F192-4C58-A0E5-4B0EBFFFBBE5.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">In a random footnote, Ferdinando is the cousin of singer-songwriter Matt Johnson of alternative band The The. I miss The The like I miss Tom Baker. Those were the days.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So w</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">hen Capaldi isn’t performing the doctor at a seemingly breathless pace of perfection, he slows things down with delicious and
devilish relish using his intellect in a kind of
chess match with The Half-Face Man. Those kinds of moments beautifully cultivate that much needed emotional subtext for which the series is sometimes starved and absent of. Again, no knock on Matt Smith, but Capaldi was a big draw for me. His work opposite Clara further illustrates the many layers of
Capaldi as a performer promising real potential in the role. Scenes are nailed flawlessly and straight out of the gate underscoring what a gifted actor Capaldi has become at his craft stepping into the series. Kudos to him for jumping at the chance to play the legendary Doctor. </span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">It’s a thrill to see the gifted Capaldi have fun with the iconic role. Let's hope the twelfth doctor makes for an extraordinary three series run.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2wrPZM7hSpdIfCRoh2TrmbzQqlMQGr0IJM9NI7vMmFmaWGv3itZy-acOuOgIwq9gxTV9tOV4TgpJxv3p54R1dirmiK2losTDe1nPCaC_ag5tp305NrtRZsyUcFvwMnx2J5n29WSDhWfJ/s1280/E23A40B0-9A9E-4EA5-A510-58468FD0F182.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="1280" height="171" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2wrPZM7hSpdIfCRoh2TrmbzQqlMQGr0IJM9NI7vMmFmaWGv3itZy-acOuOgIwq9gxTV9tOV4TgpJxv3p54R1dirmiK2losTDe1nPCaC_ag5tp305NrtRZsyUcFvwMnx2J5n29WSDhWfJ/s320/E23A40B0-9A9E-4EA5-A510-58468FD0F182.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">It's entries like <b><i>Deep Breath</i></b> that give one solace and comfort and faith that <b>Doctor Who</b>, with Capaldi in the driver's seat, could be in good hands. Ultimately it all comes down to the writing if the series is to succeed in bigger and bolder ways. For starters, <b><i>Deep Breath</i></b> was a welcomed burst of fresh air holding promise the series wouldn't settle into its comfortable routines.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><i>Writer:</i> Steven Moffat. <i>Director:</i> Ben Wheatley.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Will professes, <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">"I know he was always doing things that were wrong, but underneath, I like him that's all."</span></b> It is quite clear from the empathetic eyes of Will during Smith's exile he is quite concerned for and even attached to the man. Will notes to Major Don West in the opening minutes that Smith has some <b><span style="color: #38761d;">"good qualities"</span></b> despite West's protests to the contrary. Will is also keeping secrets with Smith over the alien device. Smith identifies with the child-like persona of Smith. Conversely, Smith too, though cowardly, has a certain soft spot developing for Will and it is evidenced here to the greatest extent to date. It is this relationship that would be so downright entertaining over time and keep eyes glued to the screen for three complete seasons. Cushman notes <b><span style="color: #990000;">"the bonding between these two characters happens here."</span></b> Will would inevitably become Smith's greatest proponent and the two along with Robot would forge the true triumvirate of the series. They would be to <b>Lost In Space</b> what James T.

After the character of Amelia is saved at one point Amelia then suddenly appears to no longer be with the team. Okay, maybe she was sent back to the Phoenix. Okay we can go with that. But then suddenly she is back with the team in Spectra’s lair and Tiny abruptly goes missing. Okay perhaps Mark has sent Tiny to get the Phoenix. Yes, that appears to be it as it is then confirmed visually that Tiny is in the cockpit. Oh no, but when the Phoenix arrives to pick up Mark, Princess, Jason and Keyop along with Amelia, Amelia is once again no longer there. Poor girl. When the team jumps up and into the Phoenix Tiny is surprisingly back with the team on the ground. My gosh what is happening? Always five acting as one apparently. But a serious question then, who the hell is flying the Phoenix? At some point I will have to check out the <b>Science Ninja Team Gatchaman</b> (1972-1974) original (<b><i>The Magma Giant, Emperor Of Hell</i></b>) on this one. Either the Americans sliced and diced the original to shreds reconfiguring it all out of order for <b>Battle Of The Planets</b> or simply extracted the errors from a poorly edited Japanese original. Alas we would one day have VHS, DVD and more to completely dissect these inconsistencies for a good bit of fun. Despite the imperfections in these productions they are truly magnificent and made lovingly by hand. As kids we were far more forgiving. Those were the days.</span></span></span></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: verdana;

This is noted as I watch <span style="background-color: #a2c4c9;"><b>Battle Of The Planets</b>, Episode 22, <i><b>The Fiery Lava Giant</b></i></span>, only to be reminded how often the writers of this American version felt the compulsion to script dialogue for the robot in the form of his fosdick. The sexual innuendos fly often between Zark and his faceless female love Susan. Apparently these writers were clearly horn dogs and felt compelled to incorporate some adult humor in place of the violence. It’s amusing, but the original animation is an irreplaceable and flawless work.</span></span></span></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV1Pf2EOHFm55Kzhy7tcOOlpuBE3igyx7_lWbLhpftIfU2t4nakDYFQK7RwunnYcbQfEgjXnH9gC0uLQKoPcgNC6YryO6-_uWdcobyu-rOAGqGxHjLGhnxjVu0TgQatYAuF5pJJapp9N1a/s1280/8B7853B6-B12E-4D3C-8587-5003D2C3083C.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.6667px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="732" data-original-width="1280" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV1Pf2EOHFm55Kzhy7tcOOlpuBE3igyx7_lWbLhpftIfU2t4nakDYFQK7RwunnYcbQfEgjXnH9gC0uLQKoPcgNC6YryO6-_uWdcobyu-rOAGqGxHjLGhnxjVu0TgQatYAuF5pJJapp9N1a/s320/8B7853B6-B12E-4D3C-8587-5003D2C3083C.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><br />Despite the occasionally disappointing choices for the American adaptation there is incredible emotional power in the US series and all of it is brought to fruition by way of its talented, compelling American voice cast.</span></span></span></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif"><i>*Footnote</i>: This writer and fan of the series continues to examine each and every <b>Battle Of The Planets</b> episode by matching the English-adapted equivalent in corresponding order to the <b>Science Ninja Team Gatchaman</b> release.

The Ben character too is in a similar place with some of humanity rejecting his alien changes. He writhes in pain after being affected by a frequency. Rick and Ben are something beyond human.

The kids are still influenced as a biological change has already occurred in them. <i><b>Eight Hours</b></i> delivers a thrilling, stellar sci-fi cliffhanger that rounds out a solid ten episode first season.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDEffy6Ws7CGBblIw-pDTK1gra-pavFGDbalKlSv2Uys8LBz75JJWeoRX0Tworh4n8ju7sBruGzYIPQfxpbZunCsKASIkxvghhXfBakDQ65S4rgZVuCJl9ynYOs5leMAoMENt8E2-xHCgV/s1280/2F7D4680-525F-473D-9D73-B73306AA9BE0.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="698" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDEffy6Ws7CGBblIw-pDTK1gra-pavFGDbalKlSv2Uys8LBz75JJWeoRX0Tworh4n8ju7sBruGzYIPQfxpbZunCsKASIkxvghhXfBakDQ65S4rgZVuCJl9ynYOs5leMAoMENt8E2-xHCgV/s320/2F7D4680-525F-473D-9D73-B73306AA9BE0.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I can only note that Season Two furthers the story and delivers another solid ten episodes for the <b>Falling Skies</b> series. When it comes to science fiction escape this <b><i>TNT</i></b> series is impressive and consistent in its quality. The channel's recent <b>Snowpiercer</b> (2020-present) effort is delivering those same engaging, storytelling qualities having been passed the baton. But if you haven't seen <b>Falling Skies</b> it is a consistently strong science fiction yarn that holds up to repeat viewing. And unlike those laborious eight hour work shifts this particular <i><b>Eight Hours</b></i> flies.</span></span></div><div><i><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;

The entry explores these ideas by speaking to the kids at home through the employ of two young actors, whilst genuinely being a fairly mature piece of dramatic television. <b><i>The Sky Is Falling</i></b> sends a message that children are seemingly better communicators at times than their own adult counterparts regardless of origin or culture.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhwoZi-INfJyFUffo2UPSyGqX8r7mlATgp00UN15SjbmvqbGqSfPZcWmLAosZN9FvmXHyNRcUH7ESjQ2TEmbKV6BZmuJAGuJ6Q_m-bRZ9lkjQQy-1pjgXWY9lk0-V7mRGINOWihQ-7zxrt4_IjFdAYEn-sc0suqn9MJZcbLugZCbz1LV15bv3GeEWfjJA=s640" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="472" data-original-width="640" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhwoZi-INfJyFUffo2UPSyGqX8r7mlATgp00UN15SjbmvqbGqSfPZcWmLAosZN9FvmXHyNRcUH7ESjQ2TEmbKV6BZmuJAGuJ6Q_m-bRZ9lkjQQy-1pjgXWY9lk0-V7mRGINOWihQ-7zxrt4_IjFdAYEn-sc0suqn9MJZcbLugZCbz1LV15bv3GeEWfjJA=s320" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This episode, like all of season one, is gorgeous in black and white. Seeing its restoration couldn't be more refreshing and vital and more life-affirming for its simple story elements as we sit in 2022 watching our world come unraveled. At the time it was penned the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union was influential to the times. Yet here we are nearly 60 years later still feeling its relevance. Lost In Space often illustrates how much we have changed and yet stay the same. Between war, COVID and woke culture run amok, one certainly yearns for simpler times through the simplicity of its story, but the realities of its message remain as true today. Experiencing <b><i>The Sky Is Falling</i></b> (how appropriate those words in 2022) and one is happy to get lost in space with these families. If there was ever a need for such an escape here it is with <b>Lost In Space</b> (1965-1968) delivering on a level its <b>Netflix </b>counterpart could never imagine and still remaining as relevant and beautiful all these decades later. It delivers in ways modern science fiction so often misses (recent exception being <b>The Expanse</b>) with careful tending to the human dynamics and of course a touch of old-fashioned values.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgY1DKfSJImt-sASPV-bQXnx4g4vfHKs7pHR3aeUnBXwHw8Pg5d0E34YycApdcF6Z8sw9V05_QUi3sRG1FaxcIPAlpXxtEOAHfXRFaCHlBvAk93Nub-6VNZguLceB5aWl6ekS-2f5A9fUXtcuKrNgZuu4zsUZPcCS4wsWHyzrxewTVx5opeVialTRf19g=s640" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="640" height="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgY1DKfSJImt-sASPV-bQXnx4g4vfHKs7pHR3aeUnBXwHw8Pg5d0E34YycApdcF6Z8sw9V05_QUi3sRG1FaxcIPAlpXxtEOAHfXRFaCHlBvAk93Nub-6VNZguLceB5aWl6ekS-2f5A9fUXtcuKrNgZuu4zsUZPcCS4wsWHyzrxewTVx5opeVialTRf19g=s320" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The story also notes no matter where we are from we often suffer the same concerns and share the same problems. Family, brotherhood and love are always universal. What is revealed in the story is the possibility for understanding and forgiveness despite mistakes and misunderstandings. </span></span><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Silence accentuates the
alien-ness of the non-speaking family the Robinsons encounter. This clever device further underscores the themes of communication
and understanding or miscommunication and misunderstandings as it were. This exploration reminds us how far we've come and yet how seemingly difficult it remains to communicate with one another despite all of the tools we possess today. In our world today it is sometimes harder than ever.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjlRep1BeTtQgkDi2hMK4ZppiQNoUOWpTxGQS5gFhUPpKvuy48bh5OFm7UKPemwqnC7oLrTc78H13qUAZNisQJiRYHMAQSNSHdvntUAZJPA_PZGBFROQpgAVTI5ov3OHL-mu0x823BpJDp6rUCXYF3j0s5HK9sgJvT4DYoFTfISIrsMHop6iVfyMy5Tmg=s637" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="637" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjlRep1BeTtQgkDi2hMK4ZppiQNoUOWpTxGQS5gFhUPpKvuy48bh5OFm7UKPemwqnC7oLrTc78H13qUAZNisQJiRYHMAQSNSHdvntUAZJPA_PZGBFROQpgAVTI5ov3OHL-mu0x823BpJDp6rUCXYF3j0s5HK9sgJvT4DYoFTfISIrsMHop6iVfyMy5Tmg=s320" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Ironically, in <b><i>Invaders From The Fifth Dimension</i></b> we had fairly talkative aliens with no mouths. Here, two episodes later, we have a family of aliens with mouths yet an inability to communicate through sound. Despite these themes of communication at the heart of <b><i>The Sky Is Falling</i></b> is a family tale. Family, perhaps the biggest draw for <b>Lost In Space</b>, was at the heart and center of the series and from which all stories emanated.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Author Marc Cushman makes a point regarding the episode's political subtext in <b>Lost In Space: The Authorized Biography Of A Classic Sci-Fi Series Volume One</b> as it was issued at the time of the Vietnam conflict and the growing threat of the Cold War. Vietnam was often a backdrop for weaving stories on Gene Roddenberry's <b>Star Trek</b>. On <b>Lost In Space</b> hawkish action is represented by Dr. Zachary Smith, while the dovish more contemplative measures are represented by Professor John Robinson.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjPGyhND9I2FptgOKXulK7V6KQ1UzaJcVb0qQIKpdXSlBqJPNIYl-3_OU4A20-X2N1MznL1iGBc3IRpea8L4ebaoYCQiCEs8ZM_elKV7zdlRJEs58qaCTiij0pZT84PfafANQjsDLZhdq_mraqvPK5rZZchi-a3aydDUpg6HO65cf-36w47N_G8KbCvVA=s640" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjPGyhND9I2FptgOKXulK7V6KQ1UzaJcVb0qQIKpdXSlBqJPNIYl-3_OU4A20-X2N1MznL1iGBc3IRpea8L4ebaoYCQiCEs8ZM_elKV7zdlRJEs58qaCTiij0pZT84PfafANQjsDLZhdq_mraqvPK5rZZchi-a3aydDUpg6HO65cf-36w47N_G8KbCvVA=s320" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Sobey Martin returned following his wonderful <b><i>The Hungry Sea</i></b> (S1, E5) and once again delivers a wonderfully lensed entry with some wonderful shots and tight close-ups never letting fans of the series down visually. This was his second of fourteen episodes he would direct.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">The story itself was written by Herman Groves. Groves originally handled a treatment of a story dubbed Refuge Of The Damned for <b>Lost In Space</b>. It was set to follow <b><i>The Hungry Sea </i></b>(S1, E5) rather than <b><i>Welcome Stranger</i></b> (S1, E6), but was shelved.

It would be the first of twenty-two scripts by Slater, the second most for the series behind Peter Packer who penned twenty-five. Though it was his work on <i><b>Wish Upon A Star</b></i> (S1, E11) that earned him the spot to step in here despite the fact this aired earlier.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><b>Lost In Space</b> continued a notable run of impressive guest stars on its series following Warren Oates on <b><i>Welcome Stranger</i></b> (S1, E6) with actor Don Matheson appearing who would later co-star as a lead in the ensemble series <b>Land Of The Giants</b> (1968-1970) for Irwin Allen. Matheson would later make another <b>Lost In Space</b> appearance in <b><i>Revolt Of The Androids</i></b> (S2 E24). This would be Matheson's first appearance in an Allen production. He followed with a guest role in <b>Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea</b>, <b><i>The Deadly Amphibians</i></b> (S1, E13) (1967). More notably Matheson was an American soldier in the Korean War and even won a purple heart before becoming a law enforcement officer in Detroit, Michigan.

What drew us in was Robert Heinlein... the quality of Heinlein's storytelling. What's good about a short story, as opposed to a novel, is that you're able to keep the framework for something and then expand upon it.... ... in a novel, what you tend to do is just extract the core and .... remove so much to make it work. The interesting thing about Heinlein's short story is that so much of it is brilliantly constructed. ... it's rare that you can go to a movie, especially these days, and just really see something different and unique. We feel that Predestination is that film. It's something that's very different from any time-travel science fiction film you may have seen before, and I think it's a better viewing once you've seen it twice."</span></b></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">-Peter Spierig, <b>SciFi Now</b> #100, p.72-3-</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv73cNn52ts89ylYczQI1Gih7d0MKu_Wnl-HgZBD2uuQ8oVHF3PBgtjxgvO0kL5faFvUvdiheiGbCFedJt2tFC8szMmZ_5BODYP3w2WPhWD9-QCLr1KSi4K1mcqIkAQ_k8CNklKsRHFL22/s1600/predestination037.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="159" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv73cNn52ts89ylYczQI1Gih7d0MKu_Wnl-HgZBD2uuQ8oVHF3PBgtjxgvO0kL5faFvUvdiheiGbCFedJt2tFC8szMmZ_5BODYP3w2WPhWD9-QCLr1KSi4K1mcqIkAQ_k8CNklKsRHFL22/s320/predestination037.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">H</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">appening upon a brief article on <b><span style="background-color: #d0e0e3;">Predestination</span> </b>(2014), a film this writer covered (visual spoilers) <a href="http://scifimusings.blogspot.com/2015/09/predestination.html">here</a>, gave me the opportunity to shine a light on it one more time.

The film even defaults to a large segment of re-utilized footage from both <b>Gamera Vs. Barugon</b> (1966) and <b>Gamera Vs. Gyaos</b> (1967). Having seen both fairly recently combined with a busy schedule I was forced to simply fast forward through the re-used footage. All of this and the film was just 72 minutes to begin with.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sadly the new footage is only fair to good. There isn't nearly as much monster blood as seen in the previous films and the battle is fairly ephemeral between Viras and Gamera. Though the effects work isn't the biggest problem here. Again, it's the writing. This is interesting and may not bode well since scriptwriter Niisan Takahashi penned every single screenplay for the Gamera pictures. Time will tell if this is a misstep or a sign of things to come as this is arguably the weakest of the four films to date.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj6KB2tFmROcoOIsPO2RKiGa-kJUj4VdYz7Hu36wlaAxN24pNaa3OXxVyYW1ORvSAELa7GT7hgqjyYW0YlqlmYiF7ctlvhyphenhypheniVx-bXTy2IdwbtnHRyJ8CKw1Vcnm62qtekgJHT7UYLum__K/s1280/78A9B53D-51DE-4637-BACC-9FF5A2C17752.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="538" data-original-width="1280" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj6KB2tFmROcoOIsPO2RKiGa-kJUj4VdYz7Hu36wlaAxN24pNaa3OXxVyYW1ORvSAELa7GT7hgqjyYW0YlqlmYiF7ctlvhyphenhypheniVx-bXTy2IdwbtnHRyJ8CKw1Vcnm62qtekgJHT7UYLum__K/s320/78A9B53D-51DE-4637-BACC-9FF5A2C17752.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The story is simple and logically tailored toward children with only a few stunning moments. In one scene Viras beheads all of the aliens to absorb their bodies and become a giant monster Viras bursting forth from the space ship. Spurting blood from their necks might have been a tad too much to expect for the kiddies given our two protagonists are two young scouts roughly 12-13 years old. Additionally, the spearing to the gut of Gamera by Viras is shocking and the great turtle somehow manages to survive it.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfDSmdCn-x3E3v_S5zqbB4FF6zaspIfE-a_tD-lgDVYzQzdXcg9act4ZWvYYqQ4lW_kOP2GbICkDvhu_LAQElufS_oy2t2z1hmoFfo3nEKOtVGzVLrs3e7Gr-lQtAmj4Kt74UTyWtJB_a/s1280/33DD8E98-5073-4FA0-B6E9-302D589AB23C.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="578" data-original-width="1280" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXfDSmdCn-x3E3v_S5zqbB4FF6zaspIfE-a_tD-lgDVYzQzdXcg9act4ZWvYYqQ4lW_kOP2GbICkDvhu_LAQElufS_oy2t2z1hmoFfo3nEKOtVGzVLrs3e7Gr-lQtAmj4Kt74UTyWtJB_a/s320/33DD8E98-5073-4FA0-B6E9-302D589AB23C.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Gamera Vs. Viras</b> is highly recommended as a film to show to young kids currently engaged with scouting. It could be a lot of fun for parents. I wish I had realized this when my son was a scout. That was a missed opportunity. As a kaiju film it's fairly underwhelming and not nearly as wonderful as I remembered it to be. Still, there are some interesting effects shots of Gamera and Viras if a touch low budget. Nevertheless, they are creative and are far more interesting than the bulk of today's cold, soulless, unimaginative CGI garbage that has inundated the popcorn film landscape.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz4p16A1W2Pey5ZxPSgeeRjPlR02q4oVUzybM6gmdCv3WKJVWdLFgNHyf_CgAQGbTt8RBrDvs42gBPZH4f_J-izHMGCw_9IoPCtqhLql-wYE1YjhQgun91eSSzXJdsTqDaz3jczbNESUz3/s1280/567A2F74-7CE5-4A01-AA13-7541AC52BAB7.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="536" data-original-width="1280" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz4p16A1W2Pey5ZxPSgeeRjPlR02q4oVUzybM6gmdCv3WKJVWdLFgNHyf_CgAQGbTt8RBrDvs42gBPZH4f_J-izHMGCw_9IoPCtqhLql-wYE1YjhQgun91eSSzXJdsTqDaz3jczbNESUz3/s320/567A2F74-7CE5-4A01-AA13-7541AC52BAB7.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Let's hope Noriaka, can bring our turtle hero, Gamera, the Friend Of All Children and Guardian Of The Universe, back for a more interesting picture with <b>Gamera Vs.

The music does its part to set the series apart from the original.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">As a series it's fairly steady, but by no means the kind of appointment television so well configured for <b>The Walking Dead</b> original. The aforementioned series is adept at juggling various story lines with aplomb and does so with a plethora of fascinating characters. <b>FTWD</b> is deficient in this department drawing upon a small circle of cast members. The same cast that showed much promise in the first season dries up in the third season as lackluster and uninteresting. The series material is simply not as compelling as the parent series or even its own thrilling starter season. Some characters have not been as fleshed out (pun intended) as one would have hoped based upon that first fairly strong six episode opening salvo. This may explain why things get changed up so radically for the show in the upcoming seasons. It stands to reason.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtsVdM92ReWLtMRxH03Y-VWJyOiwOuHZTL0R31ir69a-dddUaY8xPgH9x4Dmh7Q3Rt4DilakCOIBp56gqypSkj3EeIDhtyyoCalHA8EPA_EbuUUPURzZkx41sKfLcvFm2IvfE9vw47Emi/s1280/51FE87DE-94DE-4087-9ECC-E4F551E8DD6C.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="706" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDtsVdM92ReWLtMRxH03Y-VWJyOiwOuHZTL0R31ir69a-dddUaY8xPgH9x4Dmh7Q3Rt4DilakCOIBp56gqypSkj3EeIDhtyyoCalHA8EPA_EbuUUPURzZkx41sKfLcvFm2IvfE9vw47Emi/s320/51FE87DE-94DE-4087-9ECC-E4F551E8DD6C.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">There are missteps here.

Unfortunately there isn't a single interesting character or compelling baddie to rival the likes of The Governor or Negan from <b>TWD</b> to be seen. Additionally, with a lower than average zombie quotient and less than compelling characters played by average actors with less than stellar material it's no wonder the series was heading for a major shake-up.

The adults in the room on <b>TWD</b> made sense at least even if there were bruisers sitting on the sidelines waiting for direction. Some of these people don't have the weight to be believed or even want to follow. Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes commanded attention and could hold an audience in a room. Maggie was a credible leader too. There are just some tough sells here which simply don't help sell entirely weak material and concepts from the get go.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0o7Rm0USlOddg02GhOu8f7XhA2rko00qC0M1XoGNgb6X3Evi8apvyFWBH2_FBgPjUpGeWUCTPRuSlnYQCf7Y3JMu9SVwWeyagoHoA0uS0GDh8_asFCxN-8WIZ-Yn8KaZjtiES-cVVt72C/s1280/13C1C451-6D56-400B-AC48-054F0D3C6FEF.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="718" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0o7Rm0USlOddg02GhOu8f7XhA2rko00qC0M1XoGNgb6X3Evi8apvyFWBH2_FBgPjUpGeWUCTPRuSlnYQCf7Y3JMu9SVwWeyagoHoA0uS0GDh8_asFCxN-8WIZ-Yn8KaZjtiES-cVVt72C/s320/13C1C451-6D56-400B-AC48-054F0D3C6FEF.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Despite being a true struggle to get through this poorly conceived season it was still apparently enough to manage the show's consistent renewal and that's fantastic news for fans of <b>The Walking Dead</b> Universe.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What's on display here was a slog for this writer and fan of the original. It's a real shame too because that first season had the right idea. By contrast, parent series <b>TWD </b>was appointment television. You couldn't wait to see the next episode. <b>FTWD </b>never quite got there. It was closest during Season One and then Two, but Season Three leaves one nonplussed, disengaged even bored at times. By the time this writer reached the mid-point of the season it was almost hard to believe the themes and storyline were greenlit to go forward in this way. How many more episodes do I have left?</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLAROcFuCLSIzF0gICrygltTcViiYkpt1luz4dr_-Ob9VeQM16ftx0dp0TjgZEtHWe70h6ptYBqarWtJN9PetOn5NNnI5UORxuwdt3n4MIPLryyk37SffN8prDxe_Z-qSYXthXjbcsduFy/s1280/0915EC5F-838E-4BAA-9A7E-0C1AB8269416.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="716" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLAROcFuCLSIzF0gICrygltTcViiYkpt1luz4dr_-Ob9VeQM16ftx0dp0TjgZEtHWe70h6ptYBqarWtJN9PetOn5NNnI5UORxuwdt3n4MIPLryyk37SffN8prDxe_Z-qSYXthXjbcsduFy/s320/0915EC5F-838E-4BAA-9A7E-0C1AB8269416.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">With some resolutions to this rather tenuous, precarious scriptwriting completed, could the second half at least improve the third season of <b>FTWD</b>? The answer is perhaps marginally, but it's still pretty bleak in a bad way. It's a befuddling place to be and even more bewildering considering the showrunner, Dave Erickson, handled the first three seasons. Well, sadly, this third season takes it off the rails in terms of quality.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUCbG3zZGsDNLRQ6yAWnBtF1PuqW8ewd6CAnuDt86_WiKxsAUCeKLqPBrObGN3rNiYxdpbp1v-B5ZxR_DMvoTRgdhZiyAo9IA-KeJompzfBDDCsNmpRJ_4p_vNbUv1L6B5B-GEg8Hd2jT8/s1280/AB18E7AD-1FE2-4C68-89D8-97378898D7AD.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="714" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUCbG3zZGsDNLRQ6yAWnBtF1PuqW8ewd6CAnuDt86_WiKxsAUCeKLqPBrObGN3rNiYxdpbp1v-B5ZxR_DMvoTRgdhZiyAo9IA-KeJompzfBDDCsNmpRJ_4p_vNbUv1L6B5B-GEg8Hd2jT8/s320/AB18E7AD-1FE2-4C68-89D8-97378898D7AD.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>Clearly some saw the writing on the wall for a change in showrunners and an overhaul. Additionally, character arcs have been underwhelming with one of the best being killed off at the beginning of the season rather arbitrarily (did that actor have the wisdom and foresight to get out?).</span></span><span style="font-family: verdana;">That character's departure was unexpected, underwhelming, sudden, inexplicable, anti-climactic and weak in the writing department. That actor couldn't have saved this hot mess.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> I can't help but wonder if there was a reason for that and if this season wasn't simply lacking from the very start. Kim Dickens, as much as I like her, just doesn't have the material to lift the series like an Andrew Lincoln or even a Melissa McBride. The latter being that damn good. There's no one (writers or actors) here capable of elevating the material and concepts to the level of even some of <b>The Walking Dead</b>'s weakest material.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCkC0jxuxGNgJG9vLHeopLUXRIgWcMqQ6APU4AZ4ULla8lnqJMm89URMhWcqHN8OzpXmeIUCK739_szSbbaikc0QU_3DHo3lfSf3RiEbKMY_HAma-oyWqB-B65vh-qOuyoBwqbN_IEuC6r/s1280/19D5B47B-9742-4032-BD5A-DEE16F5C191D.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCkC0jxuxGNgJG9vLHeopLUXRIgWcMqQ6APU4AZ4ULla8lnqJMm89URMhWcqHN8OzpXmeIUCK739_szSbbaikc0QU_3DHo3lfSf3RiEbKMY_HAma-oyWqB-B65vh-qOuyoBwqbN_IEuC6r/s320/19D5B47B-9742-4032-BD5A-DEE16F5C191D.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Matt Fowler of <i><b>IGN</b></i> felt Dickens made the series better and allowed for the series to even best <b>The Walking Dead</b>. Laughable. Not a chance in hell. This season proved, if anything, it was in dire need of better casting and better writing. The dry, arid landscapes of the show's setting are wonderful, but the material is subpar and it was a relief when the season was over.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This third season needed a real infusion of ideas and an installation of some considerable characters with weight backed by some stronger writing and performances at this point. If I was a betting man I might have thought <b>FTWD</b> was heading the way of the dodo bird if things didn't improve (and fast), but it's hard to guess what gets greenlit and cancelled.

It just never seems to capture the energy of its first two seasons and especially of parent <b>TWD</b>. It's incredible to think some of the finest series in television with so much more on offer are cancelled prematurely and yet, alas, there it is, <b>FTWD</b>, still shuffling along. The series remains afloat thanks to the lifeblood of a thriving franchise.

So the Vipers received slight modifications becoming the Mark II Vipers complete with slightly more extended noses and the Galactica herself was conceived to <b><span style="color: #741b47;">"evoke"</span></b> the original classic but was reworked the most.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkavCFinHYQLpGg05pdBPDlbJj3hSWdppExsr2ls8Z1NSMzzUb8i7xNamdgFEihZA7u3WQv0yP2uorLA8IUr6uDHCKtASZs_0cMrnvOMOLWe-2C1fLp2MPd7q6lgT7iLP58O6nOuNVBCVQ/s1600/battlestarsaga03.JPG" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkavCFinHYQLpGg05pdBPDlbJj3hSWdppExsr2ls8Z1NSMzzUb8i7xNamdgFEihZA7u3WQv0yP2uorLA8IUr6uDHCKtASZs_0cMrnvOMOLWe-2C1fLp2MPd7q6lgT7iLP58O6nOuNVBCVQ/s320/battlestarsaga03.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;">For the Galactica, ultimately, the team crafted a sweet balance between the original and the new. Lending the metallic Galactica a ribbed surface treatment the new creation was equally a beast of a vessel in keeping with the tone of the series. It was <b><span style="color: #666666;">"more industrial, more military and more hard-edged."</span></b> The launch bays themselves were also retractable in step with the new, state-of-the-art effects potential of the series.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibOk8cJv8wq7PpyiLS2UdaVHS16tEHvusQ-wgBNI8HPk9wkBEhvr-Sa0LomsuQWQMFWE9FTt1ZdfafVLmzVykA-g4pa0xXyNLO69oizfB0rAt_9CmhHnAmUUaocrfZ1_Wv7Egj2dgDDsw6/s1600/saga+of+a+star+world+375.JPG" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibOk8cJv8wq7PpyiLS2UdaVHS16tEHvusQ-wgBNI8HPk9wkBEhvr-Sa0LomsuQWQMFWE9FTt1ZdfafVLmzVykA-g4pa0xXyNLO69oizfB0rAt_9CmhHnAmUUaocrfZ1_Wv7Egj2dgDDsw6/s320/saga+of+a+star+world+375.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="font-size: x-small;">As a fan of the original Galactica the new ship was a stunning winner in design going toe to toe with the classic. As geeks go the two remain favorites among the cannon of science fiction vessels. Very rarely do redesigns work for me (<b>Thunderbirds</b> is a fine example as none come close to the originals), but the Galactica herself, classic and new, are just beauties. The two rank right up alongside The Eagle from <b>Space:1999</b> and other classics.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

Like that opening shot, as we discovered in <i><b>Sanctuary (Part 1)</b></i> (S1, E6), things aren't always as they seem.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1IRUSttGzNcpvLlDgSnJJ5nq6lFCsEXTxYsgyxX767Fp4jyUD2OUz8XTTCpBopcqf_i55F5WnAF64mttchN8BhucJw9uLKBdpWQOletZVH20QR1YTi_BmL-PnzzMESbH2vc4hJ-gbdn_5/s1280/9CFCFCB9-03DB-41EB-8E70-62E1F5DB6A06.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1IRUSttGzNcpvLlDgSnJJ5nq6lFCsEXTxYsgyxX767Fp4jyUD2OUz8XTTCpBopcqf_i55F5WnAF64mttchN8BhucJw9uLKBdpWQOletZVH20QR1YTi_BmL-PnzzMESbH2vc4hJ-gbdn_5/s320/9CFCFCB9-03DB-41EB-8E70-62E1F5DB6A06.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Minor character moments like a distrustful Jimmy peering at Ben Mason's post-harnessed back or Hal Mason, of the 2nd Mass, flirting with a girl named Tessa continue to draw us into the world of <b>Falling Skies</b> beyond the aliens. <b><span style="color: #a64d79;">"You know why they're here,"</span></b> informs a father about the arrival of the 2nd Mass kids under the watchful eye of the agenda-driven opportunist that is the evil of Terry Clayton.

The previously harnessed, in some instances (Ben Mason seems unaffected), also exhibit empathy or an empathic connection toward the aliens. It's the alien equivalent of Stockholm or Helsinki Syndrome, whereby captives develop a psychological bond with their captors while in captivity. There is indeed a hangover effect here from the harnesses. The impact of the harness on some versus others remains something of a mystery, but the biological impact is varies and credible like an illness or a vaccine.

You should understand that." </span><span>Ben The physical/psychological impact varies (perhaps based on time of harness attachment) and makes for a fascinating subtext throughout the entry.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Q2nMXn5E8oSotj3Z_H5gswTdrCdTzTHm1OfHHYnlYHKYBUY-zymCToGoNnGEShWVDPNy8WbkjJlZIJaoq1w0k6NQ0KJX7WI1dul7oqB2TO4jNekAiQJl3m3LCxJLTGM12N5di1HzTztU/s1280/1679C07A-771F-4F0D-9F11-31A8919B986F.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="718" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Q2nMXn5E8oSotj3Z_H5gswTdrCdTzTHm1OfHHYnlYHKYBUY-zymCToGoNnGEShWVDPNy8WbkjJlZIJaoq1w0k6NQ0KJX7WI1dul7oqB2TO4jNekAiQJl3m3LCxJLTGM12N5di1HzTztU/s320/1679C07A-771F-4F0D-9F11-31A8919B986F.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Why aren't the soldiers in the camp on high alert looking to the skies or roads?

It's challenging to consider if any have ever bested their parent series.

Kudos for an attempt at something new, but dialogue, teen characters, plot all fall flat. The series lacks real energy, suspense (much of the time), and the Empties (the Walkers in this series) are even incompetent at eating flesh. With the snowflake generation doing everything in its power to avoid killing the empties it's a wonder they succeed in surviving at all. These kids are asking for it. It's astounding how successful they are at evading the grim reaper. Acting is generally unmemorable despite the mostly likable, young group. There's very little inner conflict between the wayward children, which makes for a less than engaging slog and journey into the world beyond. Set in the future the series wisely tries something different from what has been established, but the result is underwhelming. The execution is lightweight and unworthy of the franchise. I viewed the entirety of Season One and there were more than a few cringeworthy moments and those aren't the kind of cringes you want when watching an epic franchise like <b>TWD</b>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkHGtF33PYKZI3HhprRetwXiGd9-M1X3PVAO1w-7zNlsQUr_R2el7qUeRfgj6toa4YiXbdFFyJDUCUrtzclbU9drdH2OLJ616Eh0vQJsKblwCz0809BYqQQNVGmtCe9T85zKSXBe8XY5yX/s2048/wdwb2.jpg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1366" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkHGtF33PYKZI3HhprRetwXiGd9-M1X3PVAO1w-7zNlsQUr_R2el7qUeRfgj6toa4YiXbdFFyJDUCUrtzclbU9drdH2OLJ616Eh0vQJsKblwCz0809BYqQQNVGmtCe9T85zKSXBe8XY5yX/s320/wdwb2.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-small;">Scott Gimple, Matthew Negrete and the production team needed to execute this much better.

The grotesque betrayal of mankind is a recurring theme in science fiction whether it be Glen A. Larson's <b>Battlestar Galactica</b>, Irwin Allen's <b>Lost In Space</b> and Robert Kirkman's <b>The Walking Dead</b> to name just a few. We are constantly at war with ourselves as much as those nasty alien, external forces. It's the internal struggle that truly threatens to tear us apart. That theme couldn't be more true today as of this writing given our current political and cultural climate (driven by both domestic and foreign forces at work). The desperation of man for power is ultimately destructive. If <i><b>Sanctuary</b></i> suggests anything it's that there is none.</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghXKwGx224TpfSYnKqH-xs_ycxoMoRfh22uPNfMGFp9G3l_vGLu5IMA7lZKqyPZKPCSkin_LWwCcSFw7U1HElxZxBwbCK5V-ewHnCMlH2TpJK0RZOJFcyObRQsd8QtKHG51N7ITcEvGlGv/s1280/BFF35263-AED2-4995-8F8E-E07161A30CC1.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="688" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghXKwGx224TpfSYnKqH-xs_ycxoMoRfh22uPNfMGFp9G3l_vGLu5IMA7lZKqyPZKPCSkin_LWwCcSFw7U1HElxZxBwbCK5V-ewHnCMlH2TpJK0RZOJFcyObRQsd8QtKHG51N7ITcEvGlGv/s320/BFF35263-AED2-4995-8F8E-E07161A30CC1.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The episode explores further aspects of the alien physiology including thought transference. It ruminates on the destruction of the nuclear family and tradition through a hive-like mind connection or imprinting on humans by outside forces. It further illustrates the struggles experienced today. In the series that alien/human connection softens a negative perception toward the aliens in those harnessed whether it be authentic or mere brainwashing as part of the alien lifeform's nature. This links to the kind of nesting connectivity witnessed in <b style="font-style: italic;">Silent Kill </b>(Episode 5). It explores programming something we've experienced culturally today through a year long global pandemic.</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjENl-otpucyTcHc8wWA8hrrgyNG8l1sF6hxP5IKWGXkI9NKU-4pwo0ss5sR6-eYqDZvoWZTFeHGrLXqPxe9tRZdpBVjXNKDTK7hw4qmxHInNCrtankf-eLsjWCHLk3wjIZg38ESdubvtK1/s1280/F2E56C8F-B366-4457-90E9-A61D05EAC194.jpeg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="718" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjENl-otpucyTcHc8wWA8hrrgyNG8l1sF6hxP5IKWGXkI9NKU-4pwo0ss5sR6-eYqDZvoWZTFeHGrLXqPxe9tRZdpBVjXNKDTK7hw4qmxHInNCrtankf-eLsjWCHLk3wjIZg38ESdubvtK1/s320/F2E56C8F-B366-4457-90E9-A61D05EAC194.jpeg" width="320" /></a></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>Falling Skies</b> offers plenty of dramatic moments and works at a slow burn to develop its characters.
