If I remember correctly the telepaths in the Tomorrow people were unable to kill – they had access to stun guns and some alien telepathy enhancing technology that boosted their inherent abilities – loved this show
I have to ask if the script writer of this video actually watched the shows. Fighting along side the Cyclon 6? Really? Maybe 25 years later….
9:04 You are welcome
"But some found it-" (quotes said by nobody ever)
in the 'Fantastic Journey' segment. One of those green guys looks like James Olmos to me. Don't see it listed in IMDB though. Anybody else think that's him?
You got way too many things wrong here, almost as if you've NEVER seen these shows.
Battlestar Galactica was a goofy mornon allegory ☠️
If you are a scifi fan and have not watched Farscape you are so missing out!
The Starloat was created by Author Harlon Ellison.
Roj Blake. Jenna Stannis villa Rental Kerr Avon and Olag Gann played by David Jackson❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that OG BSG is forgotten. Space 1999 has one of most "fanatic" fanbase on this planet too, and those eagles are freaking awesome .
Space: 1999… I just became aware of about a year ago. As a life-long Star Trek fan, even as far back as The Original Series, I couldn't believe how I somehow missed this series. It's also hard to miss the obvious influence that 'Space: 1999' had on Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. That is the costumes, set design, and even some of the stories. As I watch through the series, and on into the 2nd season. I'm in the middle of finishing this show and I'm captivated.
Nice that the comments prove that I should not waste time on this channel. Thanks – Folks for suffering through, so We (the rest of us) Don't Have To…
Can't believe you didn't include Sapphire & Steel.
So, if it's hot off the stove and you put it in the sink to clean and the water is cold… it will be fine even then?
Number 6 was not in the original Battlestar Galactica. The "Human" Cylon crap came from the idotic remake that stole the trappings of Battlestar but not it's heart. They wanted to tell a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT story but abuse something that people loved.
I don't remember most of these.
Buck Rogers featured one of the last regular performances of Mel Blanc as Twikki. He was well known to everyone who enjoyed Warner Brothers cartoons as the voice of Bugs Bunny, Sylvester Cat, Tweety, Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck and countless others. I think his last movie performance was in the film Strange Brew where he was the voice of the father of the boys.
There was a show I remember watching years ago about a family that visited Egypt and ended up in some alternative world, I just wish I could remember what it was called.
the first BS galactica series was frankly ridicolous the reboot was a great show instead. UFO is an iconic british show that is fantastic for its clear early 70s vibe.
Blake's 7 was truly awesome.
Youi
re talking about the amimate Planet of the Apes, BUT you're showing clips from the live-action TV series.
@ 15:40 you talk about the animated TV series "Return to the Planet of the Apes" but in your video you show clips from the LIVE ACTION TV series "Back To the Planet of the Apes" – NOT THE ANIMATED Series.
I still enjoyed the video.
Number 6 was never a part of the original Battlestar Galactica. She wasn't introduced until the reboot
Zero mention of Dr. Who. Tom Baker ruled this decade
TheStarlost is great
Wait. BSG 1978, did you say number 6? Youre confusing both versions
You are getting original Battlestar Galactica a bit confused with the new Battlestar Galactica. There was no human looking Cylon named Six in the original.
Fantastic Journey remembers a cartoon series from the 80s: Dungeons and Dragons
Brilliant video thanks . BTW Avon from Blakes 7 was a Hacker/bank robber
WRT Space 1999: Star Barf. Formulaic at best. The rest of the list doesn't deserve even Star Barf.
Battlestar Galactica didn't have a human like Cylon that was the remake series. And your Planet of the Apes voice over is flawed to say the least. It was live action not animated, and there were 2 astronauts not 3. Also it was 1 chimpanzee with a different name than from the movies.
i watched most of these as a kid.. i love you got the tomorrow people in the list and a few other british ones.. blakes 7 was made in my area most of the film locations are close.. and have to love return to the planet of the apes.. i though that Roddy McDowall shined in the series and films. he was one my all time favourite actors.. and loguns run. man that takes me back.. my parents used to do shopping on the same day as it was shown.. and we used to hate to have to go with them as we knew we may not get home in time to watch it.. so many great shows back then.. would also look for Sapphire & Steel came out in 1979 was a mix of twilight zone and strangeness. hard to explain you have to try and dig them out.. though i am remembering them with rose tinted glasses.. they may not be as good as i remembered.. 🙂 but some classics
As a 15 yr old, way into science fiction, I watched UFO for one reason only.
The costumes those moon and underwater girls wore. The catsuits the under-the-studio girls wore weren't bad either, lol.
It certainly wasn't for their hokey, sad attempts at science-fiction, lol. That itch was scratched by Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein, Niven, Farmer, Anderson, Brunner and a dozen other masters.
I watched every one of them, when the debuted !
4:25 Mixed up 1978 original Battlestar Galactica with the more successful Ron Moore version that began in 2003/4 to 2010 by mentioning Human Cylon Number 6 (who was in the latter version).
THE STARLOST – considered so bad by Harlan Ellison (who consulted since it was from his book Phoenix Without Ashes) that he demanded the credits only include his pen name Cordwainer Bird. this would however be a good choice for a reboot that isnt so goofy).
No #6 Cylon in BSG1978! You are mistaken!
At about the 5:10 mark while discussing Battlestar Galactica (1978) you mention the humanoid Cylon number Six. Number Six was not a character in the 1978 BSG. The first humanoid Cylon did not feature in BSG until Galactica 1980.
Was this script written by an AI, something like ChatGPT?
ChatGPT literally warns people that it's information can be false, and should be verified before being taken as factual.
Given this is the second mistake that I've noticed in the first three segments, I find it difficult to believe that you have watched these shows yourself, or even done the simple task of looking stuff up on a wiki.
Down vote from me.
At about the 3:00 mark while talking about Blake's 7, you describe Kerr Avon as being an "icy cool assassin". Avon is not an assassin! He is a computer expert, who values logic and reason over emotional reactions. Think Spock, without the ears. Like Spock, however, Avon does have emotions, he just likes to keep them under tight control. While Avon can and will kill if it is in his interest to do so, he is not an assassin. He is just as likely to work with people, even those he does not like, or would otherwise wish to harm, if it is in his interest to do so. By the same token, he will kill those he considers friends if it is in his interest to do so.
I'm not sure this dude watched his own video
What the eff am Iistening to? The 'facts' read by the narrator are just … wrong.
If enough of us flag/report this as 'misinformation', maybe it will be removed.
Wow sooooooooo many errors. 😅
Okay, I liked Battlestar Galactica, Blake's 7, and UFO. (loved the bluehaired chicks!)). The rest – losers!
I'm pretty sure you used AI to write this. Humanoid six is from BSG(2004), not 1978…
Nice narration without the try hard,less is more sometimes,you should play more actual footage after your introductions.
Good video, thank you!!! Got a few new shows to check out
Did my guy confuse Daget and Six
I enjoyed Space 1999, UFO and some of the others.
Where was I when most of these were televised? All I remember are Battlestar Galactica, and Logan's Run.
The fantastic journey sounds almost like Sliders – wonder if that's where the inspiration came from
