The Star Trek film last year exceeded the fuck out oy my relatively low expectations.

not sure if you've watched ALL episodes, which are on netflix, some playable online. some are amazing and some are kinda repetitive (similar themes/situations) and some are fucking outright ridonculous, but all in all it's great shit.

If it's the Hammer version you've been watching (the version that pic is taken from), I flippin' love that movie. The BBC version is good, but Hammer's is just something else. Quatermass and the Pit and The Devil Rides Out, my two favourite Hammer films.

Agreed, but Tennant was a decent comeback I thought. He's the only one since Baker who seemed to own the role. Pertwee and Troughton were both great too in their day though.

It's been the '55 BBC serial I've been watching. I'll probably catch the Hammer version afterwards. My favorite Hammer picture without thinking about it too much is probably something silly like Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas.

spock taught me humas are pathetic and weak

[chicka]

I thought Firefly was a better show than all of them and I haven't seen more
than a dozen or so shows.

[GeneticKiss]

So long as no one says the "E" word, then it's all good.

...you know what the "E" word is, so don't say it.

[Toilet & Bowels]

i never watched the one with the guy from quantum leap because the music was so awful i would switch it off every time

Not sure which one, but "Five Million Years to Earth" was the US renaming of one of those mid 60s Quatermass flicks. Fantastic movie and it scared the bejesus outta me as a kid and is still extremely spooky...

Those grasshopper Martians and the ancient memories brought forth from that lady's subconscious mind shown on that old cathod ray tube !! The wind down in the underground and all....CHILLING and not cheesy at all, very believable.

Oh btw, I'm an old Trekkie from the inaugural show...I watched it from the beginning all the way to the boxset DVD's I have now of that Original Series.

A couple of the shows, "City on the Edge of Forever" (the Guardian) and the one where they went back to the ice ages thru the other 'time portal" of Mr. Atoss ?? They both reminded me of that chilling effect I got from the Quatermass movie. The windy sounds !!!

Oh...here's Mr. ATOZ,

 

and the Guardian from City on the Edge of Forever,

 

and a great link to The Original Series,

I used to like The Next Generation as a kid but I have mostly concluded that Star Trek, in all its incarnations, is rubbish. There are a few TNG's episodes on the prime directive and DS9's episodes on the Maquis are sometimes interesting but that's mostly it for me.

Yeah, that's Quatermass and the Pit. Interestingly, given what you say about how scary it is, and how it's generally thought of as a sf film, it was recently voted the best British horror film of all time, just pipping The Devil Rides Out and The Wicker Man to the top spot.

I think people's favourite Doctor tends to be the one they grew up with - which in my case would be Tom Baker. I've got videos of Hartnell, Troughton and Pertwee but Baker will always be 'my' Doctor, so to speak - although saying that, I doubt whether people a little younger than me will ever consider Peter Davison as 'their' Doctor. In that sense though, I agree about Tennant. He's managed to create a Doctor that will I'm sure become the definitive version for today's teenagers.

I didn't know that ! Well....now I don't feel so bad when I screamed like a little girl first time I saw that flick ! Nah...just joshing, but it is still chilling and I feel vindicated with that honor bestowed on it. Great gif capture btw...that grasshopper Martian thingy at the end above the crane.

Another British flick that frightened me was "The Devil's Bride" (USA title...was that "The Devil Rides Out" ?)....geezus, just as I was writing this I looked it up on another window and sure enough IT IS !! That old Christopher Lee movie !! YIPES...I must be clairvoyant tonight !!!

That movie is based on a banned BBC fly-on-the-wall documentary! Shit like that happens all the time in the home counties of England!
