"The model work in some of the city scenes is awful.
Yeah, it has been all along, very unconvincing.
Teresdon attacks the city
This is not a great monster design, uninspired. In addition, Ultraman beats him without working up a sweat (meaning his…"
Some seismologists detect a mysterious underground disturbance. Kai and Beck are sent to investigate. There's a tremor while they're in a cave. Kai disapppears and Beck feels guilty.
Kai finds himself the prisoner of some…"
"Nick Cagnetti's art has more than a little Kirby in it, and it's suffused with the wild neons of a Marvel black-light poster.
That "Kirby/blacklight" look remionds me very much of Nightworld released by Image a couple of years ago.*
"Roger, the director, is played by Jeffrey Combs...
I recognized Combs' name from the opening credits but didn't remember who he was, exactly, and didn't recognize him when he came onscreen. Tracy, OTOH, didn't see his name in the credits (and…"
A team of documentarians is in Guyana, where they have found the monster Chandra (a.k.a. Chandlar and Powered Chandlar), another old Ultraman monster. Roger, the director, is played by Jeffrey Combs, who played…"
"Do These Kids Today™ look on these kinds of stories as classics? Or as boring junk from "ancient" times?
My opinion? I don't think "These Kids Today™" look on these stories at all."
"In what few episodes of Bonanza I watched first run, Ben had only two sons (as far as I knew), Hoss and Little Joe. Years later, I recall being surprised that there was a third, older son. A few years ago, Tracy and I watched all of Bonanza from the…"
"I forgot to mention last time that the first few seconds of the opening credits are obviously designed to evoke the opening of the original show.
WINR, which stands for "Worldwide Investigation Network Response", which is pronounced "Winner".
WINR,…"
"I'll have to wait until it comes up in rotation, but I'll keep an eye peeled. The arc you described reminds my of Lost in Space: S1, b&w, serious; S2, color, campy; S3, more serious."
We open with Sanders being interviewed by a TV reporter. She "hilariously" gets his name wrong. Apparently, monster attacks are a common thing in this series. Also, WINR's existence is publicly known.…"
"THE WILD, WILD WEST: I was flipping through the listings when I saw S1, E1 was set to air. I do remember watching some of the later episodes first run with my brother, but at five years old I was too young to follow the plots. Years later I watched…"
Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
