Gave a kid something wonderful to look forward to (even ST:OS chose "200 years" instead of following S F W A 's insistence that such trips are impossible or will be feasible only millenia from now . . .)<br />So the question goes begging : "Dude , where s my Flying Car?" Since X FILES brought it up I feel free to do so too. . . Who's sitting on the "future"? (Note the interesting Outer Limits study found at "Secret Sun" plus forum)...<br />Thanks too for being good to Fred Bier...he has gotten some flack on this role and I liked him a lot on The Outer Limits. <br />bruce gilbertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894621586638442560.post-31122457752859175162018-07-06T22:29:04.585-07:002018-07-06T22:29:04.585-07:00First-rate episode; it really is a quintessential ...First-rate episode; it really is a quintessential Twilight Zone type of story.octobercountryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730345596655835129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894621586638442560.post-86782803774305937832013-02-08T12:51:27.396-08:002013-02-08T12:51:27.396-08:00Yeah it probably wouldn't be much different fr...Yeah it probably wouldn't be much different from an episode like Elegy without all the character interaction, and its the character stuff that really makes Death Ship for me.Joel Benedict Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09604942843905796635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894621586638442560.post-10757695848282839522013-02-08T07:02:05.324-08:002013-02-08T07:02:05.324-08:00Shortened to half an hour, "Death Ship" ...Shortened to half an hour, "Death Ship" would still be great, but then you'd lose all the characterization (which to me elevates the material above a simple clever ghost story).Craig Beamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01039251711343080950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894621586638442560.post-86173281823310882012013-02-07T17:56:05.042-08:002013-02-07T17:56:05.042-08:00Definitely the best of the season and one I couldn...Definitely the best of the season and one I couldn't fathom seeing working as a half-hour nearly as well.
