Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

No, not those BBCs! I think they are real and not sci-fi.

I'm just a little bit excited that Tomorrow's Worlds and The Thing From Another World are on tonight.

Sad bint alert.

I think this is not Tomorrow's World but a look at the genre.

I miss Tomorrow's World too.

They couldn't really say that migrants and keeping people in poverty would be a better option for keeping people in their place and cheaper for employers.

I am still annoyed that I can't jaunt like a Tomorrow Person or visit Moon Base Alpha.

There was a Star Trek night on BBC2 a few years ago that was great. I do like to geek out now and then.

B&W now is an art statement so if they did make them again then it would be viewed as arthouse.

I have… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like [small cough] tears… in… rain. Time… to die…

Apparently Rutger Hauer ad libbed a lot of it.

Truth is he didn't. He altered a few lines from the original script. It originally went:

I have known adventures, seen places you people will never see,

I've been Offworld and back… frontiers!

I've stood on the back deck of a blinker bound for the Plutition Camps with sweat in my eyes watching the stars fight on the shoulder of Orion…

I've felt wind in my hair, riding test boats off the black galaxies and seen an attack fleet burn like a match and disappear.

I've seen it, felt it

Its still one of the best lines in sci-fi film history.

There are so many director's cut versions that it just gets rolled out on a regular basis.

There's a sequel in the pipeline. Ridley Scott is due to start filming once the second Prometheus movie is finished. The script is complete and apparently Harrison Ford has signed up.

Alien...the classic I agree...couldn't get Dune.?

The Thing and the rather indie Pitch Black with an early vin diesel ? And I know it's controversial but the rather under rated John Carter ?

I have the first 3 series of Blake's 7 on DVD and if you can look beyond the dodgy sets it still holds up quite well (IMHO anyway!)

Theres a story that when Blakes 7 was filming in one of their usual BBC Quarry locations they heard voices. It was the Dr Who crew filming an episode.

I was so looking forward to Prometheus but I agree, it was a bit of an anti climax. Still, it was good to see a film with Noomi Rapace in where she keeps her clothes on

I can honestly say I didn't know who she was until I saw Prometheus. Never seen anything else she's been in either...

Deckard is a replicant, that's what the unicorn dream is about and pointed out when Gant leaves the origami unicorn in the hallway when he (Deckard) finds Rachael.
