UFO was Gerry Anderson’s first live action television series (he typically worked with puppets, creating shows like Stingray, Terrahawks, Thunderbirds, and others). The series revealed around S.H.A.D.O (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organisation) and its mission to protect the Earth from alien invaders. It’s a show I enjoyed growing up, particular due to the remarkable theme […]
David Cronenberg has to rank among the best directors not working nearly as often as he should though I must admit that I didn’t prefer his shift toward more realistic fare with movies like A History of Violence and Eastern Promises. It’s not those were movies were bad more than Cronenberg appeared to be like […]
Gerry Anderson’s Space: 1999 ranks among the best science fiction series every made (in my point of view). It’s not perfect by any stretch yet perfect for the time it appeared and well worth revisiting. That being said, this is an audio drama not a television series or movie but if you’re a fan of […]
Star Trek is a mess. There, I’ve said it. It’s a Gordian knot of tangled timelines–Is it Prime? Is it Kelvin? Do you care any longer?–managed by people who apparently care more about monetizing it than actually building a living, viable world within its boundaries. I lean more into Gerry Anderson than Gene Roddenberry (I […]
Currently King_Arthur’s Modular Eagle Transporter project over at LEGO Ideas has 2373 supporters–which is awesome and shows not only support for the great work he has done but much love for one of the most iconic spacecraft in science fiction. Above is a photo of the Eagle Transporter from Space: 1999 And here’re King_Arthur’s […]
Since joining Lego Ideas five years ago, the user known as King_Arthur has created other projects, but none has attracted as much attention as his most recent, which is a Lego-ized version of the Eagle Transporter from Gerry Anderson’s Space: 1999. Here is his version below, and I think you’ll agree it’s a pretty faithful reproduction. […]
If you have ever seen Gerry Anderson’s Terrahawks you’re familiar with Zelda of Gak, an android who’s numerous attempts to invade Earth were thwarted by Dr. Tiger Ninestein and his team, known as the Terrahawks. Speaking of Zelda, she recently released a video from her base on Mars denying any involvement with or connection to the Trump […]
Support LEGO potentially creating a LEGO-ized version of the Eagle Transporter from Space: 1999, one of the most awesome and iconic spaceships in television history. No matter if your preference is for the more cerebral Year One… Or more dynamic Year Two, you can’t go wrong. Though most fans of Gerry […]
Gerry Anderson, it could be argued, was one of the first producers of science fiction to see what a tremendous role hardware design, such as spaceships, could play. In virtually all his television series and movies, design has been crucial (more often than not, to the detriment of character development). In fact, the Eagle from Space: 1999, […]
I am genuinely psyched for movies like Ant-Man, Captain America: Civil War and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice but what I am even more interested in is something that we won’t be seeing on the big screen, and that’s Gerry Anderson’s Firestorm. Originally sold by creators Anderson and John Needham to a Japanese company, it was […]
