As a result, she and I have been watching through the series through 2010 and we're almost finished. It's been fun watching how the future world was depicted from the 60's and all the explosions and elaborate rescue scenes and setups.
One thing I had considered was reviewing the episodes as we watched through them but I might have to wait for a re-run sometime in the future.
I was also inspired last year to look up some other old sci-fi shows in order to give them another look. First, there was Dark Skies, a series based around real Earth events in the 60's and 70's involving aliens and conspiracy theories. I've managed to track down some copies of the series but haven't begun to watch through them again.
The second show was Space: Above and Beyond. This show was on in the mid 90's from memory and my father caught the odd episode or two but I never really got into it. I was following Star Trek: The Next Generation and Babylon 5 at the time. I have managed to start watching through the short series of Space... and I'm interested in seeing where the series ends up, as it was cut short after its first season.
Finally, there's Star Trek. There are very few episodes I haven't seen from all the Trek franchises, but The Original Series has the most holes in it. I've recently managed to get my hands on the remastered blu-ray collection and look forward to going through those episodes, hopefully with Eleonor too! (I've spared her from Space: Above and Beyond for the moment.)
So, 2011 could see this blog evolve a little to include some episodic reviews of some old fashioned sci-fi, with fresh/new eyes.
I'll see how I go anyway...
