Thanks for another cosmically cracking show, Professor! I never bought these at the time as, despite the big creative names involved, it all sounded a tad generic. Having heard your summation and appraisal of the first two issues, it sounds as if I made the right decision. I’m sure some people loved this stuff, but some people love such slow sci-if as Gravity and 2001.
ReplyDeleteYour point about not getting to know the characters bar the leader and psychic lady - Phaedra? - sounded about right given what you’d said… the rest don’t sound to be in there much at all. Spanner’s Galaxy, Star Huntrers, who can tell these ragtag Blake’s 7 reveal apart? Atari Force, mind, the second team was great.
So, more next time? Presumably there must be a real uptick in quality, or some interesting talking point…
Are you dissing Star Hunters and Spanner's Galaxy? If so, we may have words!
DeleteNow, I never said anything mean about them. I try all this stuff. Even Seeker 3000.
ReplyDeleteWhew, that's a relief -- we can still be friends!
