Kevin Trotter Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 Any of you who are Gerry Anderson fans(Thunderbirds, Space 1999) might be interested in the recent release of the only season of"UFO". UFO was a 60's sci-fi series about the covert SHADO or supreme headquarters alien defence organization, that employed space based air based and sub based interceptors that battled a strange alien race who was secretly attacking Earth. It was ahead of it's time in a lot of ways and the tech was way cool(at least it was back then) The dark nature of a lot of the stories was way different than any show of it's era. Many of the Space 1999 actors were featured here as well. Check it out it's worth a look.
Menchise Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 I find Gerry Anderson's shows to be a mixed bag. Thunderbirds is way cool, but UFO sucks in my opinion (dull actors; boring plots; and over-recycled special effects that made Thunderbirds look like Star Wars). I admit that the tech was cool, and at least it wasn't as bad as Space 1999. I used to like them both, but I just got sick of them over time. [ 11-05-2002, 10:18 AM: Message edited by: Menchise ]
ShoHashi Posted November 5, 2002 Report Posted November 5, 2002 Well, Race, I'm a UFO and Space: 1999 fan. I thought both shows were excellent. Do you know if UFO has been released on DVD yet or will be?
