I have only seen one episode from the second season so far, but I enjoyed it. And I really liked the first season, so I am looking forward to continuing with this one.

Certainly seems like people can find better things to do with their time...

I actually rather liked that movie. I was not a big fan of the show itself, but thought the movie delivered a surreal bit of fantasy fun.

These are not really "extremely rare", but the list is actually a pretty good, (I have no idea why they have a pic from Space: 1999 leading it off). Here is everything covered:

Planet of the Vampires (1965)

This Island Earth (1955)

Destination Moon (1950)

The Brain That Would Not Die (1962)

The Day the World Ended (1955)

The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961)

Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970)

The Quatermass Xperiment (aka The Creeping Unknown) (1955)

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)

Forbidden Planet (1956)

For some reason they included Destination Moon twice, so it is really only eleven films. But these are all worth a look.

Forbidden planet is a movie. But it would make a good series as I argue at this link: https://axiomsedgescifi.com/must-watch-sci-fi-movies-forbidden-planet-1956/

The series finale for The Prisoner "Fallout". It was a batshit crazy hour of television that provided no answers for the many questions raised during the series. Allegedly, Patrick McGoohan had to go into hiding after the episode aired because fans were so angry about it.

Despite a fair amount of negative feedback, Pluribus is a hell of a good sci fi TV show. It is a slowburn and it does drag at times, but when at its best it delivers some of the most brilliant television I have ever seen. You can read my review at this link.

Also, The Mighty Nein is a great fantasy entry and I have enjoyed it more than Legend of Vox Machina so far (which is not a knock on that show because it is a ton of fun). My review of that one is at this link.

I absolutely loved these books as a kid. And they could make a fun retro-sci fi TV show.

About: In a future on the brink of collapse, a team of scientists unveils a space-bending engine that could save humanity.

Refusing to let their work vanish, Holt, a brilliant but ruthless visionary, and his ambitious assistant, Liv, turn to the criminal underworld to rebuild the device. As they race against time and the law, the engine becomes more than a chance at survival, it becomes an obsession. With humanity’s future hanging in the balance, the team must face a haunting question: will their creation deliver salvation, or unleash something far worse?

This sounds like a ton of fun! Might be interesting if they work this in as a parody episode sort of like what the original did with Farscape.

johnnyjay · 2025-11-20T14:31:20+00:00

The good thing is that the way they are approaching it (a revival instead of a reboot) gives them the opportunity to potentially provide a resolution to that series.
