I wonder what would've happened had CBS given the series a better chance? Many shows get off to a slow start (ST:TNG anyone?), only to gain momentum and come up with something quite wonderful. I think the potential was there.<br /><br />I have deep and fond memories of 70s television science fiction ... and miss it quite a bit.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-13234139293084234492017-05-26T13:24:11.508-04:002017-05-26T13:24:11.508-04:00Oh no.

Great dialogue from this episode:“Could man have ever known so much and done so little with it?”<br />Seeing the book with a future city 2500 A.D. in the pilot "Escape From Tomorrow" episode I absolutely agree: "why does the city look so...mid-20th century?"<br />Perhaps they needed a matte painting and a building or two with future exterior entrances. Unfortunately, it was the partially demolished M.G.M. backlot city streets. <br /><br />SGBSGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137406272001346149noreply@blogger.com
