Wow.. #2 is from Lost in Space. #3 is from Ark ][ (I just watched that episode recently). What a great series that was. It took YEARS of talking to other people about Ark ][ before anyone else I knew remembered it. I'm sure that series is what cemented my love for post-apocalyptic world. :-)
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should know #4 and #5, but my brain isn't cooperating. #1 I have no idea.

On pure guess work I'd go with...
ReplyDelete#1 The Twilight Zone
#4 Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
#5 Battlestar Galactica
...but have no idea about the episode or character names.
Hey Dave:

I believe #4 is Space Academy.

1. Twilight Zone: "Twenty Two"
2. Lost in Space: "The Space Croppers"
3. Ark II: "The Drought"
4. Space Academy: "Life Begins at 300"
5. Battlestar Galactica: "Gun on Ice Planet Zero Part 2.

Being a fan of WWII movies, as a kid I really enjoyed the "Gun on Ice Planet Zero" episode of BSG with its 'Guns of Navarone' meets 'The Dirty Dozen' plot line.
ReplyDeleteI think Lucifer may be my all time favorite Galactica character.-Unk
