60 Years Ago: Goldfinger (1964) and the Perfect Bond Movie Model
Unlike many film critics, I do not count Goldfinger (1964) as the absolute “best” James Bond film of all-time. You can check out my rankin...

The robots of the 1950s cinema were generally imposing, huge, terrifying, and of humanoid build. If you encountered these metal men,...

Hi Meredith,
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done! You took 6 of the first ten images right of the table. And I threw some curve balls in there...
Whoo-hoo! Excellent!

5. Michael Wright as Elias Taylor: V-The series
ReplyDelete7. Jessica Steen as Jennifer "Pilot" Chase: Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future
11.The Lone Gunmen: The X-Files
12. Virginia Hey as Xan: Farscape
17. Conner Trinneer as Cmdr. Charles "Trip" Tucker III: Star Trek: Enterprise

Howard, you are impressive as always, and you too have just made six correct identifications. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou even got the "V" entry (Michael Wright)which was tough because of the shot/image I selected.
You rock!

JKM
John, actually, it was the image that made me get the shot of Elias, because the show in which he died kicked off about a month of really good episodes of "V," and his death was, essentially, quick and pointless, unlike so many TV resistance-fighter death scenes. I've always rememembered that sequence.
ReplyDeleteAlso, #3 is Gareth Thomas as Roj Blake in "Blake's 7."
ReplyDeleteHi Howard,
ReplyDeleteYou are right about #3 Gareth Thomas as Blake in B7! Excellent.
And you make a terrific point about the death of Elias. "quick and pointless" -- perfect! Yep, and therefore kind of realistic. And I agree with you, it kicked off a great month of V TV back in the day!

ReplyDeleteI see Tara,Anya and Spike from Buffy, and Cordy and Wes from Angel. And I'd say the last pic is Rita from Dexter.
Hi tdraicer:
ReplyDeleteNice job! You just got six more! Excellent. All correct identifications...
Outstanding!

#18 looks like Victor Garber playing Jack Bristow in the series finale of Alias.
ReplyDeleteAdam: You got it, that's Victor Garber as Jack Brisow (an amazing character...) in Alias!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding!

Brother. You were completely up front with your Spoilers warning, but I am regretful that I peeked on one image. What the heck was I thinking!?
ReplyDeleteYou see, your blog is irrisistible.
Nevertheless, I have learned of other demises over time before seeing it happen. It won't detract from my enjoyment. : )
Have a nice Thanksgiving my friend.
SFF:
ReplyDeleteOh man, crud.
I was afraid that could happen to some folks and settled on the warning in the title!
I tried to skew towards older shows, but then thought people might say, "you forgot (that person," so I went right up to 2009.
Bummer. I am soooo sorry if something was spoiled (and I can guess which one it was, I think.)
best,
John
I don't believe anyone has called this one yet, so I'll call out...
ReplyDelete9. Megan Gallagher as Catherine Black in Millennium ("The Time is Now")
Brian,
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this round of cult-TV faces to bed with the correct identification of the beautiful and talented Meghan Gallagher as the tragic Catherine Black.
Great job!
best,
John K. Muir

ReplyDeleteLate to the party, but I don't see anyone as having ID'd Charlie from Lost.
ReplyDeleteBT: I'm glad you came to the party, because I totally forgot that no one had yet id'd Charlie from LOST. Thanks for doing so!!!
ReplyDeleteAll my best,
