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...

Last year at around this time (or a month earlier, perhaps), I posted galleries of cinematic and TV spaceships from the 1970s, 1980s, 1...

The robots of the 1950s cinema were generally imposing, huge, terrifying, and of humanoid build. If you encountered these metal men,...
I absolutely love that you included the older Jake Sisko (Tony Todd) from DS9's THE VISITOR episode, John. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteAh, photos for the new year... let's see now...
ReplyDelete#6) I know is from TNG, but apart from a vague 'Dorian Grey' impression, I'm getting nothing further.
#7) An old Dr. Pulaski from ST:TNG
#11 & #12) John & Aeryn from Farscape (episode : "The Locket" if I'm not mistaken)
Hi Le0pard 13: I love that episode. It's my favorite ep of DS9 and my candidate for best episode, actually. I want to do a cult-tv flashback on it soon..."
ReplyDeleteHi Woodchuckgod -- new photos for a new year, indeed! You recognized Dr. Pulaski from TNG "Unnatural Selection" and also John and Aeryn of Farscape from the heart-breaking (and great episode) "The Locket." Nicely done!
best to you both,
JKM
That TNG episode? As I understand it, the character was originally written as James T. Kirk but, fortunately, the script underwent a few changes...
ReplyDelete6. Admiral Mark Jameson (Clayton Rohner) from Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Too Short a Season" (1988)
#4) John Koenig, Space: 1999 episode 'Black Sun'

Excellent. Aging is always a fascinating subject. I really look forward to The Locket.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is certain, some make-up artists were indeed far better than others, while others may have been going with something more sinister based on the story thread.
I think Space:1999 takes it as one of the best. Cheers my friend. SFF
2. William Shatner as James T. Kirk (Star Trek:"The Deadly Years")
ReplyDelete3. Cathy Lee Crosby as Helen Surtees, "The Youth Stealer," in "Kolchak:The Night Stalker"
8-9. Scully and Mulder from "The X-Files."
I recognize the Star Trek and X-Files images.
ReplyDeleteHere's one you didn't list: "Brief Candle" from the first season of Stargate SG-1, which is a Deadly Years-type episode, although I realize you haven't really watched G-1. To be fair, although I remembered the episode, I had to look up the title.
