30 Years Ago: Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)
The tenth birthday of cinematic boogeyman Freddy Krueger should have been a big deal to start with, that's for sure. Why? Well, in the ...

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.
