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 ...
2. I think this is from an episode of lost in space.
ReplyDelete3. Star Trek pulsar canon?
4. Star Trek phaser (on stun or kill!)
5. Space 1999. I dont remember the name of the weapon but i had one as a kid!
6. Space 1999 as well
8. Run Runner! Logans Run. I think its called a flame gun?

Love your blog, reviews and essays!!! Please keep up the amazing work. Greg
Hi Gregory,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words about my work. I appreciate that, and hope you'll stick around for more.
And as for the Ray Guns -- wow! You took a whole bunch of those ray gun identifications right off the table.
You accurately guessed that #2 is from Lost in Space ("One of Our Dogs is Missing"), # 3 Star Trek ("Where No Man Has Gone Before), # 4 Star Trek ("The Galileo 7"),
In fact, you also got #5, #6, (both Space:1999, "New Adam, New Eve" and "Alpha Child") #8, #9, 10, 13, and 14. Nicely done, sir!
That leaves us left:
# 1
# 7
#12
#15 - #18
All my best,
JKM
7. Blake's 7
ReplyDelete12. Doctor Who (Peter Davison) using a Dalek gun
15. Digitizer from Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future
Let's take a stab at one of the remainders:
ReplyDelete#1 Soldier, Outer Limits Season 2, episode 1 (written by the great Harlan Ellison)
The others look so familiar, but just can't place them.
Thanks, John.
Hello my friends,
ReplyDeleteHoward: You are wonderful as usual. You correctly identified the weapons from Blake's 7 (#7), Dr. Who (Peter Davison!) and the real toughie here: the digitizer from Captain Power. Nicely done!
Le0pard13: Fantastic job on a tough identification there. And you are absolutely right. That's "Soldier" from Outer Limits Season 2, written by HE. Fantastic job!
All my best to you both,
John
#11 - Blake's 7 also?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun and interesting posts as always.
#18 is a Farscape pulse pistol. Not sure of the episode - but perchance that's not just a generic model, but Chricton's Winona?
ReplyDeleteFor some reason #16 looks like Gates McFadden in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone.
ReplyDeleteGotta fix a mix-up first. Howard identified # 7 as Blake's 7. That's actually Dr. Who, "Planet of Evil" (with Prentis Hancock). Russ is right, it is #11 that is Blake's 7. Very good Russ, and sorry about the confusion there! Excellent identification!
Woodchuckgod: Great job identifying Winona on Farscape, and this still is from the fourth sason episode "Chricton Kicks!" Outstanding job!
And Grayson, you got the right show for # 16, Star Trek: the Next Generation. But that's not the beautiful Gates McFadden. We'll se if anyone else guesses...
Great job to all!
best,
John
