2. I think this is from an episode of lost in space.
ReplyDelete3. Star Trek pulsar canon?

6. Space 1999 as well

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
