It's one of the few space based shows where they are vaguely realistic about travel times. Space is so huge that even with faster than light speed, travel will still take a long time. Even at 10 times the speed of light it would take 6 months to get to Proxima Centauri (our closest star). Even...

At least they're not completely trading off the original name. The fact that they're willing to give this a different title suggests that it might be a remake "in concept only". I'll be disappointed if it turns out to be basically the same story as the original, especially if they try to keep...

The trailer doesn't give a lot away so far, but I'll give it a go just based on the fact that it's Lost in Space. Which sounds like I'm enabling all the producers that are too lazy to come up with an original show and just reboot whatever they can. But it will have to be a worthwhile reboot to...

The 2005 version was a long way from perfect but they got the characters and their relationships mostly right. Biggest issues were the pacing and villain (and Galactus, but I suspect if they'd gone to a 3rd movie, they may have remedied that and we'd have found out that we hadn't seen Galactus -...

Yeah I thought that was pretty awful. Given the limited effects budget they had they could have saved themselves some money and just blurred the stars or something. Using something that looks like chemical propulsion to power a ship that has to be travelling faster than light was just silly...

So I finally got to sit down last night and watch the second episode. Still moving along quite slowly and we're gradually being given more information as we go. We get to meet Avon for the first time and he's got just the right amount of cynicism for me to like him. We're beginning to see the...

Can't speak for other regions but here in New South Wales the only flavour I've ever seen is the yellow one which looks like a similarly coloured liquid that is expelled after drinking it. And while I can't compare the tastes I honestly can't imagine that one tastes worse than the other.

I never understood why they decided to make a children's movie out of this. Thunderbirds has all the elements needed for a big budget action movie. Make it a terrorist attack resulting in people trapped somewhere. Send in the Thunderbirds to do the rescue while Lady Penelope investigates the...

As I understand it, the failure rate of 2% was low enough to keep it from being significant enough to warrant investigation. The actual rate should be much lower, but is being artificially inflated. It makes the Russians look bad because they don't appear to be putting anything in place to...

The other thing to remember is that this was a BBC show. They're not allowed to advertise, so they can't make money from shows other than by selling them overseas and on video. So, unlike most American shows, unless there was an expectation of overseas sales, budgets were significantly more...

That was the impression I got. The cops go out and collect the body and any evidence, which is then entered into the computer which determines whether further investigation is needed. In this case it seems that no one entered any information about the normal swimming routine of the victim and...

So is Alexa confirming the existence of Skynet? The answer seems to imply "yes there is a Skynet, but that's a separate system!"

2027 is currently looking a little ambitious in reality for what we've seen so far on the show but it's probably not out of the question by 2050.

You know when a movie has passed into permanent pop culture when your 11yo (who has never seen the movie) says to your 8yo standing on a rock next to the ocean "put your arms out and say 'I'm the king of the world'"

As an Australian, I'm astonished that I hadn't heard of this. I'll need to see where I can find it. It looks great.

I have to say I really enjoyed the first episode and I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before. Not sure if it ever screened in Australia (although the ABC had a tendency to pick up every BBC show at that time). But if it did screen, perhaps I was getting too mature and cool (at 17) to watch a...

It's not the sort of thing I'd generally watch but it seems like an interesting concept.

Forget Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Where is my Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator movie!

Given the word of mouth this has already received I'm surprised a sequel wasn't announced even before this was released. Advice that a great many studios could benefit from listening to.

For some reason I never really got into Land of the Giants. Strange because what I have seen of it seems pretty good. Whatever time it was on during repeats during my younger years must have clashed with something more important to me.
