Remember when...

[arib]

Does anyone else remember that episode of Assignment: Earth, when Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln met those astronauts from the future?
That was a fun concept, whaever happened to those guys?

If I recall correctly, I think they were using that episode of Assignment: Earth as a backdoor pilot, to try to create a show about those astronauts set in the future. But the network didn't seem to go for it.

My guess, though, is that the producers of that 1980s show Galaxy Quest remembered it fondly. Sometimes when I watch that show, I remember that episode of A:E.

You liked that one? I always thought it was kind of meh. Maybe I need to go back and re-watch it - I do remember liking the guy with the ears.

I still haven't picked up the A:E Season 3 box set, which is pretty lame considering I've got all the others and pretty much every one of the books. I've even got one of those old "Sound and light" Servo toys from Playmates :-) Yes, I'm that sad.

What did you think of the movie, BTW? I thought Bruce Greenwood just nailed the role of Gary Seven, but I wasn't as impressed by Zoe Saldaña as Roberta. I know they had to modernise it, but I still think they could have done it in a way that didn't retcon everything that had gone before.

Talking of fun concepts, do you remember that utterly barking episode of U.N.I.T., when they met the Cybermen and got helped out by that alien time traveller? Quite mental, but I reckon they could have made a series out of that. His time ship was brilliant.
