That is AWESOME! It's so bad, it's good! There is nothing so fascinating as people earnestly trying to make something so awful believable and entertaining. That's half the fascination of Dr. Who, after all. The turkish Mr. Spock needs a better hairstylist, and Captain Kirk -- well, he's just atrocious. All the more amusing.
I nearly fell off my chair when they beamed down to the planet -- They appear on the main street in Ephesus! I guess that's one thing they would have over the US produstion: they sure wouldn't need a soundstage to evoke the ruins of a decaying ancient civilization. I wonder how they would manage to keep the goats out of the shots, though?
And you know, Mike: as awful as this is, we would have still watched it three times a day if we'd been Turkish kids in the 70's.
So here's the deal: your at your office. It's Friday afternoon-- maybe you're new to your job and you're going to push your limits. Go to : http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~sf-papercraft/Gallery/at-at/at-at.html Print about 20 copies of each page Get out the scissors and the uhu stick Stage a terrific battle. Go home for the weekend. Maybe they'll take you back on Monday.
A-Morning From A-Channel or A-TV or whatever it will be after the next takeover has been canceled effective IMMEDIATELY. The A-Morning crew would crow over how many episodes they had ("This is Episode 120, Eric!"). I thought that they were feeling that Wile-E.-Coyote-off-the-cliff sensation too. When the last owner of the channel had to cut back they nailed the morning show. Then a new owner rolled out a morning show in markets like Victoria. They dusted off the format and started doing the show again. Monday morning, I popped into a Thrifty's where Maggie Cox was wrapping up her live spot. There she was amid more lights than a Hollywood premier and more cables than a Frankenstein movie. All of her gear and personal effects filled a shopping buggy. I felt a little bit of pity. When I see the same people in front of the camera at 6AM and 5PM and 11PM, I think: "Where is Labour Relations? How can these people be forced to pepper a 17 hour day with three newscasts?"
