Alright, I lied. My tale is about One Degree.
So, I'm settling down to view Disc #10 of the Space 1999 series
received from Netflix. I've already plowed through the first five
DVDs in my UFO Megaset and want to take my time on the remainder.
About five minutes into the first episode on the disc, "All That
Glisters," I'm thinking, "This series could not possibly get any
cheesier."
It suddenly hits me. The horny dude going after Catherine Schell is
Cass from "The Square Triangle." I love how Gerry recycles actors. My
only question is, "Why couldn't it have been Gabrielle Drake?"
So I watch a little more of the UFO episode cuz, even though I've
seen it recently, it's far more interesting than Space 1999. Here's a
couple thoughts:
o Why did they dub Lt. Ford's voice? Although I don't know his name
offhand, the voice used is the same person vocalizing for villanous
operatives in the James Bond film series.
o Is that not the coolest Oldsmobile Toronado? I remember my
Grandfather, who worked his entire adult life for the Packard
Electric Division of General Motors Corp., talking about how advanced
the car was in the late 1960s. Although he never bought a Toronado,
Granddad did have a string of some wonderful Buick Wildcats. Someone
in the UFO production staff surely had an affection for American
automobiles.
o Speaking of cars, why are they driving on the "American Side" of
the road?
Tis all. Ciao.

"Imagine a dying planet in some distant corner of the universe. Its natural resources exhausted. Its inhabitants sterile. Doomed to extinction. A situation we may one day find ourselves in, gentlemen. So they discover earth. Abundant, fertile. Able to satisfy their needs. They look upon us not with animosity, but callousness. As we look upon our animals that we depend on for food. Yes, it appears they are driven by circumstance across a billion miles of space, driven on by the greatest force in the universe - survival."
