A Routine Expedition
I never watched Land Of The Lost, but last week when the SCIFI channel had a marathon I tuned in to see the credits sequence, which cracks me up. I stuck around long enough to notice that some impressive names wrote the episodes--Larry Niven, David Gerrold, D. C. Fontana, Ben Bova, Norman Spinrad, Theodore Sturgeon--I had no idea.

I watched two episodes over lunch (nostalgia for me), and was surprised that the episode I watched had been written by Walter Koenig (Chekov from Star Trek!).
I used to watch that show with robbie and hobby. We were the right age. I watched a few pieces this weekend and realize now how bad it really was. I have no planz to see the movie.

Hey, a buck's a buck.
The premise is extremely clever (albeit impossible): suppose that towards the end of the Age of Dinosaurs, one reptilian species evolved as bipeds, then evolved human-level intelligence, and eventually its greatest scientist invented time travel?
Meanwhile, there are also hairy pre-human but almost intelligent primates running around as well.
I remember being spellbound by the time-travel episode when I was a kid.
I watched five minutes of an episode this weekend. Holly was hanging from a rope down some tunnel. The rope snapped. They showed a blonde doll wearing the same clothes as Holly going end over end down the tunnel. I think we did better special effects in my college roommate's student films at NYU.
