R.I.P. George Romero & Martin Landau

I can still mock them for such ideas as  the opening windows on a moon base, and a bomb explosion sending the moon off at FTL speeds.

Could happen.  There's no air out there, you know.

I also liked Space: 1889.

grumbler hated it with a passion, but he wasn't a kid, then.  When he was a kid he hated his hoop and stick.

Funny that you are the one who cannot tell the difference between mocking and hating.  I thought Space: 1949 was ludicrous and badly written (though decently acted), but wasn't in the target audience.  I can still mock them for such ideas as  the opening windows on a moon base, and a bomb explosion sending the moon off at FTL speeds.

To be fair to Space: 1999, it's nuclear waste triggering a massive thermonuclear explosion, not just a bomb explosion.
IMO, the ludicrous and badly written is more and more present in the second season, or series for the Brits.

Space 1999 is better than Babylon 5.

Space 1999 is better than Babylon 5.

If only for having Gabrielle Drake in it (not)*.

Babylon 5's plot is pedestrian and the characters are wooden.

Grumbler, will you teach to me to shoot straight before I duel this clown?

[Eddie Teach]

Babylon 5's plot is pedestrian and the characters are wooden.

And the effects look like they were done by a high school a/v club.

Grumbler, will you teach to me to shoot straight before I duel this clown?

Oh no, a duel! I may shat myself in fear of atheist nagging!

I must contemplate this on the tree of woe.

[Ed Anger]

Game of Thrones is even lamer than Babylon 5

[grumbler]

Space 1999 is better than Babylon 5.

Obvious troll is obvious.  You'll have to do a lot better than that.

Yes, it is well-known that nuclear waste is MUCH more powerful and explosive than mere thermonuclear weapons.
