  I was a junior in high school when those things came out  ('69).

Man, and I thought I was old...

knightstorm must be trolling - it's obviously Shatner.

If the question were who thinks he is more awesome it would be a toss up.  (I am going to forward the Hasselhof picture to my youngest sister, she used to be quite a fan of his).

Hasselhoff bought the rights to Baywatch which had been cancelled after its first season, revived the show in syndication, and added slow motion footage of Pamela Anderson's bouncing fake tits, earning himself a fortune.  That has to get him awesomeness points.

Now THAT would could present some real issues!  Let's face it I doubt Hasselhoff could handle the competition ...  and if he did Trump would "fire" him !

ROFLCOPTER Good to see the SFC community hasn't changed in the slightest. 12 pages of trolling and arguments about some of the most unimportant fluff. Yet I really struggled to find a definitive answer to the OP's question.



IS ANYBODY STILL PLAYING?



Let's see if we can get 2 pages of answers on topic lol, I know I'm asking the impossible but I thought I'd try.  :crazy2:

No Star Trek show had a consistant on going storyline until DS9 began emulating B5. In the '60's, Lost in Space had an on going storyline, sidetracked quite a bit, but always returned to consistantly.

Must admit that I haven't watched more than scattered episodes since I was a kid.  Even then I don't think that I saw them sequentially so any ongoing storyline was either not noticed by me or forgotten (beyond the get to Alpha Centauri bit). 

I am now watching it sequentially.  Interestingly Alpha and Proxima Centauri are referred to as a Binary Star when it is in fact a Trinary with Beta Centauri.

I'm watching episode 8 now and Professor Robinson is using a very modern looking headset to operate the chariots loud speaker, very slim and trim in design.


They drifted away a lot more as the show went on, but the mission to get back home was about as cohesive as the mission to find Earth in the original BSG. It was there, but didn't factor into everything they did. A far as the headset mic, those or similar ones were invented for the space race (by Plantronics I believe?), so I'm not surprised they used what fancy new gadgets they could to make it look futuristic. IIRC the Proxima system was thought only to be a binary until not to long ago. Beta was known, but not as orbiting its brothers. Didn't the Hubble help with determining that?

I've watched most of the series sequentially now.  There was very little consistency.  Yes they were always trying to get to Alpha Centaurii.   The Enterprise always had exploration as their mission too (sometimes sidetracked but always there).  How did the robot from his "university" education have knowledge of intergalactic law when Earth had no contact with ETs?  Lots of little inconsistencies.  They even had all their weapons taken away from them at least once but they had them replaced without comment next time they needed them. 

By comparison B5 when Commander Ivanova had her leg injured had it carry on between episodes.  I think the repairs to B5 after the one battle were background in the next episode.  The alien machine to save her life wasn't just pulled out of the air it had a backstory of use in two other episodes (with June Lockhart being its first user).  Even Garibaldi losing his hair and going grey between seasons was explained.

Ivanova's injury was a necessary evil. Claudia Christian really did hurt herself badly enough to need crutches and they worked it into the show. B5 was a very cohesive show. JMS put things in the first season that didn't pay off until the fourth and fifth seasons.

Other shows would have just written her out or showed her only sitting or standing.  They made it part of the continuity.

When Siddig El Fadil knocked up Nana Visitor, DS9 had Keiko O'Brien's baby transferred to Major Kira.
