Amen! Mr Nozaki's art design and Mr Harper Goff set such a high bar. Its not just the elegance but the practicality functionality, awe, fear and Wow factor hasn't been surpassed since. Add Matt Jefferies original USS Enterprise NCC-1701 concept in balance proportions, functionality. and just plain elegance. Caviar for the imagination. But later generations, keep trying!

I watched Irwin Allens shows a lot as a kid, I just wished for VTTBOTS he kept it more serious and the monster of the week show.

I loved George Pal, especially his version of the Martians from War of the Worlds.

You sad sacks are about as pleasant as a horrible bowel movement. You’re just glad when it’s over.
