Fond memories of Lost In Space.

I think it's interesting how both Star Trek and Lost in Space were clearly influenced by Forbidden Planet. It's also interesting how they didn't both take the same elements. ST took the space navy motif, but LiS took the flying saucer and the robot.

Sometimes literally.

I can see why there'd be temporary Kristen crushes.

But to think of even ONE poster's Cartwright crush NOT being permanent defies reality. This is AC. I'd sooner believe Scotty hit the Klingons because they insulted Kirk.:cool:
Because as an adult she's a cute kid but it's not the kind of crush you have when you're the same age.

It's funny because Robby the robot, (the one on the left :)) has actually appeared in other programs besides LIS and Forbidden Planet. He was also on an episode of Columbo, I think and a few others.

Robot on the other hand hadn't appeared in much, but did cameo on The Simpsons a couple of times and they did a TV commercial with him..

No, in LIS. The big dome in the middle of the control deck was similar to that big globe in FP.
 
And, come to think of it, the suspended animation tubes in LIS were similar to those hyperlight tubes, or whatever they called them, in FP.

Yep. I was going to mention those too, but I felt the need to look up the respective names for them and that intended post just kinda died on the vine! :lol:
 
Where was the Astrogator dome in Trek?
The closest equivalent in Trek was the mechanism positioned between the helmsman (normally Sulu) and the navigator (eventually filled by Chekov). I don't think it was ever identified on screen, but Franz Joseph listed it as an astrogator in the StarFleet Technical Manual.

With the release of "The Motion Picture", that component finally got a transparent hemispheric cover.

Wait... "Astrogator"? Wasn't that the Gorn? :p
 
The other staple was women in tight spacesuits...... Check any of the scifi posters from the 50s and 60s.. One of my favourite movies is The Green Slime....... That poster, well it just sucked me in for the movie.
