The Photoshop Thread, Part V

[CuriousCaitian]

At least at the time of Red Dwarf season 5 DVD release (2005-ish?), the first pilot was still retained - hence higher quality clips used in a documentary. A shame they didn't get the rights to both and have them as extras. And to think Linwood Boomer developed the US version and co-wrote the pilots, he's the same guy behind "Night Court" and "3rd Rock From the Sun" - two hilarious shows (IMHO). At times he's onto something but a lot of the jokes, especially those ported from the original, just didn't translate.

Some YouTube channels feature both pilots. Amazed anyone had them to leak them. Hinton as Cat was pretty good, but Farrell as Cat just feels more original and not trying to do the impossible of outdoing Danny John-Jules. The actors were all rather good, but the scripts were so flat and the characters were just walking diorama parts. The 2nd pilot improves on this, partly due to changing Cat so dramatically. Both pilots are lacking but both aren't as rotten as their reputations suggest. The 2nd one might have taken off if the network bought it, but they did not.

I shall have to seek them out. Thanks for the info, fellow smeghead! :-D

Only because I'm 35 years late to the party. Never really cared for the show as a kid, I was in my Daffy Duck phase. Yes, "He-man" iss aimed at kids and almost too simplistic in prose and character names, but at the same time it has some great messages, no hidden jokes for adults (which seems odd!), and when DC Fontana and JMS write for a show they usually do it with some panache that makes it watchable for all ages... it's hard not to be a fan and the animation development techniques used to cut costs for both shows were somewhat clever... still wish it'd come out on blu-ray proper.

That and I was hesitant to jumble in imagery from "Fat Albert", another show I adore but not for a while yet...

Oh, I also did some classic TOS homage - TAS Kirk is a mirror image to get the perspective right...

Yeah, you didn't fix his delta. Good job.

Speaking of "deltas"

Somebody needs to do a photoshop fix for "Tomorrow is Yesterday" with a F-106 i9nstead of the F-104. I don't think an F-104 ever carried an air-to-air nuke--but I could be wrong:

The F-106 could self land--even without a computer
