70's Sci-Fi!

Well, I love this theme, even though it's like getting sprayed with a massive Cheez Whiz bomb. The graphics are great too. Music and graphics both really 70's.

This is going to an interesting Blog to peruse. It's amazing, for a guy who loved the 70s, how much genre stuff in TV and movies that I didn't like or didn't even bother with. The literature was a different story, especially in the early 70s when New Wave was still kicking; also in comics, with Marvel's cosmic heroes and Guardians and Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction.
Adam Warlock really used to wig me out.
I was in shock last night, because it seems that I had never seen the first 5 minutes of the Buck Rogers in the 25th century pilot, so although the lyrics to that song was nice, the women in tight revealing clothing raping Buck in his sleep while they all rolled around on a huge cutaway of his name was surreal.
It's was like a car catalogue calendar, or how models at a boat show shimmy, the way they were posing on that installation of his name, the title credits.
And I don't care if he was kissing them back, you don't do that to a sleeping person without written and notorized permission.

Quark's plot (the pilot) is a hell of a lot like Star Wars.
A scummy space captain gets in touch with a god like power source that gives him powers to take on a massive space ship the size of a small moon...
They both came out in '77.
Homage or serendipity?
I found it odd seeing Mindy's dad so at home in space when he was always such an ass to Mork.
(i just had this dread premonition that they are making a Mork and Mindy Block Buster movie! ...False alarm.)

The also did a Shore Leave sytled ep., a 2001 spoof and they spoofed Planet Of The Apes too. Red Dwarf really picked up where Quark left off with all their spoofing.
I remember Quark, mostly for the twins, but I liked it at the time for the spoof it was on Sci Fi shows then current and past. Another early 80's camp show I liked was Wizards and Warriors which was hilarious for me as a D&D fan.

Starlin did some wiggy stuff back in the day. The strips he did for Star*Reach were even wiggier. In later years, he got a bit more conventional and started to repeat himself, unfortunately (it's always that church story), but he's still an amazing artist and storyteller.
Top 5 side arms from the 1970s and the blaster from Blake's 7 is absent?
I said good day sir.
I said good day sir.
One of the funniest scenes EVER!
I almost hurt myself.
I loved how they always managed to beam Quark down into a pond or something.
It was a fun show full of sci fi spoofs, but yeah, it got painfully unfunny at times.
Yeah, Quark was very hit and miss. Stuff like:
Quark: "Oh, it's over there, next to the Roddenberry bush."
or
Villian: "Surrender, or my ship will destroy your planet."
Planet's Leader: "Ship? What ship? All we see is a small orange moon in orbit."
Villian: "That's my ship"
Planet's Leader: "Give us five minutes to move our stuff out of the Palace."
Oh, okay. See, I didn't know that. Is it worth my picking up the DVD's? I tried looking for it on YouTube, but that site seems to be having trouble. It keeps locking up on me.
Just 8 episodes.
8 horrific episodes.
