If we're in the '50s, would that be "never trust anyone over twenty"?
1930s: "Never trust anyone who's been born!"
Technically, that second one applies in any decade or century.
If only you were more familiar with The Godfather, you could've sprinkled your post with quotes and in-jokes.
Ah, that's true.
It was sounded after Dr. Stiles failed to respond to a scheduled security check.
Yeah, but wasn't the purpose of being there for a year to learn all that stuff?
Security Chief Goldman may be looking for a new job after this....
Luckily there's another government agency that's six million dollars over budget.
Kirk looked just a tad misty eyed.
It sounds like it was a good moment.
If more than a little contrived.
True, they didn't come up with much justification.
"We'll just wait for Barry to take us back to our own time."
"And if he arrives yesterday, we won't even have to wait."
A bit easier on the eyes, if I may be so shallow.
Appreciating beauty isn't shallow, just irreligious.
They handwaved it away as being a "lost art" in this future era.
Hmm, could be. We didn't see much of their broad culture, except that they had bred out emotions, which means they would lack inspiration.
About the size of a shaving kit, I think.
I wonder why they're bothering with the Time Tunnel if they have that kind of technology.
In this case, it was about assembling some conductors and nonconductors to toss through the field and short it out.
Okay, at least they came up with some reasonable technobabble.
Capped, though I've never actually seen the film.
It's entertaining. I don't know if I'd call it required viewing, but it's definitely a classic.
He swims with the...what swims in quicksand?
In
Lost In Space, there was some kind of an ape creature.
Guess they could go back for him if they managed to get it working themselves, and if they gave a crap. But really, he had a narrow mindset and wasn't thinking things through.
Yeah, I don't think they gave a crap.
But they didn't necessarily know where and when he'd hid it.
But it seems like if they started at the main control panel and worked their way outward, they would have stumbled on it pretty quickly.
Now that would've been a climactic showdown.
Season Finale material.
"WOOF! WOOF!"
"What's that, Cesare? There's going to be a war between states in the New World?"
"Machi fell down a time well?"
There was definitely some potential of having them run into and deal with other time travelers. Time travel may be new to their era, but if it stays discovered, then the possibilities for time travelers from the future are endless.
Plus more extreme past and future times. HG Wells is in the public domain, for example.
This brings to mind a quote I wish I'd remembered to look up in recent discussions.
There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.
--Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams had a way of making everything sound obvious.
That title rings a bell--try that one if you have the opportunity. I'll have to keep an eye out for the show to come back around on Story.
I also didn't realize that it was hosted by the Carradine Bros, which is cool.
