Well, you know. Aliens. They are mysterious and inscrutable.
Like the time a Visitor decided to tan her fake skin. Fake skin she adorned with typical and, err, conspicuous mammal characteristics...
I, um, missed this episode. Who she?

I, um, missed this episode. Who she?
Interviewed Jane, her comment was "Oh God, you know about everything I've done, and I did so much c--p."
It's more simple; viewer letters persuaded that killing Martin was a mistake, so the producers tried to solve it by having the same actor play his brother.
He had a lisp.
Why would Steven's death infuriate anyone? The bastard deserved it.
And the fact that he died by Ham pouring a whole packet of toxin down his throat...just an added benefit.
Why 2017?
Oh? Why not?
In fact, one of the V novels said that Diana had an insatiable appetite for sex with humans...of both genders.
Oh good lordy....... The sex must be interesting considering what's under the fake skin. Alien hoohah
The Incredible Hulk was garbage, a show that had little to do with the original comic book it was based on other than the use of the main character. Instead of bringing to life the universe, characters and STORIES that Lee & Kirby created, we got a second-rate clone of The Fugitive where all that
Another thing that got me about this show; why the fuck should anybody care about Banner even with the Hulk as a factor? Unless he harmed the military or was well known as a scientist like in the comic books, nobody's going to give a shit about Banner, and because society wasn't as connected or wired as now, no one's going to notice the Hulk/Banner or even connect two plus two to equal four because nobody's going to believe those who said that they saw a large green monster wreck things (the whole doubting of sanity thing). All that Banner's doing in his running away vs. Kimble's running away is keeping a monster a secret (yes, I know about the New York thing and the consequences that followed, but Banner's still 'dead', he's living off of the grid, and society back in the early 80's isn't like society is now, so there's no real way to connect him with the Hulk, plus people will be treating the Hulk as a urban legend like Bigfoot.) The Incredible Hulk's just as bad as the other shows mentioned by you and Christopher, but for a different reason; it didn't stick to the original source upon which it was based, but then used another, older similar source to tell a story that makes no sense with this character.
Don't forget all of the other shows (some of them animated) that were good, like Robotech, Tales From The Darkside, Monsters, The Real Ghostbusters, Captain Power & The Soldiers Of The Future, Max Headroom, The Ray Bradbury Theater, plus a lot of others.
The Bixby/Ferigno Incredible Hulk was a horrible adaptation, but still a great show. These kind of man on the run/traveling the country shows were a pretty common thing back around that time, so it's not just doing a take on The Fugitive, it's just one of several shows that are done int that style. Honestly, watching the Incredible Hulk back when it was on MeTV was one of the things that really helped me to realize something can be a lousy adaptation, but still a great thing on it's own.
So I'll get booed for this but I liked The Man From Atlantis. But it was such a short lived show. I tink it got canned didn't it?
That show's a gap in my '70s SFTV knowledge. I remember seeing it occasionally back in the day, but I remember next to nothing about it.
And yeah, it was short-lived -- four TV movies and 13 episodes, so about 2/3 as much content as V.
I liked the design of the submarine in The Man From Atlantis. It looked kind of different to what you usually see, was never in proper scale but I just liked the design.
I don't understand. How does that make it inappropriate to show the villain of the story engaging in unwanted touching? Surely it just underlines her villainy, her disregard for others.
Well, yes, but the "two transformations per episode" pattern was imposed by the network and was a standard formula of virtually every superhero show of the era. What made TIH impressive was how much it managed to transcend that imposed formula.
I'd say that the use of the formula in Wonder Woman seasons 2-3 was even worse, because it was so arbitrary. Those seasons focused more on Diana Prince than Wonder Woman, and often they'd have Diana briefly change into Wonder Woman to do some simple thing that hardly required a transformation -- also, people would routinely see Wonder Woman appear chasing a bad guy that Diana had been chasing moments earlier, or see Wonder Woman escape from a trap that Diana had been caught in moments earlier, and would not think that they might be the same person even though Diana had stopped wearing glasses by that point and was only distinguished from Wonder Woman by her wardrobe and hairstyle. At least the Hulk didn't have the exact same face and voice as David Banner.
Not back in the '70s, no, but The X-Files aired on Friday nights in its first three seasons (though it didn't become a huge hit until it moved to Sundays), and the Sci-Fi Channel/Syfy's "Sci-Fi Friday" was their featured programming block for years, the home of hits like Farscape, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Eureka, and Warehouse 13.
I'm confused. So they couldn't make a hypothetical movie about Weinstein?
The point's not about Weinstein, it's about Diana. I don't know why you think that television shows would now somehow be unable to show villains doing inappropriate things. You'd have a point if you were talking about the depiction of good guys doing it, but it makes no sense to say that there would be any taboo against showing clear-cut villains like Diana doing bad things.
