Nooo! They did it again, the mutants in Hollywood stole my idea (of course if they stole all of it, they’d have made UFO into an animated series, with James Woods as the voice of Stryker), someday I’m going to have to find a way to deactivate the transmitter in my brain.

You beat me to it SS. After what they did to Battlestar Galactica, I also cringe to think what they’d do to UFO.

‘“The current plan,” Gratzner explains. “is that Barry Gray’s theme will actually be used in the picture.” Classical composer Richard Sortomme has been enlisted to score UFO. “He re-orchestrated the original Barry Gray theme, huge and sweeping and orchestral…I’m a huge fan of the original UFO theme. If you take away the Herb Alpert trumpet and the Hammond B3 organ and you listen to the music itself, there’s a really spectacular orchestral score there.’

Awesome. I’m glad he’s keeping some of the Barry Gray theme.

Indeed. Cameron represents such a loss, by the way. It’s amazing to think that he actually co-wrote the second Rambo film. I still can barely understand what’s happened to that guy. The other day while having lunch, a great scene from “True Lies” came on with Charlton Heston and Schwarzenegger. In the scene they talk about the need to eradicate terrorism. Heston is hilarious, growling with an eyepatch on, lambasting Schwarzenegger for not getting the job done. It’s a great moment. And I’m asking myself in the midst of this: what the hell happened to Cameron?

Imagine Thunderbirds in the hands of a Terminator/Aliens era James Cameron.

I actually just rented this show and saw the first episode last night. It’s really great.

I love the space girls. TV shows were so much fun back then. Now we have to put up with “Battlestar Galactica” and its stupid anti-war politics.

ITV did such great work in that era. They were always very stylish and imaginative.
