I'm really looking forward to browsing through it whenever I have a little free time. You've done great work and put in a lot of effort and soul.<br /><br />Like others have said here, please ignore the haters. It's so easy for them to criticize and bitch and moan anonymously, unfortunately the internet is full of it. Screw them and their empty lives, you have a lot of fans.<br /><br />This stranger thanks you.alinldnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452770345556681418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-38409324619665861242016-12-02T22:01:09.499-05:002016-12-02T22:01:09.499-05:00sorry being late to the party, but your blog has a...sorry being late to the party, but your blog has always been one of my favorite corners of the internet. the big smile to post ratio is sky high.So thanks for doing way more than your share to keep the magic and awe of that special era alive.The 80s Resistancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-1882907004180549442016-10-19T21:48:25.269-04:002016-10-19T21:48:25.269-04:00Keep up the good, CM.

This one is about how more sci-fi films are due out in the coming years. Interesting that Disney had The Black Hole planned that far back and given the name "Space Probe 1"<br /><br />https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=wD5PAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UQIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6582%2C5614942<br /><br />And this is about the introduction of Maya on Space:1999. It says that Season 2 would start airing that month in the USA. I swear I saw in another paper that the first episode of season 2 "The Metamorph" had a preview airing in July of 76.<br /><br />https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=wD5PAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UQIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5895%2C5637854Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-42177049395361086822016-09-01T05:11:29.622-04:002016-09-01T05:11:29.622-04:00Have long enjoyed your site since I, too, loved ma...Have long enjoyed your site since I, too, loved many of the TV shows and movies you have highlighted. No problem with Space Babes. Good looking females have been part of science fiction since Deja Thoris (1911) and Wilma Deering (1929). If there wasn't a cute girl involved, most of our stalwart space heroes would have stayed home. Where's the fun in that? Besides, I notice they didn't cast a hag to play the lead in "The Force Awakens."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-55909459273657709352016-08-22T14:39:06.845-04:002016-08-22T14:39:06.845-04:00Dear Chris, just a few words from a french fan... ...Dear Chris, just a few words from a french fan...

Those who complain about this I imagine also unironically complain about Kylo Ren being a "Mary Sue" because she fits into the tradition of these capable, female sci-fi characters.<br /><br />How are we supposed to have our brave new future as promised when we were kids when everything is such a big problem to someone?THX 1139https://www.blogger.com/profile/07574901864533202054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-81708396535690202782016-07-20T16:42:56.468-04:002016-07-20T16:42:56.468-04:00Great blog.
