After killing Caroon the Krynoid, Quatermass suddenly goes catatonic and runs off into the night - before revealing he's going to start his space flight project ALL OVER AGAIN.<BR/><BR/>Even though there are weird vampire parasite things in orbit and he has footage showing them chowing down on three astronauts. And even though he knows these things could wipe out all life if they get a host body that can survive in Earth's atmosphere. And even if they had a half decent quarantine proceedures, he's condemning another three astronauts to CERTAIN death.<BR/><BR/>What an asshole.Youth of Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509521019229324658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075740671122268515.post-16552240755637975442009-02-10T13:39:00.000+11:002009-02-10T13:39:00.000+11:00Here it is revealed that maverick Quatermass decid...<I>Here it is revealed that maverick Quatermass decided his rocket was double-fisted enough and rather than wait for the ministry to give the go ahead launched it in secret without their say-so or even knowledge. Unfortunately, it went out of control and crashed in a meadow - not only has the British space program lost its desired secrecy, they all look like bloody idiots now. There. All my problems with the script solved. </I><BR/><BR/>The great thing is - it's plausbile. Wehrner von Braun got pissed off with the U.S government never giving him a go-ahead for any larger scale launch - knowing that the Russians were planning something big. In his bitterness he began overstating the equipment he'd need for his experiments, embezzling money and sequestering further supplies through very dubious means along with working on highly advanced plans. So when the Yanks came to him, furious that the Russians had got Sputnik past him, he calmly told them that he would be able to have an American satellite in orbit within the week. If von Braun got pushed any further, I wouldn't have been amazed if he launched a satellite without any authority.Jared "No Nickname" Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825668092428993308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075740671122268515.post-57471373829077112582009-02-06T12:50:00.000+11:002009-02-06T12:50:00.000+11:00Well, WAS there any Science Fiction TV in the UK b...Well, WAS there any Science Fiction TV in the UK before Quatermass?

Maybe the first episode WAS written on the fly, as this is slightly better though people are more prone to monologuing than ever. Pretty good with Fullalove (I'm sorry, is he supposed to be a porn star or something) but not good for Ham Lady.<BR/><BR/>I am amazed at Quatermass' not only continuing to lack any kind of personality, but everyone going out of their way to show how bloody stupid the guy is.<BR/><BR/>Quatermass the genius -<BR/><BR/>- thinks smacking a dazed and exhausted man will get him to talk<BR/>- takes it entirely on trust the three astros got ON the rocket in the first place and never bothered to check<BR/>- kidnaps Caroon before the police can investigate him<BR/>- does a full investigation on Caroon but two coppers instantly spot a vital clue he never even checked for<BR/>- throw a nurse across the room when she disagrees with him<BR/>- doesn't think that anyone might recognize him after his picture is all over the newspaers across the entire country<BR/>- doesn't notice that the space suits haven't been taken apart (required if the wearer was to get out of them) and needs to have this pointed out to him<BR/>- cannot speak any language other than English<BR/><BR/>Everyone seems worried that Quatermass might be scared of something, but probably because this is the only emotion he's shown. When Ham Lady gives a very long and sub-spara speech that she was cheating on Caroon and intended to dump him after the test flight, and now feels responsible for the accident, Quatermass just wanders off, bored and mumbles that he's not the person to talk too.<BR/><BR/>No shit, watching this, you'd be convinced that Fullalove is the main character. He's smarter than everyone else, working out the truth quicker than those in the know.<BR/><BR/>Plotwise not much happens except the police (lead by a 80-year-old idiot who barely speaks coherently) point out that the astronauts vanished from inside their suits without the airlock ever being used. Assuming, I dunno, Caroon ate them, they take his finger prints but find said prints have changed and look a bit like another guy's. Meanwhile, Caroon's freezing cold, his skeleton has changed and he can now speak fluent German and knows stuff he shouldn't possibly know while remaining feverish.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and it turns out the rocket is full of alien asbestos and Doctor Bellfriar from Blake's 7 turns up, outacts Quatermass, decides he likes it and goes OTT screaming "WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE?!"<BR/><BR/>I tell you, one fundamental difference between this and Doctor Who - in Doctor Who, someone would answer the question. Or make a suggestion. Seriously, no one really seems interested in making suggestions. The guys are missing. This is bad. The end OF PART TWO!<BR/><BR/><I>I think half the adoration comes from people who saw Quatermass and decided they could do something like that.</I><BR/>Maybe. I would have hoped they could do better than a zombified git in a white coat wondering around refusing to be interested while a fat journo talks about much more exciting stuff.<BR/><BR/><I>The worst telerecording problem occurs in Quatermass II, IIRC - a fly appears on the film recording for about five minutes.</I><BR/>That seems to happen in episode two. I thought there was a bug on my screen.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately I can't find any more eps of TQE, so I'm gonna try and catch a copy of the film.<BR/><BR/>Can I just make my prayer here that when they DO adapt Nightshade they remove all the Quatermass bollocks like they did with Idiot's Lantern ("Ooh, Doctor, they clench their hands just like Quatermass!" "Ooh, I know the way to Westminster Abbey, I saw Quatermass!" "Ooh, just like Quatermass!"

Don't they have satellites up there or something?</I><BR/>According to wiki, Quatermass was made in 1952. That predates most of the space-race - before this point Korolyov has been working alomst entirely on making intercontinental missiles for launching nuclear weaponry at Stalin's request and Von Braun isn't trusted and/or liked enough to be given any substantial money or tasks by the US government. I'm almost certain that this pre-dates Laike, and certainly pre-dates Sputnik and Yuri Gargarin, so I doubt that the ideas were part of the popular consciousness yet.<BR/><BR/>Pedantic defense over.<BR/><BR/><I>It then strikes Ham-Woman that since they don't know the astros are DEAD, they MIGHT be ALIVE.

When I saw the opening credits for <I>The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</I> episode 'The Norwich Builder' I recognised the name 'Jonathan Adams'. But I had no idea from where. Was racking my brains for basically all of the first 20 minutes until I realised - it was the boss from <I>Star Cops</I>!<BR/><BR/>Cue blank looks from the rest of my family.<BR/><BR/><BR/><I>Yet everyone acts like if they get one number wrong the rocket will fly off into outer space! </I><BR/><BR/>If it's in orbit, that could happen. It's fairly well known that if an object hitting the atmosphere is at too steep an angle that the friction of the atmosphere due to the different velocities of atmosphere and object will cause it to violently burn up - it's less known that if the angle is too shallow a rocket can actually bounce off the atmosphere into space. What's more the exact angle is different for every planet. Fortunately Isaac Newton worked out the formula hundreds of years ago, so we've had plenty of time to work it out.<BR/><BR/>That said, sounds like the rocket isn't in orbit from your spiel, so never mind all that.<BR/><BR/><I>Contemporary knowledge aside, it beggars belief they didn't have some kind of way of monitoring beyond ringing the rocket up every five minutes and asking for longitude and latitude.</I><BR/><BR/>Erm, yeah. This... is sounding a bit bad.<BR/><BR/><I>And then we're back in bloody ground control yet again </I><BR/><BR/>Doesn't the entire thing take place in one set? I was a live drama, after all..<BR/><BR/><I>We then cut to a very pathetic set of a cross-sectioned ruined house</I><BR/><BR/>Ah, there you go. Shows me..<BR/><BR/><I>So, as we deal with the fact that not only are the populace of Croydon</I><BR/><BR/>Hang on... isn't Croydon meant to be a fairly well-off Southern town? Not particularly yokel-prone... I mean I only really know it as Sarah-Jane and Captain Darling's home town..<BR/><BR/>Ah, well, it's outside London so I guess it fits the bill.<BR/><BR/><I>Meanwhile, MM is showing off his staggering lack of talent as he reveals that Britain forgot to tell anyone that they were actually firing off space rockets and that no one in England noticed it smash into Wimbledon Common.</I><BR/><BR/>Jesus Christ. Did he write this on the fly? Or was it a round-robin thing...<BR/><BR/><I>As further evidenced by Quatermass telling the fire brigade not to pour cold water on a red hot metal capsule - what did the firemen THINK would happen?!</I><BR/><BR/>"Arr, wall we thunk thart if we was ter gow an' put summat cold awn it, it wuld go all cold, see? Aye, ahhh, oi com from outsoide tha city oi do..."<BR/><BR/><I>Of course, the Marshall has brain cells and is able to deduce that the head of the BRG being next to a big silver rocket might be relevant. Realizing he faces an intellect far bigger than his own, Quatermass folds like a house of cards and breaks every official secret, telling the Marshall EVERYTHING.</I><BR/><BR/>LMAO.<BR/><BR/><I>And now some drunk fucker with a football rattle is attacking the "walkie talkie" operator screaming "WE'RE MAKING HISTORY!"</I><BR/><BR/>This bit, at least, sounds brilliant.<BR/><BR/><I>Quatermass violently assualts the dazed Caroon and demands to know what the fuck is going on, and unsurprisingly Carron passes out. The end. </I><BR/><BR/>Hmm. Not much you can say about that.<BR/><BR/><I>Invasion of the Moon-Creatures</I><BR/><BR/>Is that the Goodies one, lol?<BR/><BR/>It does sound quite rubbish. But my lone experience with Nigel Kneale in <I>Sharpe's Gold</I> hadn't led me to expect much else..Jared "No Nickname" Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825668092428993308noreply@blogger.com
