I t's F A B F R I D A Y ! Here are just a handful of black and white images from UFO , ironically, from the colorful wonderful world of all things  Gerry and Sylvia Anderson . Putting aside all of those gorgeous purple wigs and the colors that brought the Gerry Anderson series UFO (1970-1973) to life, we give you some behind the scenes shots of the women of UFO and one with the late Ed Bishop as fearless commander of SHADO Ed Straker working with the late, great Gerry Anderson himself (and Peter Gordeno). It's unfortunate the planned second season of UFO never lifted off and inevitably morphed into Space:1999 . Wouldn't both unique and special series have been perfect to air side by side for a time? The women of UFO were positively gorgeous as seen here with both Gabrielle Drake and Antonia Ellis (both below) as well as mother of actor Benedict Cumberbatch, the stunning Wanda Ventham (above). It's a FAB FRIDAY indeed! And the UFO Moonbase that w

"W hen you're lives depend on each other you form very deep bonds." -General Hammond- C reature designs, effects work, production design are all top notch in this season one  Stargate SG-1  (1997-2007) entry. While generally one of the least embraced of the season Stargate SG-1 , Season One, Episode 11, Fire And Water is a deliciously dressed episode in its use of production design, lighting and color. It's color palette is best in keeping with the likes of the excellent  The Torment Of Tantalus (S1,E9) in its effort to step up the production side of the series. There are colors and design work in play that work almost as a kind of precursor of what would become a regular part of the pastel look of Stargate Atlantis (2004-2009) one day. With Daniel Jackson the prisoner of an alien creature, and thought potentially dead, Jack O'Neill, Samantha Carter and Teal'c, at the request of General Hammond, are asked to go through Daniel's personal belo

E njoying a look back at some of the lesser known episodes of The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) featuring beloved actors of the era. This writer missed this one featuring Jonathan Harris opposite actress Barbara Nichols. The Twilight Zone , Season Two, Episode 17, Twenty Two falls short of the more impressive story featuring Harris we covered here at Musings Of A Sci-Fi Fanatic called The Silence (S2, E25). Twenty Two is interesting if just to see Harris offer a laugh to his special thespian brand, but the story based on a ghost story anthology from 1944 ( The Hearse Driver ) and before that a short story called The Bus-Conductor by E.F. Benson (1906) is a mostly underwhelming entry. The overall 65,000 dollar budget per episode was cut well in half  for six episodes of The Twilight Zone 's Season Two. One of those episodes was Twenty Two along with Bill Mumy's appearance in Long Distance Call , ironically S2, E22 (episode twenty two). The visual limitations are
