piranesi Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 It's kind of amazing how on seeing the picture in that article I was immediately whistling the theme song of a show I probably haven't seen (like anywhere...does anyone have the rights to it even?) in legit approaching 30 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I thought Patty Duke was a bit older then 69. Damn, that means she was barely 40 thirty years ago. Man, 2016 continues to be just an unforgiving year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up watching Hitchiker's Guide and Blake's 7 on late night public television as a kid. Such an influential show and so very important to the legacy of sci-fi. RIP.

piranesi Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's weird to think how long ago that show was. I remember hearing someone talk about it when I was on line for the Thunder River at Six Flags over Mid America with my then girlfriend and now wife of 12 fucking years. And now that made me look up Six Flags over mid America to see the fate of all my favorite rides: Jet Scream 1981 -1988 Schwarzkopf Looping Star Was located in USA section, where Batman: The Ride is located today. Replaced Super Sports Car Ride. Indirectly replaced by Ninja, ride moved to Six Flags Astroworld where it operated as Viper until the park closed in 2005, then the ride was scrapped.

I guess I haven't been online in a bit, but this news crushes me. Blake's 7 is one of the shows that was so influential to so many later space operas. The dialogue and crew interactions on the show were spot on. Damn, 71. R.I.P. Mr Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gf and I were JUST watching his standup special tonight and we remarked to each other that we hoped Patton wouldn't die anytime soon and then I see this happened. Fuck. So sad.
