Love, Death and Robots: Lucky 13
Superstition raises its illogical head when junior officer Colby is given a new ship: Lucky 13. With a serial number that has 13 in it twice, and whose digits add up to 13, it’s easy to see why this may be … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: A Blast for Buck
Synchronicity is a weird thing. My sister happened to get my post about the end of the year, which opened with me asking where time goes, only to immediately get another email opening with the exact same question. The day … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Fish Night
This has to be the strangest of the tales so far this season. One of the things I really love about this series is that it’s got a vast range. We’ve seen comedy, drama, plenty of sci-fi and no shortage … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Happy Birthday, Buck
It’s a bit depressing coming off Space Vampire to get such a mundane story. In reality, none of these episodes have tread new ground, but they are all varying degrees of fun with old plot lines. However, this episode is just a … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Helping Hand
I’ve got to hand it to them: this has got to be, hands-down, the most agonizing 8 minutes of television I’ve ever seen. Ok that had to be said, but seriously, if humans need a reminder of just how dangerous … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Space Vampire
I didn’t know when to expect this in the season (I’ve been going through these without looking ahead), but I knew it was coming at some point and was so happy to revisit this one. I never forgot it, although … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Shape-shifters
No denying it: I’m a sucker for a werewolf movie. The unfortunate thing is that there are seldom good ones. I have memories of some that I liked, but I think if I view them now, I might regret it, … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Cruise Ship to the Stars
Look up Space: 1999 and the first few words on Wikipedia is “…a British Science-fiction television programme that ran for two series from 1975 to 1977.” Look up Buck Rogers and you’ll find, “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century is … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: The Dump
Perhaps if it were called The Junkyard, I might have liked it more. The unfortunate truth is I have a bit of a bias myself: I don’t like things to be low class. Crass behavior puts me off and I … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Escape from Wedded Bliss
Let me get this right: Ardala is back and she is searching for a human husband and the top of the line is a guy she met once for a few minutes? First off, isn’t Earth the enemy of the … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Good Hunting
Sometimes a story hits all the right marks and manages to say something even when the basis isn’t that deep. What we really have here is a revenge story; revenge against cruelty and tyranny. It revs the engines and has … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Cosmic Whiz Kid
Oh dear, what have we got here? When this series starts, I rapidly zip past the opening scenes of what’s to come because I think that’s a deplorable thing to do with an episode. I realize this is sort of … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: When the Yogurt Took Over
This was the fastest episode of the season – coming in at 6 minutes – and at first glance, it seems to be just a lightweight comedy. The voiceover that tells the story of what happened when the yogurt takes … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Planet of the Amazon Women
I get it: this show is based on a pulp serial from “back in the day” but did they have to embrace the history so well by coming up with such cheesy names? Planet of the Amazon Women features none … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Sucker of Souls
I have yet to come across one of these that hasn’t been based on a short story and it makes me consider how this must have come across in written format. Sucker of Souls is about an archeological expedition that unleashes … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: Unchained Woman
I’m starting to think half the fun of these episodes is seeing who I’ll recognize. The volume of celebs that were part of this series is really amazing me and I am enjoying seeing who turns up from my childhood. … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: Suits
How can I best describe Suits? When I saw the title, I thought of a totally different sort of story, but maybe that’s because members of my family have raved about a show called Suits. No, this isn’t about businessmen. … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: The Return of the Fighting 69th
This is an unexpected episode because I was surprised by the premise. It features a group of aging fighters being called out of retirement to help with an attack on an enemy base. I’m not really sure it makes sense … Continue reading
Love, Death and Robots: The Witness
The Witness is a manic, fast paced episode that doesn’t let up from the moment it begins. To give some example of what I mean, I keep a notepad with me when watching the shows we review here at The Junkyard, … Continue reading
Buck Rogers: The Plot to Kill a City
I have to say I was genuinely surprised to find another two part story so close to the start of this series. It’s not unheard of to do a longer pilot, so having the first story go on for 2 … Continue reading
