Have you seen the new ones? Apart from the first series, it’s awful.

i also don’t watch t.v these days, i used to like x files, and the original outer limits when reshown on tv but my all time favourite when shown a few years ago on channel 4 was Boris Karloff’s Thriller an old black & white t.v series from the early 1960’s which featured crime stories and lots of horror tales, some of which were excellent, and Karloff himself starred in some of them.just found and ordered the whole series on region 0. 67 episodes on 18 dvd’s from the good old U.S.A. YAAAAAAYYYYY

autephex · October 19, 2009, 6:39pm

Yeah, tried to watch some recently… pretty bad

Generally I cant stomach any new scifi TV shows

FrankTalby · October 19, 2009, 6:48pm

The use of cheesy CGI animation for explosions or ships or whatever is really bad. I’d rather watch the low budget goodness of old Dr. Who than the junk on now.

Ming · October 19, 2009, 7:08pm

The scripts & hammy acting are a joke too.

Silver · October 19, 2009, 9:30pm

I actually saw an episode of the newer Dr Who earlier this evening and couldn’t believe how crappy it was…

autephex · October 19, 2009, 9:40pm

I don’t like the new CGI on the Dr Who DVD releases either… I don’t understand why these companies insist on mucking up old classics

Silver · October 19, 2009, 9:43pm

Do you mean on the old series? Why the hell would they do that? Of course it would look stupid. I remember buying some Red Dwarf dvd’s for a friend, that said “remastered” and they’d been mucked about with in this way, which again just looked out of place. It seems to be happening to a lot of things these days…Damn George Lucas!

autephex · October 19, 2009, 9:47pm

Yep, the old series… although the ones I watched gave you the option to watch with the new CGI or without, as it originally aired

so I guess can’t complain too much… but still, why even bother?

Ah, like the Star Wars trilogy discs that came out a bit back… I’ve only watched the original versions…not even bothered to give the tweaked versions more than a cursory glance…

John_Welles · October 20, 2009, 11:57am

Good model work is wwwaaayyy better than bad CGI.

For the money!

That’s a bit harsh. A quite liked the new versions of the original trilogy. Am I the only one who does?
