Episodes 803-807: Share your screenshots and favorite riffs!

[Lesley]

HEY, WELCOME BACK EVERYBODY. Today we have reached arguably the most challenging clump (tranche?) of episodes in this process, as all but one of these is unavailable for streaming. May the odds be ever in your favor!

803 The Mole People
804 The Deadly Mantis
805 The Thing That Coudn’t Die
806 The Undead
807 Terror from the Year 5000

As a refresher:

You can submit one to three screenshots in comments on each post. Please keep your images at minimum 800px x 600px and 72 dpi. File type does not matter. YES, screenshots of host segments are welcome too!

If you’d ALSO like to throw in a favorite riff, choose one that’s relatively short. Remember to include the timestamp of where it happens in the episode. Ideally the riff should make sense when used in context with the screenshot(s) you’ve chosen. Riffs are optional, though, and if you’d rather just share screenshots, that is fine too.

All of this info will be collected and may be used in the Gizmoplex library! Your contributions are greatly appreciated, even if you can’t participate on every post. There’s zero pressure to do EVERY episode. Whatever you can do will help.

807 - Terror from the Year 5000

(Side note, @Lesley - I’m not sure if you would need to edit the screengrabs of Sci-Fi Channel era episodes that didn’t get official DVD/streaming releases to cover up or censor the Sci-Fi Channel planet logo for the Gizmoplex archives. That would affect this episode as well as I Was a Teenage Werewolf, The Deadly Bees, and The Space Children.)

For The Thing That Couldn’t Die, I was working with the YouTube videos, and there are only a few seconds before/after the commercial breaks where the Sci-Fi logo doesn’t come into play.

[ArtCrow]

Always like to reminded just how strong the first few episodes of the Sci-Fi era was!

[optiMSTie]

It felt like that whole eighth season was uniformly strong, with the possible exception of Invasion of the Neptune Men, which had some solid moments but was draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagged down by that closing aerial dogfight that went on for five forevers.

[ArtCrow]

Great point. Season 8 is an overall excellent season. With the first few, I enjoy the “Fifties Drive-In Classic” vibe they have and are already enjoyable on their own, all they have to do is give them a gentle push!

[optiMSTie]

Oh, indeed. Those first few hokey Universal sci-fi movies gave the season a fun opening and set the right tone, establishing a great beginning and example for all that was to follow.
