Anyone remember a film from either the 70's or 80's set inside a huge space ship with some robots that tended a garden?

Silent Running.

Ace film and very sad.

Silent Running.

Ace film and very sad.

It was the first film I saw that made me realise the potential of SF to be more than cowboys and indians in space. Took my breath away.

Silent Running.

It wasn't that I don't think, the robots looked like the trendy hovers that you could get in the late 80's, called names like Henry...

Sadly him and the evil kid who enslaved him in the 70s didnt make it into the current re-imagining of the show.

 

[Flashman]

Unless he is the real 5th Cylon.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

this cunt can fuck off as well. Thanks for making that era of doctor who a bit shit you little metal bastard.

He was shit wasn't he, but I loved him at the time.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Sadly him and the evil kid who enslaved him in the 70s didnt make it into the current re-imagining of the show.

Actually the kid did appear in the miniseries but hit the cutting room floor pretty hard in series one (see the deleted scenes on the DVD) and never came back. He was living with Boomer and the Chief but that was forgotten about pretty fast and nobody seemed to notice he just wasn't there anymore.

 

[Melinda]

Unless he is the real 5th Cylon.

Ive just noticed there is someone riding him pretty hard from behind.

He's wearing blue, I think its Lorne Greene.


Mr Suplex, I dont remember that kid in the mini series at all But its been 4 years I suppose... I might have another look.

don't. The original was painfully shit.

 

[Melinda]

don't. The original was painfully shit.

Nah- Im talking about the mini series pilot from 2004- I didnt remember the kid being in that.

Im going to check the deleted scenes in the first season.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Boomer takes him on the last carrier thing to the ship when she leaves whats his face behind. I remember because I was thinking 'uh oh, please no' .
