Ok let's hear it, which of those 2 cheesy pulpy Post-Apocalyptic SF dead-end series pilot films did you enjoy most? link link Dan
PS. I first thought John Saxon was in both. Is that nuts or what!?!? |

For me, most memorable, "Enter the Dragon." I realize I did not answer your question.

If memory serves, John Saxon has said that he was hired to bring a bit of class to Enter the Dragon. |

What, not including Battle Beyond the Stars? |

LOL. Well, I believe Genesis II and Planet Earth were 2 separate TV movie pilots for what was supposed to be the same Gene Roddenberry series … a series that never took off the ground, despite the two tries. That must have been a blow to Roddenberry. Dan |

But so many years later we got Andromeda with Kevin Sorbo playing Dylan Hunt for series number 3. It was enjoyable for what it was. |

I'm a Five Deadly Venoms guy, why no remakes constantly puzzles me. Oh wait, what was the original post? |

Did you say cheesy pulpy dead end movies?
|
| Cacique Caribe | 26 Mar 2018 9:48 p.m. PST |
Lol. Actually, I said "cheesy pulpy Post-Apocalyptic SF dead-end series pilot films". Roddenberry tried that series twice, with two separate pilots. I guess a tv series can't be more dead end than that. Dan |

Roddenberry went so pacifist kumbaya on us in the end look at Andromeda |
| Cacique Caribe | 27 Mar 2018 12:03 a.m. PST |
LOL. Is that why humans got gobbled up by those "Magog" creatures? To be honest I only watched one or two of the episodes. Dan |

Roddenberry had passed nearly a decade before Andromeda was made. From my understanding it was developed by Robert Hewitt Wolfe based on old material. |

Both of those movies/pilots were from a time when the major networks had several "Movies of the Week" time slots in their schedule where they would run these "movies" which were nothing more than an extended weekly episode. If the ratings showed promise they would green light the entire series, which usually had most of the groundwork laid out and were just waiting for the funding to get rolling. The other Roddenberry series that had a pilot that was approved for a series, but the series was never made was The Questor Tapes. |

My favorite is the Soviet era movie Stalker. So well cast…and foreign. I have never seen either of your movies but I am going to look for them now. |

I had never heard of Questor Tapes. I've gotta check it out. Thanks guys Dan |

Which one had Mariette Hartley in it? |
| Cacique Caribe | 24 Apr 2018 10:29 p.m. PST |
That would be Genesis II. Her two bellybuttons were almost cute. :) Dan
