I recently watched the whole season of UFO, wanting so badly to like it because of its music and set design, but episodes were soooooo dull. The plot premises seemed promising, but the development was poor.
Most of the Gerry Anderson shows are available to stream on ITVX in the UK. The Re-imaginings of Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlett in 3D are there too.
Fireball XL-5, Supercar, Joe 90, Space Precinct (sub needed), UFO, Terrahawks, Space:1999, The Secret Service, Stingray, Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet (3D), Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds the Anniversary Episodes, Thunderbirds Are Go (3D), Thunderbirds.
I have only seen a few bits and pieces of various UFO documentaries, but one segment really stuck with me. It was space shuttle footage showing a side view of the earth with several little white dots, a thruster fires the a second or so later they all move. They the do a calculation assuming one of those dots was in earths atmosphere to get some insane acceleration. But, looking at the footage I just saw paint flecks disturbed by an expanding gas cloud from the thruster.
It’s all about trying to prove a world view and or entertainment rather than any kind of real investigation of odd lights etc. We may dislike it, but the History channel is extremely profitable and one of the most watched channels on TV. Cheap content plus wide audiences equals profit.
