Another look after all those years
Well I just watched all 16 episodes for the first time after seeing them in their original run in the mid-70's. I bought the DVD fueled by nostalgia, remembering the poor production values, but hoping time had been merciful. The verdict? If you never saw The Starlost don't bother unless you adore B-science fiction for its camp, and even then you'll find the shows more boring than the usual B flicks. If you did see the originals and are considering buying this DVD for nostalgia like I did, my memories proved fairly accurate about what I liked (the great premise, the cheesy but sometimes-clever sets) but things proved much more slow-paced and boring than I had remembered. All in all, I scratched an itch that wasn't worth it.
