Just caught up on a #Monsterdon movie Iβd missed. #PlanetEarth1974 was quite the experience.

@yonder @AlsoPaisleyCat @patioboater oooh interesting article, thanks!
Hey #monsterdon - check out this article Yonder found. Apparently this was supposed to be a direct _sequel_ to Genesis II? And note this part:
"To his credit, Gene Roddenberry later disavowed the story and claimed that the all-women society idea was one that was forced onto him by the network."
https://moriareviews.com/sciencefiction/planet-earth-tv-1974.htm
I would like to believe this to be true.

@AlsoPaisleyCat @patioboater Okay so
Please do not read this as a defense of what we actually just watched because holy shit it is not
BUT
there's a premise laid out here, right? Of visiting one weird-ass pocket civilisation after another, each with its own issues, weirdnesses, and strange bullshit, but all _also_ based on or very close to Earth As We Know It, so you can use each one to highlight something in society.
Does this sound like anything to you? To me, it sounds like:
Otherworld (1985, CBS)
Sliders (1995-1998, Fox; 1998-2000, SciFi Channel)There are more, I'm sure.
It's the morality play half of Star Trek without the bother of a starship and filming space SFX.
And that's a series.

I decided that I didnβt need to inflict another rewatch of *Planet Earth* on myself. Our eldest was up for an episode of our latest series, so I took the opportunity to bow out.
Having seen it in original 1974 broadcast, and then rewatching it on video in the 90s to validate my conviction that Roddenberry had recycled some of its worst elements into a TNG season one episode, I felt my eyeballs had given that movie more than enough minutes.
Fascinating to know that it just increases in offensiveness as the decades roll on.
I do like *Genesis II* better but I canβt imagine how Roddenberry thought either was an adequate pilot for a television show.

Just got home, and scrolling through the #monsterdon #planetearth1974 thread and it looks like I missed out on a stinker (or should I say βsdinkerβ?). Anyway I leave it to the reader to decide if that was a good thing or not.

Mothra: Ablative armor engaged! Fire phasers!
It's like all the good parts of Star Trek went into this movie, and the other parts... well, you know

@[email protected] Yeah, I'm specifically thinking about American Godzilla for that.

@Louisa We had to import the 1970s male mindset into the future, to translate confusing sci-fi futurethought for the 1970s audience. #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

I had only middling expectations for βPlanet Earthβ but it really underwhelmed them. That was terrible to begin with and has aged poorly since.
Worse yet, I have nobody to blame but myself, since I voted for this terrible thing.
Now I need to watch βDestroy All Monstersβ to cleanse the palate.

@jonny @Taweret As horribly ineffective I may be as a person during a typical day, at least I was not that movie. #Monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

@ohiofi honestly i shoulda voted for NDYNC that's just quality
-
*bonk* between tiny flying creatures
and it was still a better fight scene than anything in #PlanetEarth1974

This was NOT Roddenberry's best work.
-
@diazona No chance with this one. #monsterdon #PlanetEarth1974

Anyway, good job again launch team, another movie launched into space, and Flight Control informs me it _will_ dive into the sun. We've saved Earth from this one for sure.
And thanks to @Taweret for hosting as always.

I used to own a 1977 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon in worse shape than that Kruer war wagon.

@skatem Whatever it is, he probably had to go to an alien planet to get it

I did manage a bingo out of this mess

Thanks to @Taweret for this week's fine example of a failed TV pilot! With dinkage, even (dink! dink!)
No coffee. No smoking. A number of weak Sci-Fi cliches. High ick factor. Dinks. Lurch in a wig as a bargain-basement Beastmaster.

@bk1e @bunnyhero Either that's what it looks like when there are no ratings or it's, like, one person who rated it as a troll
