Hello and welcome to Retrospection where we take an old show, our film, as if we should defend it with a strength of a secret organisation, or just let it be destroyed. My name's Colin and you don't really think of us as men, do you? You never. And I'm Paul and I didn't have a grandfather, I had a test tube.
That's why you walk that way. That makes sense. Well that way, I can take a run DMC day. Oh no, I see my head.
And in this episode we're taking a look at Terror Harks which ran from 1983 to 1986 and was created by Jerry Anderson and Christopher Burr. I couldn't believe it ran for so long and I looked it up. Yeah, I don't remember it running for three series either. No, I remember.
I think ITV, the channel in the UK where I watched it, they should show the same episodes every Sunday. Yeah, strange right? Also, before I continue, did you look at some of the opinions on IMDB about it? I didn't know.
They're like 10 out of 10, the greatest thing ever. There's one that's almost like it's therapy for him. It's some kind of foaming at the mouth, positive reaction to it. I don't remember it being this popular.
Well, it was quite a therapy for me as well because I was very relaxed at the end of it. Yeah, was you in that massage place again? I really shouldn't take my iPad in there. No, you shouldn't.
There's other things to do. Yeah, but at the end of the day, people get something from this. It's not how I remember the reaction to the show being. I was surprised when I read through.
That's all. No, I always thought that the reaction to the show was quite average, to be honest. Yeah. We will love it.
I know. But the series is set in the fair future of 2020. It's still the future. What is it with Gerry Anderson setting stuff like just up the road in time-wise?
I know. I know. So what? 1999 was what made in 72?
Yeah. Yeah. I was talking 20 years. Yeah.
And then this is made in 83 and he sets it in 2020. I guess. I mean, eventually you're going to reach the year of everything that's ever made, right? In the future.
So didn't we reach the Blade Runner year this year? Yeah. So it's said in 2020, after an alien forces destroyed NASA's moon base on threatened Earth, an organization known as Derraharks, is created to defend the planet from the secret base, Harkness, located in South America. This is terror as in Earth, not terror, as I always seem to think it was.
I think I always thought it's terror. Yeah. It's now. Sorry, here's a question for you then.
They destroyed the moon base. Yes. So we've got a moon base in this Gerry Anderson universe as well. I've got a moon base in every Gerry Anderson show.
I don't know about that. It's one of UFOs, right? There's one in UFOs. There's obviously one in Space 1999.
Is there one in Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds? Ooh. I know they've got a satellite, haven't they? If you have the answer.
It's a postcard to Pollwood. No, don't. No, somebody will put something on Facebook. Yeah.
Corners names. That'd be useful. Teraarks there as the voices are Jeremy Hichin as Dr. Tiger Nines Dean, Colonel Johnson, Lieutenant Hero and Hawkeye, Denise Brier as Mary Falconer and Zelda, and Riddler as Katie Kestrel when she's speaking and Moi Graphese when she's singing.
Right. Yeah, because she has her disguises that she's a pop star. We don't. Ah, we didn't see any of that in these.
No, no. Later on we get a lot of episodes of music and stuff and she released an album. Really? Apparently.
Oh. Windsor Davis as Sergeant Major Zero and Robbie Stevens as D-suite and 101. Although we don't get D-suite is not in this episode. 101 is.
D-suite is a French-speaking zero-eyed who apparently has a handlebar moustache for some reason. That doesn't surprise me because it was in this episode. Seriously. So it was a bit of it to...
What? Troublesome. It could be. Yeah.
Interesting when we get to that. Well, now this was Anderson's first show for a decade. Only star puppets. And it's his last truly puppet series as well.
Killed it. I don't know if you know this but he was never a fan of. He never started off wanting to do puppet shows. He just fell into that and he really didn't like doing puppet shows.
He wanted to do live action. Bit like the way you've fallen into doing a podcast. I wish all of this was a good single look on your face. So writers for the show like Tony Berwick used aliases for different episodes including Amteak Stein and Felix Kat Stein.
So they all had the play on the word Stein. No one used the real names. Does that come from the nine-stein? Yeah, nine-stein.
Yes, it does. Right. Yeah. When they do the first episode they use the real names and then over episodes, they use this fake name except for Jerry Anderson who always used his real name.
Yeah. Obviously. Music was written and performed by Richard Harvey. The TV staff, Luther, Melissa.
Oh, so he's still working today. Up till 2015. That surprises me. I mean, listen to the soundtrack to this show.
You don't like it. Well, did you really know about Jerry Anderson wanted the theme tune to be very reminiscent of Star Wars? Well, it's got that kind of bombastic. Well, there's three notes.
Yeah, there's a few notes at the end of the theme tune that are straight ripped from Star Wars. Well, then he got what he asked for. Well, he's kind of like the Star Wars theme tune filtered through Rick Waitman's keyboard, isn't it? Yeah, I also think he did the theme to Tales of the Unexpected.
Yeah, that makes sense. That stirs nostalgia for most people of our age, right? It does. Yeah.
Yeah. Why are you looking at me like that? You should remember the open and credit sequence, right? Oh, I know.
Exactly what you're getting at. The opening and closing sequences of this show were made with hand-drawn cell animation made to look like computer graphics. And the opening and closing were different in Japan as they had a more anime-influenced version. I wouldn't imagine this went very well in Japan.
Japan likes a lot of Jerry Anderson stuff. It's huge over there. Well, they're big on... Be careful, powerful part.
Why are they big on? You know, mixed stuff, that kind of thing. They like all that kind of thing. That's true.
Yeah. Do you have any other info you like to sling, like a chimp throwing food? It's interesting analogy considering watching Terreault. Did you read that the original 16-millimeter masters of this had no longer existed, apparently?
Oh, really? But the network have done a Blu-ray release, so what were they based on? I don't know what they've got those from, but apparently they're either no longer in existence or just missing, and no one knows where they are. Sylvia Anderson nicked them.
Did you know that there was a big finish audio cache reviving 2015 and 2016? I did. I wonder if that's any good. I like that stuff.
It might work better when you can't see it. I think they're going to pull that on the poster. Terreault, better if you're blind. We could put it on the podcast, better if you're deaf.
That is true. Wait, what? Hey. Hey.
There was also a comic strip that appeared in Lucky magazine. Did you have a lucky magazine? I did not. I remember, I remember, I think I got Lucky magazine, but for a very sharp period of time.
Oh, I never missed an issue for a period between 1991 to about 1987. Wow, that's a bit chunk of time. Do you still have those? I haven't got the issues, but I've got a lot of the annuals.
All right. Yeah, I don't know why I never got into looking, really. I actually like the fact pages. Did you also know that there was a CRL video game released in 1984?
A what video game? CRL. Do you remember CRL? I don't think I do.
They were a software company. They made a few games in the 80s. Okay. I wonder what that was.
Commodore 64 Spectrum. I kind of think. I never had that one. No, I didn't even know existed.
I have to check it out. I bet it's good. It's certainly such a conviction there. Amazing.
Thanks. Who said you can perform? No. Oh, wait.
I've got pills. Also earlier this year, Anderson Entertainment announced the revivals in the works called Kate Kestrel and the TeraHawks. Is that recently? Yeah, 2019.
2019. Okay. Yeah. All right.
It's in the works. It's animation. I don't know. No, it doesn't matter.
No, it doesn't matter. That's all we've got. Yeah. Well, there's been a couple of revivals that those shelves had CGI version and fun fun the birds are going through really well.
You really like it. Do you know, Lee Majus is going to be playing a character in the new season of Fonda Bird's Eye Girl. Lee Majus, didn't he play Cult Severs in The Fall Guy? Yeah, he did.
That's right. Oh, that would be interesting. I've always been a fan of Lee Majus. So, I like that show.
It's a good mixture of animation and CGI and each episode is like a film. Yeah, it's good. The Captain Scout is the one. The story's a really good in the Captain Scout.
Well, it's very dark for a children's show. The CGI is like, well, it's not very good animation. It's older though, isn't it? Yes, it is.
It's one of the first try. Now, the new, the Fonda Bird's Eye Girl is a mixture of animation and actual model work done by Weta, you know, the Lotta the Rings. Oh, really? It's actual model work, isn't it?
Yep, there is, yeah. I might have to check that out. I didn't realise. I thought it was just also you.
Nope, nope. Ships and Tracy Island and anything like that are actual models. We should say as well regarding Tera Hawkes. We used to watch it, didn't we?
See time Sunday afternoon? If you say so, I definitely watched it. I can't remember when it hurt though, yeah. Yeah, yeah it did.
And so you did watch it at the time? Yes. I found out at the time. I'm not sure if I was or not.
It's never stayed with me. You know. It's weird. I have vague memories of enjoying it a lot.
But like you, I'd never gone back to it. This is the first time I must have been back to it in about 20, possibly 30 years. So this is going to be good. Yeah.
Yeah. Is that it? Have we got anything to listen to? Well, there's not trailer for this episode, so we just jump right in.
Okay. We begin with a shot of a monitor and what looks like a video game being played. But this is quickly stopped for communications interrupt and the appearance of Dr. Tiger Nien Stein on Einstein.
How are we going to pronounce it? You go with whatever you want. I'm sure I'll say at least half a dozen different ways as we're going on. I'm going with Stein like Frankenstein.
Makes myself great because he's not a bit like a Frankenstein. And he's created. He's not. So I think that's what I thought.
That's maybe that's what they were going for. Yeah. We realize that part. So he interrupts the video games.
Tera Hox, stay on this channel. This is an emergency. The show's logo flies onto the screen and the opening credits appear. The credits show us the characters and give us the back story to the show.
Handy, right? That's kind of... Well, I mean, it cuts a lot of time, doesn't it? Certainly does.
Merz has been invaded and erf attacked by an evil old crone called Zelda. We see a picture of her. Paul's thinking. I would.
A lot of bad words. Yep. He agrees. Earth is defended from Hawk Nest and we see images of the crew and their names.
First off is Lieutenant-Hero, works with a craft in orbit. We then see Lieutenant-Hock-eye and Captain Kate Kestrel and the ship they usually pilot. Next is Captain Mary Falconer and then we see the Xeroids. These are spherical robots that form the soldiers of the unit and then it shows Dr.
Tiger Nienstein. Now, these are not all their real names. These are like code names. I didn't realize that.
I didn't know that. No, it's in a wiki page apparently. So, so Kate Kestrel isn't really known? None.
No. Not even the Kate bit. No, her real name is Catherine Wesley. Does it ever tell you that in the show then?
I don't know, because Lieutenant-Park-eye is called Headly Howard Anderson III. I can see why he went with Hawkeye. Yeah, I can too. And here are full name unknown.
It says. So it's an interesting collection of characters. Yeah, it is. It's very much from all around the world, typical of a Jerry Anderson show of, you know, space 1999 UFO type.
Yeah, they did it better though, didn't they? Yes, they did. Yes, and we'll get into that. The name Tera-ox flies onto the screen and we're told it is filmed in Super Macromation and Hudson Colour.
Hudson Colour. Oh yeah, which is meaningless because Hudson's just the name of the roles right in the show. And I guess, because the- What's what? What's what?
So what's Super Macromation as opposed to Super Mario Nation then? Closer. I read it's something to do with not, they don't have to use the strings anymore. They don't like Muppets.
So they're popping from underneath rather than above. It's almost like you asked me a question and already know the answer, just to feel superior. Me? Yeah, I would never do that to you.
Okay, so that's what it is, right? It's still made up. They're underneath. Oh, it's about everything.
Oh, Super Mario Nation's making up. I guess it's his technology. They invented this to a certain degree. So whatever you want.
How do you think about the puppets then? Do you think that they're better than stuff they did before? Yeah. This idea was that they were supposed to be better.
I read that they were meant to be more realistic. I think they're better. Yeah, so the ones in Thunderbirds had large heads and then the ones in Captain's Skyler had heads that were proportional to the bodies. And now in Tera-ox you see a further evolution.
It seems like each show they do push the technology along. They've got to know that in this though, they seem to have a weird- They've got a weird look about them, haven't they? It's almost that kind of uncanny valley look to them. Yeah, and I also have a problem telling Hawkeye and Einstein apart.
They're very similar looking. Yeah, I mean, they're completely different character-wise. Yeah, one looks like a younger version of the other. Yeah, do you think that's where it's reaching, that it reached a point where it became unsettling?
I think so. Okay. We cut to the episode title. Expect the unexpected shawn over a planet in space.
A ship flies overhead that looks like a metallic spider creeping through the universe. We're here Zelda in a voice over. Oh, you're going to do the voice. I love this every week.
Great. I haven't attempted this at any point, so this could be a joke. Planet Mars, a small step for us. But a large step towards mankind.
Keep going. No, no, I'm not doing that. Keep going. No, it was great.
It was like she was in the room. Yeah, fuck off. We're here, Zelda in a voice over. Planet Mars, a small step for us, but a large step towards mankind.
Okay. We hear the voice from the NASA, Mars Expedition Base, saying that an alien ship is approaching and that the broadcast in the message in all Earth languages. We are an unarmed geological base. Our purpose here is peaceful exploration of this planet.
At which point, the enemy ships will perfire. Maybe they should have said something like, we contain large amounts of nuclear weapons, and the slightest explosion will blow this entire universe up. Maybe that would have helped. Yeah, they should have pulled the carbon-like maneuver.
Yeah, don't tell people you're peaceful. We have no weapons and you could just kill us instantly. Don't do it. But she blows them up, basically.
Oh yeah, she does. There's multiple explosions on the base and we hear Zelda laughing. This actress isn't doing this voice. It's not a man.
It's the same person who plays Mary Falconer. A lot of the voices are the same. There's only like her for different actors and they do all different voices. She's really enjoying it.
That was what she did in Zelda. I read that Zelda type voice is the one that she normally does for other things. The Mary one is one she doesn't normally do, which is like a normal place. The attack ship returns to the spider shaped mothership.
Each of the attack ship forms a kind of leg to the other ship. It doesn't look like a spider anymore. It's hard to describe the shape. The ships are interesting in terahawks.
I think. They're good looking ships. They work really well. They're good looking at the enterprise part.
Do you want to meet with these mobs? I would never cheat on the enterprise. Okay. Here's my girl.
Hey. Hashtag me two starships. I don't think you can sexually harass the starship. You've got some cracking the cells.
It doesn't sound good though. I don't think it's good. No, don't do that. Alright, I'll do that.
Now to capture my stepping stone. I'm going to continue to use all the advice. Check planet Earth. The ship is now farmed based on those.
Why do we think of the planet effects and the model work so far? The ships are good. The planet effect not so much. Okay.
It looks like a model blowing up. Right. They all look like models for some better than others. That's true.
We are dealing with the puppetry. I can cut it a bit. It's all within the same universe. Prepare for my first attack on Earth.
Are you going to do this all the way through? No. That's not now. You're going to have to get some loisages out.
You're going to really hurt your throat. It's good though. It's better than I thought it. It's very good.
It's very good. It's like it's in the room. Prepare for my first attack. It doesn't sound the same when I do it in my normal voice though.
Prepare for my first attack on Earth. I saw a section of the top of the base liftoff we fade into an image of planet Earth. We see an image of a big house surrounded by a rose garden and a giant statue. Where is a house?
Not a house. When is the White House? Say the Vice. Paul, I think they're using our comedy script writers.
This is funny. That's true. One thousand feet beneath the surface, the battle hark flagship of the terra hox, who's ready to encage the invaders from Mars. This battle hark is underneath the house.
This isn't the White House as in Washington DC. This is just a house that looks like it. It's in South America. That's white.
Yeah. Very confusing. We cut to the inside the battle hark. The tenant here always with Dr.
N Einstein and the look at images of Zelda's base on Mars. Hero asks him what he thinks. A N Einstein replies that are definitely mechanical metamorphs. Oh well.
Yeah. Of course, what I was thinking. Where's he got this? He's got a lot.
I've noticed. Yeah, because it asks exactly what I was thinking. It's like, oh, anybody could do that. I've got things to say about N Einstein.
Yeah. Here's what we do. You pronounce it N Einstein and I'll pronounce it N Einstein and at least one of us is right. Yeah, exactly.
5050. Yeah. So he goes on to say, certainly offensive and preparing to attack. Again.
Just jump into conclusions. He does, doesn't he? Yeah. It looks like our first 10-30 says.
That's funny. My 10-30 is usually a dump. But okay. Whatever takes your fancy.
Oh, there's loads of that in this, wasn't there? 10-30 is 10-45. Yeah, right. I don't know what any of it means.
They love saying it. We do. We don't hear our replies. Okay.
Let's address this here. Because he says, exact three. Sounds good to say. Hero.
Do you want to describe the voice of this character? I think it's very obvious. We haven't said what he's meant to be. He's Japanese.
He's got thick-roomed black glasses. And he mixes up his ears when he's speaking English. He does. Yeah.
But there's worse than that. You know what I'm going to say? You know what I'm going to say? You know what I'm going to say?
No, I don't. It was the 80s. Oh, yeah, of course. That's what you're going to say.
You're going to say again in a second because Einstein replies with, have a good fright. Meaning flight. Now, does he think Hero can only understand him if he switches his arrows and arrows or is he just a casual racist? He's a casual racist who's taking the piss.
Okay. Yeah. And I think that that was aimed at making the kiddies laugh at the time as well. Oh, much better.
Let's promote the casual racism in the scootles, obviously. It's 1980s. Right. So we cut to a big tree and we hear Einstein saying, tree hawk, you have a 1050, which is wrong because it's only a few minutes after we had a 10-30.
It's like 10-32 at best. Is that how it works? That's how it works. No.
You know, the seriousness of the threat goes up with the numbers. The numbers. Right. That's right.
Yeah. We cut to 10th Hero, he's sitting in a craft at a 90-degree angle. He says, 10-10. I'm beginning to suspect that he can't tell the time.
All the clocks are completely messed up. No. Actually, all these numbers are code words, meaning something like FAB and Thunderbirds. So 10-10 is like ready to go.
10-30 is like, we've got an operation. 10-50 is free to fly. You know, they all mean something. But it works better as a word than it does as numbers.
Don't you think? It makes sense instantly. But the numbers, they're just meaningless numbers. Really?
They are just numbers, but they use the same ones to mean the same thing all the time. Mm. Oh. Not convinced.
All right. I've got nothing against numbers. You know, I've been a big fan of them. Yeah, I've learned to love them.
I mean, me numbers go way back. Yeah. We've got check in history. I was going to do like a 32 or a 28 and then I don't know what those numbers mean.
I could have just described a spherical object from what I know. Very small at the top. Very large at the bottom. Oh, wait, hang on.
Isn't that Wisbit? It's a Weebel wobble. No, Wisbit. You loved Wisbit.
What was Wisbit? That triangle thing that pulled Daniels on that kid's yard. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, I did love Wisbit.
I haven't thought about Wisbit in 35 years. Well, now you'll be thinking about it as you go to bed. I'm sorry, I'm comfortable with it. Yeah.
Well, Wisbit is uncomfortable. It's a triangle. The tree separates and the music increases. The tree has tree hock launches from the fake tree and blasts into space.
And then it's dark with a crafting orbit. And the ten heroes says, one on one. I'm docking with space hock now. See you on the flight deck.
One on one, response of ten, ten. I wonder where you're going to go. So we've got a hero who's Japanese. Yes.
And we've got one on one who is what is he? No, no, you studied this conversation. You told me. I think he's very relaxed, isn't he?
Yes, he's very relaxed. Yeah, casual. He's probably hangs out in a certain kind of bar. Oh, really?
What kind? Weatherspoons. Oh, it's like we plump this. Unfortunately, it's because it's the only bad name we could think of.
Yeah. Yeah. So we cut to inside and the ten heroes say hello to his flowers, which all have women's names, like Cassandra. And he complements them on how beautiful they look and how they've grown.
Behind we see one on one, which is a zero-eyed. So it's a ball, basically, right, with two eyes. And it sits on a metal pedestal that they use to make them the same height as people. The ten heroes, please, at one on one.
It's obviously been talking to the plants as he was instructed. And one on one response to respond to the, yes, sir. Hello? He doesn't say no.
Not even as butchered that, right? I've never been accused of being butchered before. You found your line. Yeah.
We've done it here on stage. Dr. Nienstein says the plant flourished because of the zero gravity, which doesn't seem obvious to the way the puppets are moving around in this space dark. But all right.
I never thought that. So they're supposed to be zero gravity in this space station. Well, that's why he says the plant unless they switched to zero gravity when there's nobody's a bard and then switch back when hero darks, which is possible. Let's go with that.
Yeah. But here, I'll believe it's because he talks about him. He says to one on one. Do you know what Nienstein says to me when I tell him that?
Yeah, not replies one on one. Exactly. He says to the ten hero, unfortunately. He says it a few times and he's not the only one that says it.
I know that's what makes it works, right? We cut to a shot at the alien craft approaching Earth. We hear Zelda speaking again. I'm on my way, Earthlings.
Cut to Einstein, playing the video game from earlier. And he's at 748 on the score. Next to him is Sat Murry. Oh, 749.
He's finally going to beat that high score. Oh, but the game is interrupted by Lieutenant Hero on the screen. Nienstein's annoyed. Lieutenant Hero tells him there's an energy force.
Nienstein guesses its trajectory from Mars to Earth. Again. How does he know? Yeah.
So a few things about Nienstein here. For a start, have you noticed that when he talks, he sounds like he's completely soaked? He's supposed to sound like Clint Eastwood. It's supposed to be a version of Clint Eastwood, apparently.
That's what it's based on. No, he sounds like he's stoned. So to the point where I'm pretty sure that when he's playing that computer game, if he looked under the desk, he'd see a huge bag of Doritos under there. Right, wait, wait.
Did he make you stoned? Well, he makes it hungry. No. I think you've been missing Farts, pal.
You're like chugging down with the interest going, I'm still not very happy. I'm not mellow. Very hyper. The other thing is, is that these two characters burst striking in resemblance is to Keronig and Dr.
Russell. Oh, I never thought of that, but yes, Murray does, definitely. Yes. Yes.
Well observed, pal. Glad you watched it. Thank you. Murray says they have all of heroes computer data, but is there a visual sighting?
Hero asks, I'll check against her in a mixture of circus and company, no annoyance. It kind of sounds like you. I'm not sarcastic. That's true.
Just company annoying. Yeah. I said it up for you. I said it up.
No, he's a big guy. No, there's no one like Einstein either. I mean, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the, all the heroes or whatever they call them. They don't like him at all.
They can't stand him. I think it's because, and I may be wrong, it's because nice, that's a dick. I think that's probably the reason. I mean, right?
He's just nasty to everybody. Yes. Now I know he's a mechanic, Fobe. Ooh.
Yeah. He hates mechanical objects that show human emotions. He thinks all mechanical objects should be without emotion and just follow orders. And at later episode, he makes all the zeroes lose their accents and have one single voice.
This back fires on him because Sergeant Major gives them all his voice and it drives Einstein up the wall because they all sound like him. But yeah, he thinks androids should be handroids. But he's still a dick. He's a dick.
He's a dick. He's a dick. He gets more dick issues that goes on. And that's one of my problems with the show is I don't like the main character because I'm assuming he's supposed to be the main character, right?
Even though it's an ensemble show. Yeah. Well, yeah, I have problems with him. I have similar feelings about most of the characters and I don't find any of them particularly more men or likeable.
That's a problem. No, it's all right. I can see why I like her. So an antenna pops out of one of one's top and he instructs the right one to a hundred that they have a contact and that they keep their eyes peeled.
Outside of space, duck, we discovered that the visual detection is a hundred zero. It's all stirring into space, looking around and making odd noises. The one thing you've got to say about the show is clearly the writers are the creators of the creators of the drugs at the time. They made this.
Yes. They're all kind of like jipper into each other. Yeah, right. Mm.
Yeah. Yeah. But you can't fault it for its originality. In some ways.
Yeah. In other respects, I think they're just riffing on past things that they've done before. Yeah. And there's bits and underbears, bits of space, 1999, bits of UFO.
Yeah, absolutely. I totally agree with you there. Yeah. So we cut back to Battlehawk.
Einstein says they must have a visual sighting by now. Mary agrees that the kinds of sensors they should, but the zero is report. No. And a hundred zero is can't be wrong.
Well, nice. They said, mmm, neither can our sensors. I mean, spicy, like Roger Baster's like hello. I will go.
Sorry. No, no, no, he was at his camp as that. Oh, man. Hi, have you just sat down quickly?
But, um, that's right. It's not like the 70s. Nice. Nice.
I suppose to sound like Clint Eastwood. Kind of. It's a real fun. Doesn't work.
No. He tells Hero to lock onto the energy source and blast it, which appears to be nice. That's it. Everything, right?
Yeah, just shoot it. Yeah, that's that's it. It's solution. But here I'll say they don't even have a radar echo.
Anyway, one of one tells a zero-eyed covering MERS sector to open fire. Oh, they do. And there's explosions in space. But the energy source is still heading for Earth.
We see a shot of Earth slowly approaching them, cut to the White House and the water around it. Then inside we see another craft ready for launching. It's Kate's guest role as the pilot and Hawkeye on the wing. Event under the water steps to spin and creates a funnel in the ocean.
The ship launches through the funnel out of the water and into the sky. It sounds more impressive the way you describe it than what it actually looked like. Oh, you didn't like it? It was a bit wobbly wobbly when it came out of that water.
What have I told you about sharing your private life on the podcast? You need to keep it separate. Sorry. I didn't mind it because I like the idea of the funnel.
Being creative. I don't think that would work. I don't think that would work. But I like the idea of it.
