Yay! Taieillin! Did you see Stingray in Russia, or is this your first time seeing it?


This is my first time. I have never heard about it.

Do you know anything about Gerry and Sylvia Anderson?


Yes. I watched the first season of "Space:1999".

For its time, it had some good storylines and special effects. You have to view it through 1964 eyes!


And even, at times, some surprisingly adult themes!

How much do you bet Aqua Marina is going to show up somehow and make friends with Nessie and claim he's just misunderstood.

S1 is definitely the best.

I hope not. She gets on my nerves.

It is fine. I watched with interest classis series of "Doctor Who". It is interesting to watch sth. from that time.
It is just these dolls are a bit strange. We had cartoons with puppets, and some of them are really good. Still, you need to get used to this.

Mine too - although it's Troy that annoys me really. This week, with Marina out of the way, he has his hand on Atlanta's shoulder. Fickle so-and-so!

Not my favourite sci-fi tv series, but it was enjoyable at times.

I do find the puppets a bit odd - I don't know why they used them.

Yeah, they should throw him out of the hatch when they're in the deep.

I bet the real Nessie turns up.


...or maybe not. Sad

It was a bit cruel. They could have hurt Nessie!
 
M1795537OCVirn
Argh!! Please, no more wasps!

OK, I was wrong (for once) about Marina. For your information, Taiellin, she's a sort of underwater lady who Troy seems to prefer to Atlanta. Perhaps because Marina can't (or won't) talk.

AnneArthur
OK, that was a more light-hearted episode. When do we start the next one?

An interesting solution: they know the trutch but prefer not to tell about it.

Yes, sometimes absense of speech can be an advantage.

Maybe. Who knows.

Surely Marina's going to turn up this time!

Philistine!
The music behind the opening credits of the series is an excerpt from the Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia from the ballet Spartacus by Aram Khachaturian.
