Episode #2 is one of my favorites. Especially the dialog. Haggling with the used car salesman, the scene in the cafe where the mother says, " I can Breath" in the country and Starman replies "I breath everywhere", the scene in the cabin where Starman suggests that he and the mother can share one of the beds and that Scott and the girl can share the other. Scott tells him, "You just don't do stuff like that" and Staman replies, "But if we do it, then it's done." Later that night, outside, Scott looking up at the sky and asking, "So, which one is it?" Starman replies, "There, that one just over the horizon." It gave me a chill but I also recognized an error. To a sailor, if something is "over the horizon", it can't be seen. "Above the horizon" would have been more accurate. The scene where Starman calms down an angry, growling dog by lowering the frequency of his brain waves (gave me an inspiration for one of the uses of the sphere that I discussed in the "It's Not Magic" article). The scene in the cave where Scott loses his sphere and tells Starman, "I can't do it" when Starman tells him he can calm down the puma. Starman replies something like, "Yes, you can. You are my son". Finally, as they are ready to leave, Scot calls out "Come on, dad". Starman gets into the car and says, "Scott, you called me dad." Scott replies, "Only to get your attention, don't fall apart." Starman moved me that way that no other series ever had before or since. I think part of the reason was that I recognized so many scenes that involved something that I wished I had done with my father. I would have loved to have shared watching the episodes with him and discussing them afterwards. Unfortunately, he died in 1978. I quoted all of the dialog from memory, so if I misquoted something, I apologize.

You are 100% right- so much of what is on TV right now is terrible. Wish it was back on the air..

Subject: [SN] The DVD

I tried to post this last night using my 'not so' smart phone because it sent it to the admin addy- not this one..lol This is what I wrote:

Wow. I watched the first 2 episodes of the DVD and I was flooded with memories. Even though I haven't watched the show in years..I remembered all of the dialog like it was just yesterday. The 2nd episode was the only one I have never seen so finally being able to watch it after waiting all these years was wonderful . It feels like I'm catching up on "old times".

That show is a classic. It stands the test of time. It is just as current as anything else on TV. I am enjoying it immensely! Marilyn
