What TV (or movie) spaceship did you want to live in?

R2D2 made him the tea. He used the force to hover the cup in front of his lips. There must be some force trick for not peeing. Either that or a jumbo family planning device.

Re: What TV (or movie) spaceship did you want to live in?

I loved spaceships when I was a kid. I was fascinated by the Starship Enterprise. I saw the remastered version recently and they've replaced the model with CGI. It just isn't the same. I remember a running joke in our family was whether it had a toilet.

Now, when I see Luke Skywalker travelling to see Yoda in his little X-wing fighter in the Empire Strikes Back, I can't help thinking that he's travelling such a long distance without a toilet or somewhere to make a cup of tea .

Alien did it for me...Finally saw the film on World cup final night 1982. It was on ITV after the final.

I must have seen that too. I must have been thirteen. In our family we were allowed to watch the big X-rated films as long as we watched it together and there was no school tomorrow. We watched Jaws that way as well I remember.

I'd love to experience flights on the Millennium Falcon but for long term living it would have to be Red Dwarf for me. Although the Enterprise is more comfortable I hate the uniforms and the regimented atmos.

The Tardis would be my first choice, followed by Red Dwarf.

Millennium Falcon every time. Read 'Han Solo at Star's End' and 'Han Solo's Revenge' for details on why...

Ha ha yeah, actually it doesn't look that bad. My impressionable young imagination somehow remembered them actually floating around on a glowing force field like Luke's.

Anyway I think the point of my mentioning them was that Logan and Jessica's was a much larger vehicle that must have doubled as their home too.



As a young lad I would have wanted to be Logan living there too, although probably without Rem watching over us .

Was this the land speeder?

Re: What TV (or movie) spaceship did you want to live in?

Yeah but you never noticed the cheap sets when you were a kid. It all looked so cool.

On a similar note, I always had this memory of Logan and Jessica racing around in this supercool land speeder better than the one from starwars and Francis would sometimes turn up in an even cooler looking one. That memory didn't turn out so well, but on the plus side Donald Moffat was far better than I remembered.

There are aspects of the Scorpio I liked, though at times you could really see the three studio walls and the one left out for the cameras! All in all, I prefer the Liberator. The external design was more alien and despite the wobbly control positions, I liked the inside too.

Re: What TV (or movie) spaceship did you want to live in?

I always prefered the scorpio to liberator, it reminded me of the millenium falcon. You could imagine it ferrrying contraband and limping between planets, not like Blake in his shiny liberator.

Re: What TV (or movie) spaceship did you want to live in?

The Liberator would be cool to live on, mainly because one of the rooms is full of large amounts of treasure and money.

Alien did it for me. I was fascinated by it from reading the initial 3 part serialisation in the local paper when the film was due. I was only 12 and not old enough to see it although I could if I lived in the US. I asked my mum to buy me the novel (as a norm I didn't have the patience for books). Reading it just made me more eager to see it. I ended up buying pretty much any book relating to it. The whole production design was unlike anything i'd ever seen.

Finally saw the film on World cup final night 1982. It was on ITV after the final.

have you still got all those alien books branny.
yes the tardis and the enterprise
where two id have loved to live in.

Re: What TV (or movie) spaceship did you want to live in?

"Alien did it for me."

Brilliant movie I agree, but the Nostromo was really just a big haunted house in space and not the kind of vessel I would dream of spending a tour of duty on!

I would. It seemed more realistic than the usual sparkly antiseptic space portrayed by nearly every other sci fi movie made.

Re: What TV (or movie) spaceship did you want to live in?

...What about the 'Valley Forge' space ark from the 1972 movie Silent Running? That even had its own forests on board and struck me as pretty damn impressive.

I'd love to live on a spaceship with all that greenery. I think you'd proabably need that on long journeys to stop yourself going quite mad.
