Robots Of Death

[fangrrl_squees]

honorarydoctor and I have been talking about re-creating the Voc robots from Robots of Death. With that in mind, I found a bargain-priced copy of the DVD at Fry's and I'm watching it at the moment.

Holy cow! Forget the robots, I want to re-create the miners' gear!

I've not seen the story in at least 20 years, so I'm not surprised that I'd forgotten about the sheer fabulousness of the design. Even the little things, like the makeup on the humans mimicking the painted pattern on the robots' faces (or vice versa). Utterly awesome.

The story's great, of course. I'm going to re-read Corpse Marker tomorrow. Re-listening to the Kaldor City audios is, of course, inevitable.

Eveything is made of awesome about that episode except the hats.

Oh, I dunno, I thought Uvanov's hat was moderately awesome.

Toos and the rest, though? I agree with you. Especially Toos' sea-horse-frill head ensemble.

Still, I get the impression the designers had a LOT of fun with that story. :)
