On this final bonus episode at least for now we are taking a look at an episode of the Canadian childrens series Goosebumps, you may ask why and the answer is simple as the episode “It Came From Beneath The Sink” features Amanda Tapping and Katharine Isabelle and was directed by David Winning. The series was based on the novels of R. L. Stine and offered four seasons of horror themed stories to add that little bit of spice to a young person’s television viewing, not intended for really young children but spooky and scary enough for those who recognised that television wasn’t real.
In “It Came From Beneath The Sink” a family move into a new home and the daughter discovers a strange sponge like creature resident in the house, it quickly proves itself to be anything but a playful pet and thanks to a little research by a young friend of the family and a disastrous attempt to rope in the schools science teacher the type of creature is discovered and a way to fight it is found which gives you a sort of happy ending. The show despite the spooky element has a lot of humour and this episode makes full use of the nerdy friend and lovable family pet “killer” who has more sense than any of the humans.
Eat your Vegetables
Amanda Tapping plays the mother of the family and it’s a pretty small supporting role, a young Katharine Isabelle is the lead in the episode and plays her part well and the episode is directed by David Winning who also directed the Stargate Atlantis episode “Childhoods End”.
Many thanks to Brad who joined me for this episode as Alan was doing his Discworld convention thing and thanks to everyone who has supported us over the holiday season by listening to the bonus shows, next week we go back to our regular Stargate shows with the Atlantis episode “Conversion”. Thanks for the feedback especially Brad and Dan for the voicemails and we would love to hear from you about our show and more importantly Stargate in all it’s flavours. If you fancy helping the podcast then an itunes review and/or rating would be much appreciated, same goes for stitcher and a simple tweet or mention on an social media portal would be most welcome.
One final mention for Brad who recorded a review of the Big Finish Stargate Atlantis audio drama entitled “A Necessary Evil” which was for an intended review show which never came about, the review was added to this show and the Big Finish productions are well worth checking out.
It’s that time of year again and the first of our seasonal bonus episodes will be an episode of Seaquest. The show is an American scifi series set in the near future about a state of the art submarine and it’s crew in a world that is significantly different from ours yet the people are very much the same. The particular episode is from the second season called “Vapors” and stars four of the DeLuise clan beginning with Peter and Michael who are regulars on the show with Dom as a major guest star and David appearing in a bit part. In Vapors Tony (Michael) is asked by his father Nick (Dom) to help him with a problem as his mother is taking some drugs which are causing a few problems. Tony takes Lucas and Dagwood (Peter) along with him on this adventure and they visit Buddy’s a dance club and smoking establishment which is managed by David’s character. This story is a lot of fun and exploits the dynamic between the DeLuise family and does overlap with the other story line which deals with some of the issues with Bridger (Roy Scheider) and the ships CMO Dr Wendy Smith (Rosalind Allen) with further emotional ups and downs with other members of the ships crew leading to a get together at the end of the day at the Captains beach house.
A Grand Day Out
Vapors is a fairly decent episode for someone new to the series to begin with, it’s pretty much standalone and in many ways does act as a little primer but of course the ship and crew we see in the second season is very much different to that of the first season and more so in the third season. Seaquest had many ups and downs during it’s three year life on television even with the Spielberg name involved but they aimed high and many times hit the mark by providing good adventure stories backed with science and environmental themes to educate and entertain the audience.
His Best Friend is a Dolphin
A huge thank you to Thomas who recommended this episode for a bonus show and for joining us to record the show, always tricky to sort out a time with someone in the US or any country with a significant time difference but rewarding when it all works out. Next weeks bonus episode will be the Hewlett movie “A Dog’s Breakfast” and that’ll be just me and Alan doing the commentary, it will be a longer episode as you would expect and hopefully worth the extra time to listen too:) Links…
