35. Movie and TV episode

Fri Jan 17, 2025, 05:51 PM

Jan 17

Forbidden Planet is my favorite movie Sci Fi and deserves to be placed among the great movies of all time.

The specific TV sci fi episode that is my favorite (I even wrote a song inspired by it) is ST TOS : The City On The Edge of Forever
