Okay I ‘m writing this only because I had the great idea of watching Silent Running with the kids at the weekend. Talk about a bad move. I had totally forgotten how disturbing it might be for a nine year old. Yes there were tears and we had to stop after one of the little robots didn’t get back into the ship during a cosmic storm and was ripped from its legs whilst roaming the outside of the ship….. as of course you do when you are a little simian robot thing in space. I hadn’t actually watched it for about 15 years and thought it would be tame compared to Star Wars……. Now my child is scarred for life.

But I digress, the real reason is to share this Blog and Post that I happened upon recently. The 10 Worst Spaceships of All Time.

Just so happens that the Valley Forge from Silent Running is in there at #3. The rest of the blog has some gems too like: The 24 Biggest Assholes of Lost and Sawyer’s a Huge, Huge Dickweed Parental advisory on some of the language in this one .

Anyway I want to nominate ‘The Liberator‘ [frameset warning] from BBC TV series Blake’s Seven probably the cheesiest SciFi series ever although as a 12 year old I loved it.
