Has anyone seen that other classic UK horror movie featuring the classic scene of a demon, who was depicted as being as large as King Kong, being struck by a train? It was called Night of the Demon.

I love Night of the Demon. The scene you mention at the end, when the monster is revealed is about it's only bad point. Up until then it'd done a great job of suggesting 'something', and so when the Kong-like demon finally arrives it reduces everything down to the level of your average B monster movie. Besides that though, it is great.

Back on the British sf/horror tip, Lifeforce is a real guilty pleasure of mine. Everyone seems to hate it but I can't seem to get enough of it.

OG Trek was a product of it's time. It had no budget, and therefore spent its energy on story and plot. I loved it as a kid (in reruns), and Spock is the ultimate ideal for a human being who seeks to detach themselves from animalistic emotions. To this day he is analytical people's hero.

The Twilight Zone was an amazing anthology. I loved that show too.

Trek TNG was awesome (after that sad first season) because it did not deal with the same plots as the original, where the humans were always fish out of water. TNG dealt with the intellectual rigors of exploration, and the diplomacy needed to maintain peace in a universe populated by varying races with varying ideals.

my personal fave is Deep Space Nine. I have loved it ever since it came out, and I re-watched the whole thing with my wife when it appeared on the Netflix. Of all the Trek, DS9 is the one that most explored the parts of interstellar exploration that are seen as "negative," the loneliness, isolation, fear, jingoism, racisms, death, war, intergalactic war nonetheless, PTSD, etc. Whereas OG Trek was about enlightened humans coming together to explore the Universe, and TNG was about the power of humanity to stick by what is ethical and good and proper and RIGHT, Deep Space Nine is about the losses and burdens that each being must suffer because of their decisions.

Every character, even the dozens of minor ones, had character arcs and suffered great losses, and had to deal with them and continue living and working. It was amazing.

OST is fucking great. Even the really bad episodes (um...Spock's Brain, anyone?) are entertaining. Shatner was one hell of an actor (fuck, that rhymes). Recently I paid $60ish for the whole series on DVD....CBS "remastered". That's less than a dollar per episode, and I'm not one of the 5 billion people in this world who are convinced that DVD is far far inferior to Blu. It was a great buy and I don't mind the "tweaking" that was employed. My 7yr old absolutely loved The Trouble With Tribbles. I'm old....53....so I have a soft spot for OST. And FUCK the music is great.
