Originally posted by PalynkaI'm running through Mission:Impossible again at the moment and I reckon it's aged pretty well. I used to like Space: 1999 too. And U.F.O. And The Survivors. And Star Trek when it was syndicated in the early 70s. And Dr.Who. And The Invaders. And The Prisoner.
Space: 1999 was one of my favourite shows when I was a young'un. I imagine that, like most of these shows, it has aged terribly and so I refuse watching it again.

Originally posted by Shallow BlueNo, no, no! Back then the organization the heroes worked for had a secret computer that could not lose even to the evil Russian champion.

And so he was wearing glasses from which the good guys were broadcasting the moves to him. But then something went wrong, so Nimoy had to win the endgame on his own!
Pah. Even I can win against a computer that's broken down. (Don't ask about computers that are still working. Please.)

Okay, so which one of them won the poker game, when that cheating scheme also failed?
