David, it always comes down to "vision" and conception of the character in question..
Werewolves can be very "dog liked" or just a little fuzzy!
The best, (ImHO) are those that combine the physical beast with the subtle human! _________________ There comes a time, thief, when gold loses its lustre, and the gems cease to sparkle, and the throne room becomes a prison; and all that is left is a father's love for his child. |

I found these on Facebook and it shows the effort that went into designing the show.

These are terrific to view, thank you, David.
It shows how the fantastic Flying Sub could have been even more invaluable than it already was if it had mechanical arms on it. It would have allowed episodes where the FS could have manipulated objects in key scenes. If there were episodes with the arms I cannot recall seeing 'em used. In effect, the mechanical arms would have been a predecessor to the marvelous unmanned Hyper-Reality Vehicle utilized on seaQuest D.S.V.
The schematic of the oft used undersea station was very informative about the structure with details I never knew about it, or perhaps, just didn't recall.
I've always found it a lacking when SF television shows present such things but never show the audience the details about such objects. I'm enjoying the brand new Sy Fy Channel's The Ark series now. However, one has to just watch the episodes unfold in order to figure out how the inside of the star ship is set up. Thank goodness I could go online at Google Images which has a schematic of the Ark itself. However, it still would be nice to see episodes where the crew would be studying their schematics via a holographic image and have the camera zoom in on the schematics so that the audience could get a better understanding of the interior of the vessel & where things are relative to one another.

There were several Flying Subs made in different sizes for different purposes. One was multipurpose for scenes of the FS landing on land or deck, and with manipulator arms. This FS was, as far as I can remember, used in only one episode. This was the episode where Capt. Crane becomes a werewolf.
The landing wheels (note the spiral spokes) folded down to be pads for the FS to rest on in the episode.

I noticed a discrepancy after watching the pilot episode, "Eleven Days to Zero," from September 14, 1964 on Uncle Earl's Classic TV.
Evil Dr. Gamma is played by the fine actor Theodore Marcuse. The character has his back to the camera in most of his scenes and is in shadows, so we don't clearly see Marcuse throughout this first episode. When Dr. Gamma speaks it is the voice of Werner Klemperer and not Marcuse. However, in Gamma's final scene it is Marcuse's voice.

Just finished watching the first season episode "The Indestructible Man" with the wonderful guest star Michael Constantine (Principal Seymore Hoffman of Room 222).
The plot sees Michael as a scientist who is on board the Seaview as it races to recover a US spaceship that has returned from months of outer space exploration. It is a robot at the controls of the ship and it has gathered invaluable data on its journey. The robot is recovered, but something has gone seriously wrong as the mechanical man begins a rampage aboard the futuristic submarine as it begins to kill anyone in its path. |
