Star Wars and Star Trek both stole a great deal from 1938 era Buck Rogers which Robert and I have been watching lately. The special effects consist of models and firecrackers and the costume and set design are Art Deco meets Space Age (which that alone is worth watching for in my opinion!) It's really cute and kind of trippy and fun. Except for the Zuggs! They are the Epsilon-Minor types lumbering around doing brainless things. They remind me of all of the "mouth-breathing mall waddlers" as Lord Whimsy put so aptly.
