The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne

November 13th, 2014 § 0 comments

I’ve just seen the latest Christopher Nolan epic, but alas, even as cosmic a journey as that requires a return home, where relativity really kicks in and I am instead draped on a metal folding chair in front of all 22 episodes of SciFi’s turn-of-the-century response to Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentleman. The series apparently pioneered hi-def, though you couldn’t tell from these recordings, so I’m left to appreciate it mainly for the ass-kicking Rebecca Fogg character, who probably owes more to Emma Peel than Lara Croft, but nevertheless is deplorably left off most lists of peers. I like the theme, too. Haven’t heard one like it since.
