TV-Commentary - Buck Rogers
How did those watches work in Mark of the Saurians?
The only halfway decent episode of the second season was "The Mark of the Saurians". It was about an invasion force of lizards who used wristwatches to appear human. But Buck could see them for what they were because he suffered from Mono or something.

My question is, how could they program their watches to make them appear with specific characteristics? A watch just has a button or two, did it have preprogrammed settings?

And why didn't the lizards eat Dr. Goodfellow? Or Admiral Asimov? He certainly has enough meat on his bones....

maybe the watches projected holograms around the saurians. just a hunch. do you suppose they cost as much as a rolex? also, i always like the saytr episode. it was kind of cool watching buck turn into a billy goat. the crystals episode was okay too. one more thing, this ridiculous shuttle from the second season, was it the same ship buck was frozen in 500 years earlier? personally, i liked the shuttles from the first season better. take care.
