Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Page #3

Synopsis: In 1987, NASA astronaut William "Buck" Rogers is caught in a freak accident in deep space, causing his space shuttle Ranger 3 to be blown into an orbit that returns him to Earth - over 500 years later. The combination of gases that freezes him comes close to the formula commonly used in the 25th century for preservation, and his rescuers are able to revive him. In 2491, when Buck awakens from the freezing, Earth is recovering from a nuclear war and is coming under hostile attack by the Draconian Empire. In the second season, Buck has been assigned aboard the Searcher, a starship exploring the unknown reaches of space while searching for former Earth colonies that are scattered across the galaxy.
  Won 1 Primetime Emmy. Another 5 nominations.

You are not familiar.

Who are they?

Limit your answers to "yes" and \ x22.

It is in serious danger.

Whose? Of you?

It crosses a narrow corridor

that leads to the inner cities.

Cities what? Look, miss...

Colonel Deering. Now, keep silent.

If you leave the indicated route...

It will become steam, do you understand?

In steam? Yes Yes, I understand.

What should I do?

- Can you handle the ship manually?

- Clear.

Then, follow me very closely.

I'm after you.

This time they won us.

It must be the Russians.

He's doing fine.

- How do you say?

- I'm just trying to be friendly.

Violating our airspace is an

act of war, not friendship.

Wait until the Cape

guys find out.

Buck Rogers will land in

the center of Red Square.

Air control 1 access.

Cleared in the 1-0 corridor

Able for the approaching ship.

Confirmed. Open exterior

barriers for approach...

in the 1-0 corridor Able

for the approaching ship.

Hey, baby, what a great deal.

I'm Colonel Deering, commander

of Terrestrial Defense.

- You. Are you in charge of all this?

- Right.

- If there are no more questions...

- Hey, Colonel, quiet.

I would fly with you whenever you want.

- Interrogate this barbarian.

- What?

Listen. Hey, wait a moment!

I waited!

What... What do they do?

Hey, wait a minute!

How are you, Captain Rogers?

I am Dr. Huer.

I am very happy to meet you.

What is happening?

Where am I and what do they do to me?

We are studying it.

Everything is electronic and painless.

But we are as astonished as you.

For what happened.

But his tests give

us phenomenal data.

Fabulous. What is happening?

If I'm dead, I did not go to heaven.

What planet is this?

What planet?

Oh, it's Earth, of course.

He returned as his mission demanded...

to almost the precise area of

scheduled landing on your ship.

Look, doctor.

I've been through a lot...

but in no way will you tell me...

that that city is Chicago.

No, it is not. There is nothing

left on Earth like Chicago.

Allow me to bring my administrator, Dr.

Theopolis.

Look, doctor...

Twiki, could you bring Dr.

Theopolis, please?

- What is that?

- He is Twiki.

- It's your robot.

- My what?

During your report and determination...

Twiki will be your assistant.

And this...

This is Dr. Theopolis.

Good morning, Dr. Theopolis.

It is a beautiful day.

Thank you. I did my best.

Dr. Theopolis is a member

of the Computer Council.

And in addition to other

things, he is responsible...

of the environmental controls

of the Internal City.

This afternoon I will introduce

a touch of mauve at sunset.

Not as deep as an amethyst...

but a more subtle

texture like cinnamon.

That's good.

I hope the captain sees it with us.
