Seriously--that flying saucer gets parked in an unstable top-heavy manner with only two support legs with built in stairs. If that dust had been whipped up by some kind of wind, that saucer craft would have been blown over like a sombrero.

I spotted a 3rd leg in a later frame so I'm wondering if that was added as an afterthought. I did count 'em while looking for a 3rd leg earlier.

Seriously? Morpheus' daughter wears clothes but no shoes????

Ah, a moment of levity (literally) when a crew member got hauled off by the seat of his pants. I went to look for what actor that was because I recognized the face, but I can't find a list of the cast that uses photos taken from the movie and I'm afraid I just don't recognize him as an old man.

"I'll have less dreaming on this ship!" should go down as one of Leslie's famous lines like "And don't call me Shirley!"

Oh now that's too cute--ampere gauges that scale logarithmically exponentially.
Uh huh.

Van de Graaf globes on a monorail. Got it. But what exactly is "2,000 centuries" in Altair 4 time? How does that convert to Earth time?

Lemme guess--that energy monster was just something somebody dreamed up.

...and right after I typed that up, a dying man mentioned "monsters from the id" so we have Freud coming in to haunt the place. Okay, it's time to mention what life was like in the 1950s that was an era of humanity trying to get past Sigmund Freud or making arguments to stick with him--and you'll find wide manifestations of this in both TV and movies produced in the 1950s; Alfred Hitchcock and Rod Serling both made their fortunes based on Freudian theories and rebuttals.
"We're all monsters in our subconscious and that's why we have laws and religion!"
Those words should be immortalized.

Ah. Blown to Krell and back. The End.
...and then I found out that an infamous Governor of Alabama was playing a bit part in that movie. Well, I did know that he was listed as cast member when I went looking for Earl Holliman, but DAMN I sure didn't recognize him...but then again, my memory of him was of a fat bigoted bastard. You got to see him in the opening minutes of the movie, getting talked to by Nielson. Fancy that.
