Back classic Nickelodeon days, they played a British Sci-Fi show
called The Tomorrow People. I was like 10 years old, early
1980s. I was haunted by this one scene in the show. The
introduction started as it normally did, but on the VERY LAST
NOTE of the theme, they replaced it with an explosion that i
didn't expect. The people on this show didn't do Time Travel but
here they did, and because of a mistake they made, there was an
implosion of the time vortex and they had to "watch out for the
vacuum!" and they were getting sucked towards the center of the
implosion..
After this point, history had change and when they returned to
1970s England, the Roman Empire was *still* around, technology
was thousands of years advanced, and all sorts of stuff. So,
this explosion was the turning point and it just stuck with me
for years and I wanted to see it again. So, I found it the other
day on a search. I look at it now and it's the same cheesy
special fx I remember; even at the first (an only) watching, I
knew they were cheesy. But I didn't care because of the
storyline, which was new to me at the time... this idea of not
only changing history but introducing technology 2000 years ago
that advanced human civilization (great!) but the Romans ran
everything like Nazi Germany and it really wasn't a good thing.
Anyway, I wanted to share. It's not something that would be
meaningful to TOO many people out there: You'd have had to have
been a kid at the time yourself *and* a watcher of the show to
appreciate it fully. But it was nice to get this haunting image
out of my head now that I've seen it again. Now that I've tied
it together I can put it aside. :)
