Triffids

[minestrone]

1. Triffids are dangerous
2. It was set in the future
3. Terrorists
4. It was in the script

any of the above

Does that mean the police will still be using the Ford Focus in the future?

I thought The Chrysalids was by far John Wyndam's best.

Great book. Triffids and Kraken are also very nice, as was Web after the very slow start. It's a same he wrote so few books really.

Of course.

Ford will be the only car available in the future

I have a first edition of the Seeds of Time somewhere, completely lost in the house move. Probably in one of the boxes that litter my office.

Any idiot can use a gun, it's not using one that takes intelligence

It's easy for you to say - you'd just dive in deep at the first sign of troubles!

This would never have happened under the Tories.

Dougray Scott was excellent in it, otherwise it was pants.

That blonde lady should have acted better, I'm sure she was better when she 'did' 101 Dalmations.

Well, the second part of Triffids portrayed the supposedly highly intelligent hero and his equally intelligent father as total knobheads once again.
What an anti-climax.

Why do they always portray these characters as incompetents?

They didn't even lock the doors when they went to bed for Christ's sake!

"Something's not right!, Something's up!" lets leave the guns behind and just rush in

C'mon script writers, if you have a total lack of intelligence or common sense, at least grant the audience the benefit of the doubt

It's like the old horror movies, 6 people have been killed, there's a noise in the basement, Let's go down there alone in the dark

WTF was the final escape from the killer rhubarb all about. Dribble some poison into your eyes through an old wooden mask and they leave you alone?

At least give a few seconds scientific explanation to help some of the audience who are not completely asleep by the end.

WTS. The second half was a bit more poor than the first. Still kind of enjoyed it though.
