i loved the first couple episodes, as they showed the complex in action


and had variable camera set-ups) but later, every shot was in front of the tunnels mouth,(1-camera set up)not even another side view of the tunnels infinite vortex coils…..or landing in stock footage land; I grew bored noting the films grainy stock at times meant they were borrowing scenes from movies, OR from movies that i had seen, finally recognizing various props machines or sets from Lost in Space or Voyage TTBOTS made me feel the cheapness of the program…too bad….if they had been able to come back into the tunnel and film more around the complex, it might have been more interesting.

There must have been lots of interesting places to go in that complex

I always had that certain fascination with the TIC TOK installation. I wanted to see more of it; their living quarters, recreation, other facets of the place, and, yes, more various shots and angels of the tunnel.

Of course, that meant a higher budget, and Allen was allowed 'just so much' and reused those same shots.
