Tim...thank you for your summary review of Universe. I gather you enjoyed it...I usually do...it's fast moving, with stirring music, lots of action, and I agree with you about the best dialog in the trilogy.

I also feel it's different from the '36/38 serials, not only because of some different cast, but costumes, more action, warfare and chilling aspects. This was more modern than first two. We have our favorites and perhaps certain ones in the trilogy are favored for different reasons. That's ok...and sometimes we change our minds in ranking favorites here.

You brought up something we don't often discuss...dialog. Yes, this 1940 serial has good dialog. You know, when you watch the three FG serials, come to think of it, dialog, maybe diction, articulation..well, English in general, is quite good, proper, tasteful, relevant. Guess in the world of cinema, and especially serials, to me the script work of FG trilogy would easily land an "A"...oh and no wisecracks from guys about accents. Good job Tim, papers are in the works for a promotion, but we must still resolve issue with Father Time and the High Priest.
