Off Topic Discussion / Re: And I quote...

This Carl Sagan quote from 1995 has been making the rounds again because of how eerily it seems to describe the current times:

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness..."

It's possible that PART 4 has brief flashbacks to the first 3, but none of the same actors or characters from the first three appear in 4. If the story has any relation to the previous films, it's purely contextual/in the dialogue. Granted I saw it 35-ish years ago but that was my take at the time.......

I meant that 4 is a faithful adaptation of the original novel.

The final scene sets up a sequel. A prequel would be even funnier - all the human characters from the original (except the doctor, who is new to the crew) sail from one port to another, deliver their freight, and absolutely nothing goes awry.

Trevor might know better, but - I don't think the events of any HOWLING movie are actually related to the events of any other HOWLING movie...?

I'm pretty sure Part 7 has flashbacks to Part 5, and now I think about it I seem to remember Part 4 actually having flashbacks to all the previous 3?.... may be wrong. need a HOWLING marathon binge to refresh the memory, errrr... look forward to that

I included Howling 4 as critics say it is a faithful adaptation of the original Gary Bradner novel. Not sure about that as I couldn't wait for the film to end 😏😉

A lot of money and effort clearly went into LAST VOYAGE and it seems clear the producers hoped for a sequel. (THE NEXT VOYAGE AFTER THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER?)

Or a prequel: THE NEXT TO LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER
