6 SIGNIFICANT YEARS OF THE FUTURE

When I was a kid, there were 6 significant years of the Future:
1984
George Orwell's scary vision of the future which sadly is coming true with each passing year and generation. Wheeee!
---
---
1987
This is the year BUCK ROGERS launched into space, accidentally frozen for 504 years, and then revived in the 25th Century where he becomes the Galactic Uber-Hero and bangs the super foxy Erin Gray.
---
*extra bonus: the 1990s
At some point in the 1990s, during the "Eugenics Wars", the space craft "SS Botany Bay" is launched carrying 84 passengers, the most dangerous being Khan Noonien Singh.
---
1999
Before the 2000 New Year's global party crazy kicked in (driving this song into the ground) it was THE theme song for the inevitable doomsday party in purple.
---
2001
The crazy future that will blow your mind upon viewing. 2001 became "the year of the Future" with this great movie.
---
2010
If 2001 was the Year of the Future, then 2010 was the Future's Future; Terrifying and barely imaginable. Now here we are. Where do we go from here? Oh, that's right....
---
2012
The end of the world!

Did Buck actually ever get it on with Wilma? I'm pretty sure it never happened.
Incidentally, my favourite episode is the one with the telekinetic(?) dwarves "off think, off think"

If he didn't, then he's a total failure and should be stripped of the title "My Hero" :)

Maybe Buck didn't do Wilma, but I bet Gil did Erin.
That evil alien Princess was pretty hot though and I'm sure he nailed her.
Either way, his hero status is unquestionable.

the best episode is when Wilma gets taken over by a Space Vampire (space seed?)

She attempts to seduce Buck,....
