Posted At 19:05:05 03/14/2002 I agree, it sure doe not look like something from the Victorian Era and will never replace George Pal's Time Machine Prop. Just like the new Hollywood always over done. |

Posted At 11:13:45 03/15/2002 I'd like one, and I would put it next to the one I built of Pals', It sure is a lot better than the one that was built for "Time After Time" that movie was good but the machine looked like a Jules Verne Submarine |

Posted At 22:39:00 03/16/2002 For my part, I will take a Verne submarine over a Lunar lander (what the DW Time Machine looks like) any day. Besides, the submarine shape is more in line with the symbolism of Wells's words. The Machine in "Time After Time" has the name "Argo" on the front, a reference to what Wells called the Machine in "The Chronic Argonauts". Of course, Argo is an analogy to Jason's vessel. In "Chronic Argonauts", he describes it as "sailing the sea of time", so the submarine shape evokes travel in a similar way than the sleigh shape of Pal's Machine. |

Posted At 18:59:40 03/17/2002 I understand the argo term but remember trains, buckboards, horses, walking, & ships, were the most common forms of travel(planes and cars) were not common. I could not see calling a time traver a chronicwagoneer or chronictrainrider, a ship would be the most likely thing to come up with, a hundred years ago. Now as for the look (I've seen the new machine in person and Don's full size machine here in Sacramento) they are both beautiful machines, but Wells' never described what the machine looked like. I don't think it looked like a luner lander, but thats' my opinion, a time machine should not like like anything else we are familar with because it's a new device that no one has ever seen before. |

Posted At 19:33:10 03/17/2002 I am refering to what Wells wrote. Much of it is allegorical. The form of the Machine in both the Pal movie and Nicholas Meyer's "Time After Time" is symbolic of its function. The DW Machine, as many have observed, features many elements that likens it to modern technology and NASA space vehicles (nuclear reactor, landing pads, solar panels, etc.), making it somewhat anachronistic in appearance. |
