I rewatched them a few years ago and yeah, you kind of forget it was made in the 60s and then bam, it suddenly reminds you in the worst way. And I often felt it dragged at the beginning. The shorter running time of TAG feels much better to me.
Same! There’s a whole episode about bad woman drivers at one point. Bah! Plus, the treatment of the Kyranos gets really off when you flick through the backstory and realise that Tin-Tin was supposed to have degrees in maths and engineering but rarely got to use them, and her father was meant to be an expert in creating synthetic food or something but never got to do anything other than say “Yes Mr Tracy” all the time!
