Sound effects add a lot to the way we experience and enjoy our science fiction television and movies. One of my life-altering TV experiences was the classic and later classically bad CBS show "Lost in Space." Cut me a break, please, I was 7 or 8. To me it was everything a TV show should be, space ships, a boy hero my age, monsters, some fairly good special effects... did I mention space ships? I always wondered what continually drew me to watching that show, even when it got dumb and campy, and I finally realized that it was my utter fascination with the Jupiter 2. There was just something about the sound of that ship when it's engines were spooling up that gave me goose bumps, one of the coolest things I've ever heard.......that of incredible energies being unleashed. If you want to hear the best sample of it, log onto Hulu and check out the episode, The Derelict:

After watching the obligatory commercial, fast-forward to the 47 minute, 10-second (47.10) mark, crank up your speakers, and prepare to be thrilled! This particular episode also featured the most detailed 48-inch studio "hero" model of the Jupiter 2, the only one that depicted the landing gear footpads being stowed behind sliding panels in the lower hull. This was one of the most detailed and expensive models ever constructed for any science fiction television show, according to some sources I've read.
So, that's MY favorite sci-fi sound effect. What's yours?
