I think that this statement is right on the money. The Metamorph is one of
the only year 2 episodes that I can watch without cringing. This episode
showed enormous promise, but I believe that the hurried pace in which the
second season was produced took its toll on script quality as well as
overall production quality. So we can't simply blame Freddie. We must
consider the fact that ITC waited until the last minute to order a second
year - and then they wanted virtually the whole show reinvented. A daunting
order indeed - even for the best of producers.

Welcome aboard Online Alpha, Alison! Glad you could find us. I too

It can vary, but in general, up to a couple of hours. Messages posted to
the list are resent to list subscribers in small batches rather than in
bulk. This is to reduce server load. This, along normal variations in
Internet activity, can result in replies being received before the original
post.

Thought this would be of particular interest to the list, it just came out on
the "wire":
.c The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Now she's the first lady and a Grammy winner.
Hillary Rodham Clinton's book on child rearing, ``It Takes a
Village,'' took the award for best spoken word or nonmusical album.
The book spent 20 weeks on best-seller lists last year.
The award was announced during the pre-telecast program
Wednesday evening at Madison Square Garden.
``I'm amazed,'' said Mrs. Clinton, who appeared in person to
accept the award.
She was returning to Washington immediately after the
announcement of the winner in her category for a White House state
dinner in honor of Chilean President Eduardo Frei.
Mrs. Clinton's recording was nominated along with Garrison
Keillor's ``The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' and ``Charles
Kuralt's America'' by Charles Kuralt.
Also nominated were two collaborative efforts, ``Grow Old Along
With Me, The Best Is Yet to Be,'' by Edward Asner, Ellen Burstyn,
CCH Pounder and Alfre Woodard; and ``Harry S. Truman: A Journey to
Independence,'' by Lauren Bacall, Martin Landau, Jack Lemmon and
Gregory Peck.

Hi Jonathan/Anyone Else Curious:
This is so simple I can answer. When you installed your program it
overwrote the program associated with these types of files.
You change the file extension associations back to the program you
would prefer to use by clicking on "My Computer" or whatever you've
renamed it to since that is SUCH a stupid name for it (when I was on
the ThinkPad I called it ThinkPad -- pretty ingenious, huh?).
In "My Computer" click on VIEW, then OPTIONS, then click the FILE
TYPES tab.
Scroll down until you see JPG and GIF (which will now have the
Quicktime icons). Click the icons for them (you have to do the
entire process for each file type individually, so once for both JPG
and GIF).
Click the EDIT button.
In the window under "Actions:" you will see OPEN. Click on OPEN once
to select it.
Click the EDIT button.
Under "Application used to perform action" type the full path to the
program you want to use instead of Quicktime, then click OK, then
click CLOSE, CLOSE.
This is one of those things I always forget by the time I need it
again, but I just needed it the other day, so you're in luck. (Am I
crazy or is "needed" not a word? It doesn't sound right.)
I also have never had a program that insistently overwrote these
settings to its own preference, so I'm surprised it did this to you.
Robert

Hello All:
I still need confirmations from some people, but I believe we have
just met our goal of paying for a year of list service.
I believe Marcy will be posting the names of the contributors at the
Cyber Museum once all the checks are received.
Thanks to all who contributed! Anyone who still wants to contribute
can, but I want you all to know that the list is covered for a year
provided people follow through with their checks, and anything
received past that will go toward covering the following year.
If you missed out on contributing this year, there's always next
year.
Also, I always wanted to know how many people were on the list when
Nick ran it but I never had an actual number. I counted the roster
today and we are exactly 245 people. I was also surprised to see
that some people I thought were long gone are still here but in lurk
mode. Glad to know you're out there old friends.

Subject: Space1999: In Memoriam: Thom Keyes
After hearing from Johnny Byrne about the death of his friend, Thom
Keyes, writer of Space: 1999's Series 2 episode "The Taybor," I have
made a couple of additions to the Cybrary.
New in the Space: 1999 room in the Cybary is a list of all Space:
1999 writers and directors with their episodes following each name.
This is a really interesting way to look at the data, because you
can see not only who did what, but, in some cases, how someone
responsible for your favorite episode might also be responsible for
your least favorite.
If you click on "Thom Keyes" in either the Series 2 Episodes page or
the Space: 1999 Writers page, you will get to the Thom Keyes memorial
page. Here you will find a rather touching, sometimes humorous
portrait of Thom Keyes written by Johnny Byrne following Mr. Keyes'
death in 1995. You will also learn a little about how Johnny named
certain characters after his friends.
Something else that may interest you from Johnny's e-mail to me (for
the newbies, Y1 is year 1 and Y2 is year two), Johnny Byrne writes:
"A collectible note: At the end of Y1 Martin and Barbara issued a
diary to all members of the unit. It was inscribed with the title of
the show and stamped with M&B's names. At the end of Y2, we all
received a small electronic clock similarly inscribed. Both were
always thoughtful and generous to the members of the unit."

Are you going to make Eagle and Viper models using
stereolithography? Knowing how much S1999 models cost nowadays
stereolithography, as expensive as it still is, may be a
reasonable option. It calls for quite much above average
modelmaking skills, but a good idea anyway. Good luck.

Y'know, it's gotten even more galling that every e-mail has the
unsubscribe instructions on it and we still get about the same number of
incorrect and useless unsubscribe requests. I guess some people just
can't be bothered....
A SUGGESTION: Since many people are having trouble seeing the
original poster of a message with the new setup, I would like to suggest
to people that they make a point to include their e-mail address in their
sig file. This will make it easier than trying to sort through a jumbled
header or other arcane means, should someone wish to reply only to the
individual.

TO HORST -
I've talked to a friend of mine (the one who got the
episodes for me in the first place) who says that the
series came out in 1978 and had twelve episodes. I had two
tapes with a total of five episodes.
His ship made a port visit to Australia (he's in the Navy
like me) and he found them at a Science Fiction Convention
in Perth. Unfortunately, I can't get to Australia any
time soon.
TO EVERYONE -
Are there any Australian 1999 fans that could
keep their eyes open at cons? If you find them, I will
gladly reimburse you.
Here are the ones I am looking for:
(1) The Commands Of Ikon - This is the one where the alien
pretends to be Koening to get Alpha into a war.
(2) The Long Road Home - I don't remember what this one is
about. Probably something to do with them getting back to
Earth.
(3) Redemption - This has something to do with the devil,
that's all I remember.
(4) The Space Crusaders - This is a stupid one, but I
still want it.
(5) A Moment In The Life - Something to do with some alien
kidnapping Dr. Russell.
(6) The Other Moonbase - It's like a flashback or
something? I think Carter and Koenig get sucked into
a black hole.
(7) Lullabye - Don't remember.
(8) The Deadly Contest - Something to do with the Alphans
fighting in a arena or something.
(9) Imago - This was one of my favorites, if you can't
find any others, I would settle for this one. It's the
one where they kill the giant caterpillar alien and it
turns out to be a woman.
(11) The Comet-Brain - The one where the World War II pilot
is part of the spaceship and tries to collide with Alpha.
There is also a Moonbase Alpha Technical Notebook with
information on the animated series. My brother has it
and is sending it to me. Hopefully it might have
information on where you can order the episodes.
It was written by David Hirsch and was published by StarLog
magazine in 1978.
Thanks in advance to anyone with info, I have been pulling
my hair out trying to track this crap down.
One more thing - my friend says he saw 1999 comics in
Perth. Does anyone know anything about them as well?
