My name is Kelly and I am very new to this list. I have been a 1999 fan
since the show debuted and I was pleased to find this list and to know
there are more people who love the show as much as I do. I am hoping
one of you can help me. I am looking for laserdiscs of the show and I
have not had much luck. I noticed some of you have them and I have been
wondering where you bought them. If anyone can help me I would be very
grateful. Thank you. Kelly at ddunday@powerweb.net

Nope. Never was. I enjoy this whole List Waaaaaay too much to piss in my
own pot. I love 1999 and UFO, too. And, as many, many many of you
1999'ers can attest, I have tried at a reasonable price to spread the
series around, in order to keep this List going.
If only you could take the list of people I have sent tapes to, and
compared it to the List traffic, you would see what I mean.
I love this place, would never do anything to hurt it.
GROG may not know me, but there are lots of people who do. I am sure that
none of them would accuse me of sending people "over the edge".
Enough said. Let's get busy!

Yes! A great fanzin story! Well is the story took place during season one
the Maya problem is solved and Alan Carter...well couldn't he have a long

OR
Alternate Universe story. In some sort of spatial dimensional
technodoubletalk accident the Altair meets up with the runaway moon. In the
Altares universe the moon stayed in orbit. In the 1999 universe the Alair
never existed so when they meet up its in the spirit of a Sliders episode
(Spirit...not an actual Sliders plot(Shudder!)) or the Star Trek TOS Mirror
Mirror story.
On a similiar note has there ever been a UFO/Space 1999 crossover story.
Could SHADO have been so secret (Ignoring the UFO season two ideas and the
pre-production Space 1999 ideas) that even Alpha didn't know about them?
If SHADO completed its mission before Alpha came online would the Moonbase
from UFO have been abandoned? And what would the alphans make of finding
the old base and its fleet of interceptors.
Just an idea

I think this is my cue here. If I remember correctly, Gerry Anderson had
a short-lived column in Starlog lo, those many years ago, and someone asked
such a question. I remember him saying that after about ten years or so,
the aliens just stopped coming, so SHADO was eventually absorbed into the
international organization that became Moonbase Alpha.
Incidentally, whenever I can figure out how Flight Sim Toolkit works,
I'd like to create a flight sim combining Luca Oleastri's Sky 1 Flight Sim
and Mark Meskin's Eagle Sim. My ambitious project would have SHADO
Interceptors flying from Moonbase against invading UFO's, with a possible
Moonbase Alpha under construction in a distant crater! I think a Moonbase
Alpha flyover in a SHADO Interceptor would be so cool!

Subject: Re: Space1999: News Flash ! Model kit's to br re-released
Just thought folks would be interested... Just picked up a newly released BG
Cylon Raider and a BG Colonial Viper for about $12.00 ea. I tag this to this
letter because a few months ago there was a rumor that these models as well
as an S19 Eagle and Hawk were scheduled to be released this year. Well this
part of the rumor has panned out, so it gives me hope that the part
concerning S19 models may well come to pass, I hope so. BY the way the BG
kits look great and the parts fit together well. The Viper fit together with
very little cutting and sanding (Yes I have already finished it... hey it's
my saterday!) and it looks like the Raider will fit together as easily as
well. Both are detailed well and come with more decals than I remember,
however I wish that they had made the cockpit clear this time instead of
opaque. At least they provided window decals. Well enough of BG stuff, Just
thought I would pass the news along.

I myself have the Galactica and the Cylon basestar on order. I heard
they are using new box art for the re-release of the BSG kits. There is
also a new BSG toy line by Trendmasters. I have the new viper toy and

You know I was thinking, if any toy company were to do a revival of 1999,
I think Galoob's Micromachines should. It would be nice.

Well I just watched the above, and it certainly had me laughing in spots.
The whole experience was quite odd. The theme music reminded me of Blake's
7 music for some reason though it really wasn't that similar. The acting
was rather cheesy in places and the narration was hysterical. Space:
1999ish effects abounded but it just didn't work as well. Several times I
recognized effects that I had seen in 1999 episodes as well as 1999 'beeps'.
Weird seeing Brian Blessed in a straight role! I've only ever seen him in
over-the-top stuff, like Mentor in 1999 and King Richard in Black Adder.
The whole setup was a bit on the impractical side. A couple and their son
along with single Dad and his daughter. I hope those kids are compatible,
because they don't have much other choice for partners. Too bad the boy
seems like a prat and the girl is a tad (well ok a lot) on the wimpy side.
And there's Nick Tate's poor character, the single dad. Not much hope for
him since the only females around are his daughter and a married woman.
You'd think a group of people who could be marooned who-knows-where for
deity-knows-how-long would've been sent out with a larger gene pool.

For the people on the list you love Season 2, I am all for you. I think
we can
use this forum to discuss the things we like and dislike about both
seasons,
even joking a bit about everything in the mean time, while still getting
along
and being friends. And I hope I have made this abundantly clear now and
in
the past, and that James is the only exception.
>What makes you think I was referring to you Tony? I clearly did not say
that

"Many

James, you did name my specifically, as did you name Ggreg specifically,
by starting out the paragraph from where the aforementioned originated
from, addressing us both and others.
(the following taken from your original post)
>>>Tony, Ggreg, and the rest.
This is not a big deal, but don't ever claim anything you can't
substantiate.
No one knows what I feel about anything unless the ask, and I tell them.
But in any case, why are you so defensive, and forgetting facts like the
whole point of your post was commenting on one of my posts that you had
taken excerpts from, then addressing myself, "Ggreg, and the rest" in the
first sentence of that post. James, please be reasonable. How could I not
think you were talking about me?
If anyone should be upset here, it is me. You took what I thought was a
positive post, where I was telling everyone never to unsubscribe for
reasons
of what they read, and to not be afraid to post their believes, and you
used
it to attack myself, Ggreg, and the rest of us you love Season 1. This is
wrong, and I am not NOT going to get into a flame type arguments with
you on list. If you feel the need to proceed aggressively, then please
email
me in person, not on the list.
Who are the people you are CC'ing these messages to? Are you trying to
impress people with your argumentive behavior, and style? I see no
reason to include anyone who does not have to be included in this
problem.
In Fact, I almost didn't comment on this at all. The vast majority of
your post
is ranting and railing against me and others for reasons you are
installing
yourself, and I can not be held accountable for those. This is not my
issue
hence, perhaps someone else "is blowing off steam" here.
Everyone have a great weekend,
Even you James :)

Mike and all,
Where can one order these models? Who markets them? Are your ordering
models that are not BSG ?? (I'm confused!) What are the BSG toys by
Trendmasters and how can one order / get those? I agree about Galoob. I have
several of the Star Wars ships and they did a good job for being toys.

Subject: Space1999: Significance in Space
Hello Everyone,
Of all the adventures the alphans had encountered, certain of these
adventures were of such epic proportion, that the adventure would
seem to give meaning the Alphans' plight in space, and even the
accidental explosion that sent the moon on an seemingly arbitrary
course through space.
Of such adventures, Collision Course comes to mind. Arra explains
to John Koenig that it has been the Alphans' destiny, since the
beginning of time, that their to worlds meet and transform. Another
similar episode is Testament of Arcadia, where Anna Davis and Luke
Ferro bring life back to the dead planet of Arcadia. The story grows in
epic proportion, in that Arcadia is what had originally brought life to
Earth.
Then there are adventures that seem to counter the possibility of the
significance to the Moon's direction and travel. In Space Brain, a brain
that helped multitudes of worlds to exits lay directly in the path of
the moon. Consequently said brain was unavoidably eradicated.
Also in Seance Spectre, a developing world concealed in a weather
belt lay helplessly in the path of Earth's divorced moon.
Are their other episodes that give meaning to, or against either side
of this dilemma? Or do all the episodes fit together in a congruent
fashion, to form an even more important meaning? What if any, was
the Significance to the Alphans being in space?
Take Care All
Tony

Thank you. I just put a letter in the mail to MPC / ERTL for any
informatiion they have on whether they plan to re-issue the Space: 1999
model kits. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the operator at their
800-number didn't have any information for me.

You are correct. It was called "Gerry Anderson's Space Report" and the
format varied from month to month. Some months Gerry reported on his
ongoing projects, other months information was provided about previous
series, while other months the format was question and answer. In one of
the columns a "split blueprint" for the Mark IX Hawk was presented. The
text which accompanied the blueprint stated that the Hawk was built as a
follow-on to the SHADO interceptors. Then the UFO attacks mysteriously
stopped coming so the Hawks were broken up and their parts used in other
spacecraft. Marcy's 1999 homepage has the title of the Starlog article.

Subject: Re: Space1999: News Flash ! Model kit's to br re-released
The Battlestar Galactica toy line by Trendmasters consists of A Cylon
Raider, Colonial Viper, Starbuck Figure, Imperious Leader, Chrome cylon
and a gold cylon. Not sure if you can order these direct, but they are
already in toy stores like Toys R Us, at least in Ca. I could digitize
images of these toys to if you or anyone is interested to see them. I
was planning on doing a toy review on the at my site sometime.
The re-release of the Battlestar Galactica models consists of te raider
viper basestar and the Galactica. I have on order the Basestar and the
Galactica. I have yet to see them. a co-worker of mine claims to have
seen them on the shelves at a model store.
You kknow it may be of some serious interest to open communications to
Galoob for a possible Space:1999 toyline for micromachines. We should
take up a petition of all interested parties to boost interest and let
Galoob know there is a potential market. I would be happy to start the
petition and try to contact the right people at Galoob. I have a remote
connection into Galoob because they have a finishing shop in South San
Francisco. I'm going to be asking some questions soon to some key people
in my circle. Let me know what you all think of this idea.

Subject: Space1999: PAL to NTSC (OT)
I had a long conversation with a friend of mine who just happens to be an
electronics engineer. The subject came up about the UK's PAL format and if
there were any video units out on the market today that could play both PAL
and NTSC formatted tapes. He told me no but the demand for such a unit is
increasing every day and he says that it's VERY possible that a unit will be
manufactured sometime in the next 2 or 3 years. The starting price is the
problem he forsees. In order to play two different formats, (not at the same
time mind you), you would basicly have two "VCR's" in one. Kind of like the
current dual cassette VCR's out on the market now by "Go Video". The price
would be close to that which is currently running between $700 - $800. You
would be able to play any format because actually you would have two VCR's,
One PAL compatable and one NTSC compatable and you could record from one to
the other just as you would with 2 NTSC VCR's.
I just thought that maybe ya'll would be interested in this information. I'll
keep my ears out for further development and I'll let you know.
Thanks for taking the time to read this "Off Topic" subject,
Rodney (HOTROD4000@aol.com)

Subject: Space1999: member postings
Dear fellow Alphans,
I've done some thinking this weekend, and have had
a change of heart towards this line. I think the people on this line are
bright, articulate, interesting and caring. So with that though in mind, I will
start posting again!!! I LOVE Space:1999 and no one can take that away
from me, if you don't like my posts, please simply click delete, don't even
open them. I will not stop sharing thoughts, ideas and dreams of
Space:1999, I think that's what this list is about, and the wonderful
people that make it worthwhile. Lets all just have a good and fun time
with each other!!!
IN Caring,
Gary Girouard
