Subject: Space1999: Alpha i.d. card
Quite some time ago, I had quried about a replica Alpha i.d. card that was
available, and if I remember correctly, it was from someone in Canada, for
a modest charge. One needed to a photograph.
I completely misplaced the information.....would someone please be so kind
as to send me that information once again? Thanks!

Subject: Space1999: Lost Mail
For some reason Pegasus Mail deleted all my in and out files and
reset some settings. I think I have a virus -- it's called
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4. Strange things like this have
been happening since installing it -- one problem after another,
frequent lockups, etc.
Anyway, my point is that I lost all my mail. There was a
backlog, and I may not have responded to some people or even
read their messages yet. If I didn't respond to something you
sent, please resend your message.
Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience. At its best IE4 is a
great product (preferable to Netscape Navigator 4 in my
opinion), but Microsoft shouldn't be able to modify the
operating system code for one of its products if a competitor
can't do the same. Be warned that when you install IE4 you are
also replacing some code into Windows 95 that was designed for
Windows 98. This has been a recipe for disaster in my
experience -- one disaster after another.

It was from John Fleming.
What's happened to John Fleming? He seems to have disappeared
off the face of the Earth, doesn't answer e-mails, and, from
what I hear, it's not just me he's ignoring. Anybody have a
clue?

Subject: Space1999: Japanese Space:1999 Laserdisc Review
Several months ago I auctioned off several of my Gerry Anderson laserdiscs.
Some of the Space:1999 laserdiscs were sold to a fellow named Steve Pilant.
In the months since, Steve has continued his quest to get more Gerry
Anderson laserdiscs, and not so long ago he acquired the 4 volumes of
Space:1999 year one episodes from Japan. Since I only own the American
Space:1999 discs, I asked him for a description of the Japanese discs. In
response, he put together a rather detailed review, which I've uploaded
onto to the web as:
http://www.cnw.com/~mmartin/bondai1999.html
After reading this, if any of you would like to contact Steve, you can
e-mail him at spilant@uriel.net. Perhaps someone with a Space:1999 website
would like to add this to their site or something, but you'd need to get
permission from Steve, not me.

In response to djlerda's comments on Missing Link, the best image of the
Zenno City is in the "This Episode" section, full-screen and no "blobby

I loved your description of Victor--it was "perfect". You described him
as a "scientist-philosopher speculating about man's place in a universe
he doesn't fully understand".
Great post!

I like Kate too. I think Cptn. Janeway does fine as Voyager's captain.
I've often wondered what kind of portrayal we would have had if Bujold had
stuck w/ it and had been capt.She's such an actress who evokes a totally
different response.
I even watched Mrs. Columbo, though I didn't in any way picture her as the
real Mrs Columbo. Just the wife of some other lesser cop named Columbo.

I also forgot to mention that in the novelization of "Missing Link" it is
Paul Morrow who gives the order to pull the plug on Koenig. He is also
written as a stronger character and clearly Koenig's second in command.
Just thought I'ld pass that on...... :-)

Subject: Space1999: Missing Link
Very few comments on this one.
I went back to double check this, but Koenig and Carter are not wearing
their seatbelts when the eagle crashes. Gee, if they had been wearing
them, there would be no episode.
I've always liked Kano's spinning console, and this is its first appearance.
It looks natural, but it is wrong to be on the surface of the moon and
talking into your commlock. First, the suits have radios in them. Second,
if the suit radio was not working, you would have to hold the microphone
part of the commlock up against your helmet so it can pick up your voice
carried by the vibrations through the helmet, since there is no atmosphere
to carry the vibrations made by your voice. Anyone who has read any amount
of SF has seen astronauts touch helmets to talk when the radios didn't work
or they needed privacy.
It is interesting to see Koenig's name spelled wrong, on purpose, since it
is spelled right in the real Alpha.
Koenig's trip through the fake Alpha was nicely done in a dream-like state
that I find I don't feel like quibbling with minor details. They can be
excused in a dream-like situation.
Raan says Koenig is right thinking he was brought to the planet in a ship.
Hunh? Neat trick being able to swip him from the eagle and leave a
duplicate, swipe Sandra out of Medical and leave a duplicate, and then
return both without anybody seeing it happen...all using a ship. I have an
easier time believing in matter transference in this case. I know some
will say it was Raan continuing to manipulate Koenig, but that's weak. I
then have to ask why Koenig didn't question it himself. I know this whole
business always bothered me, and from the first time I saw this episode. I,
for some reason, always seemed to think that Koenig and Sandra's spirits
were on the planet, and their physical forms were on Alpha, or that's how I
would always remember it.
If Koenig is vowing in one scene to keep on fighting, even to die if
necessary, then why in the next scene is he in his robe and jammies? "I'll
fight you and die if I have to...but first let me get comfortable." I
don't think so.
The Stockholm syndrome aside, why does Koenig suddenly decide to go for
Vana and leave behind his command? It's third season Captain Kirk stuff,
and Freddie isn't even producing yet! In part it is weak story structure.
I feel they spent too much time on the mechanics of getting the injured
Koenig back to Alpha, so they had no time and you are left with Koenig
defiant one moment, and hot to trot the next, ready to stay where he vowed
he would leave even if he had to die.
It's time for all of you to groan cause I'm going to mention it again.
Whispering. This time Koenig is whispering his lines, and the guest stars
are speaking normally...in the same scenes. There is just no reason for
it. I feel there is a difference between being soft and expressing awe, and
whispering, which can be used for dramatic effect, but only if used sparingly.
By the way, I enjoyed the answers and discussions my comments sparked last
week. The only thing more healthy than people agreeing is people
disagreeing.
