I completely agree Mark! I think that I stated in another thread once that I
always thought that it was interesting that Straker has to fight battles to
just keep SHADO's funding flowing! You'd think what they did would be
enough.
True, there are logic holes big enough for one of those Shadair transports
to fly through, but this episode was actually my first exposure to the show,
so it has always been something of a flawed favorite of mine. Hey, I even
still have the View-Master!
