Speaking of which.....
In Timelash, they say something to the effect that Straker's office is the ONLY way into SHADO HQ.
Does that mean that all the people who work down there have to enter and exit through the office? That's gotta drive Miss Ealand nuts.
OK, I realize most of the workers would be on shifts or something and may only come and go under cover of darkness. But still, there's a hell of a lot of folks who would have to go through that office in the course of a normal workday

Well, we know from Court Martial that the office is NOT the only way into or
out of SHADO HQ. ;-)

The Man Who Came Back

SHADO

Just finished watching this episode. SID gets blasted by a UFO, and careens wildly out of position. I have never noticed anything even remotely resembling stabilizing thrusters on SIDs structure. Yet when Craig Collins and Straker arrive in orbit to repair SID, it appears to be in a stable and calm position.

I've also always been mildly amused by Straker's pronunciation of "UFO".
Instead of saying "you-eff-oh", he always says "you-foe".

Jeff (the nitpicker)

All of the cast do that - to me it seems obvious that a conscious
decision was made that UFOs would be referred to by a distinctive,
snappy new name, unique to the UFO universe.

Actually, I just thought that was the Brittish way of saying UFO. If you
listen to some of the interveiws on the History channel like when they were
running the Brighton encounter stuff (think that was the name of the area of
the 1982 UFO incident). But the Brits that were intereveiwed all said it "U
fo" instead of the American uFo.

That's actually based on how USAF pilots pronounce it.

Picture the scene every morning around 7am..... the people start lining
up outside Ms. Ealands door to load up the office/elevator till it's crammed
full, thirty or forty people at a time, to ride it down until all 400 or so
are down there....



BTW, Kevin Lazenby writes;

They post a man out there with a rifle who shoots anyone who looks like
they notice anything.

He could also have described it as an "Uff-O"

Perhaps you're right. The "obvious" always seems to have a way of escaping my notice.

Comes from watching a documentary where USAF pilots talked about
seeing UFO's...mind you, RAF pilots probably pronounce it the same
way; maybe it's a military pilot thing.
