SFX MAGAZINE, COLLECTORS EDITION

HELLO ALL,

SORRY I HAVE NOT BEEN JOINING IN WITH RECENT DISCUSSIONS, BUT I
HAVE BEEN AWAY.

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED SFX MAGAZINE, COLLECTORS EDITION, PRICED AT
£4.99. IT IS CALLED THE BEST SCI-FI AND FANTASY IN THE WORLD EVER,
COLLECTORS EDITION. THERE IS A FEATURE ON PAGE 5, ABOUT U.F.O

QUOTE

AT HEART UFO WAS A THRILLING CLASH BETWEEN COMIC STRIP SENSIBILITIES AND AN
UNSETTLING ADULT CYNICISM. IT SHONE DINKY TOY
WONDERMENT, OF COURSE, AS EVERY ANDERSON PRODUCTION MUST, BUT THIS WAS A
SERIES THAT DARED TO SHOW THE HUMAN COST OF HEROISM. SHADO COMMANDER STRAKER
LOST HIS WIFE AND THEN HIS SON AND STILL SAVED THE WORLD WITH COLD-EYED
PROFESSIONALISM.
SACRIFICES WERE MADE. PEOPLE WERE EXPLOITED, PEOPLE DIED. THIS
WAS FAR FROM THE CHUCKLING FADE-OUTS OF STAR TREK AND IN MANY
WAYS FORESHADOWED THE INTELLIGENT DARKNESS OF THE X FILES.

AND IT LOOKED IMMACULATE, BLESSED WITH AN ASTONISHING FEATURE
FILM SHEEN, FROM THE GLEAMING, SPINNING SAUCERS OF THE INVADERS TO SHADOS
MISSILE NOSED INTERCEPTORS, DEREK MEDDINGS 'FX REMAIN
A MIRACLE ON A SHOESTRING, EASILY COMPARABLE WITH 2001 A SPACE
ODYSSEY, ONE MORE REASON TO TREASURE THIS NEGLECTED PINNACLE OF BRIT SF -
YES, PURPLE WIGS AND ALL, SFX.

WITH THIS MAGAZINE COMES A SCI-FI TRUMPS CARD GAME - AN ALL NEW SF HEROES
PACK. THERE'S A LOVELY PHOTO OF ED BISHOP, NOT TO
MENTION HAN SOLO, FOX MULDER,JEAN LUC PICARD, WONDER WOMAN ,
DOWN TO BRAINS,THUNDERBIRDS AND EVEN BUZZ LIGHTYEAR (hee, hee)
TO NAME BUT A FEW.

I HOPE NO ONE ELSE HAS COVERED THIS SUBJECT.

ALL BEST WISHES TERESA W, IN ENGLAND

HI AMELIA HOPE YOU ARE O.K P.S ED BISHOP IS STILL ONE OF THE
BEST ACTORS OUT THERE. ALL THE CAST DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. LET'S
NOT FORGET ALL THIS WAS THIRY YEARS AGO. YOU CAN'T COMPARE SHOWS LIKE U.F.O
WITH MODERN PROGRAMS AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY.    

NOWADAYS, IF WE LIKE SOMEONE THAT MUCH , WE'VE GOT MORE OF A
CHANCE OF KEEPING THEM IN THE PUBLIC EYE, THROUGH MAGAZINES,
THE MEDIA, INTERNET ETC. WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH POWER YEARS
AGO. WHAT A WASTE!!!!
