Hi all,

Well, 2 weeks have passed for our UFO episode discussions on "KILL STRAKER!",

SUB-SMASH

If anyone would like to comment on this episode, please do! And if
you need to rewatch the episode before commenting, you've got 2 weeks

Sub-Smash is one of my all time fav UFO eps. The story has a ton of human
interest in the character interactions - that look Foster gives Straker when
he is forced to leave the stricken sub is fabulous! I also liked the fact
Straker and Nina are honest with each other, and we of course learn about
Straker's claustrophobia. It's an all around great eps with good S/F and
model work, plus great character development.

On an aside, one of the things I always liked about UFO, period, was like
TOS, many eps focussed on character development. In many cases, SHADO itself
and the alien threat were the backdrop against which we viewed these people
struggling with what the secret war has done to their lives. The show has
many such thoughtful eps.

The big disappointment in SUB SMASH was that we didn't
get to see Nina swim out underwater...

Pam made me realise that althoough I am an avid fan of the hardware in UFO (and other Anderson series), the episodes I like best in UFO are the character development ones - Question of Priorities, Confetti Check, Court Martial, Sub Smash etc.

Perhaps I can add that I really liked that tilted set. You felt as though
you were THERE!
