This morning I blew hot air about how I had changed my mind about my fave
UFO ep, but when I went to vote, I just couldn't go turncoat on Tigerfly or
Yuchtar. I had to go with Timelash. Anyway, that's the one most requested by
my family as well. :-)

Yeah, well that's great for you ladies, but for me, 'fraid not. If they had
modified that cliche ending some "It's ok folks just a dream" they MIGHT
have salvaged that one to where I could swallow it. But then you wouldn't
have had your chest hair ending. That one falls at #25 or 26 on my fave
list. Sorry Yuchtar. And no, "Close Up" isn't one of my faves just 'cause of
Gay's legs. (Ken blushing and nose growing) Got in trouble with the Mrs on
account of that one!

As Yuchtar, if I ignore the bit about it only being a dream, which I suspect
was an afterthought when the scriptwriter found as he got near the end of
the story that he had no good way to get everything back to normal afterwards
without making inconsistencies, e.g. SHADO's operations would have been
affected badly by losing all the other men who the aliens shot (or whatever)
in the gym when they abducted Foster, or explaining how the aliens knew about
the gym or managed to raid it in force so easily. In my UFO text story "How it
Ended" (see http://www.buckrogers.demon.co.uk/ufo/ufo.htm ) I treat the
"Ordeal" abduction of Foster as reality.

Cool, I will definitely have to read this. I felt the same way about the
writer's thing. Probably had a deadline to finish it by too which has a way
of affecting story lines! Can't wait to see how this "alternate" version!
I've been trying to come up with a good story line to build something on
worth reading, but I guess I'm not as creative as I'd like to be. I had an
idea about the aleins building a base on Mars and Straker and co. struggling
to figure out a way to get out there to find out the purpose of it, fighting
Henderson for funds, trying to catch a saucer so they can get there
unoticed, etc but got stuck filling in the holes and coming up with a
plausible ending.

According to the actual script, the entire episode was supposed to be played more
and more bizarre as the events progressed - obviously the writer wanted it to be a
dream from the beginning. The director and actors played it more realistically,
negating the prefiguring of 'oddness' intended by the writer.
In MY version, in 'Paths of Fear'
(http://shado.simplenet.com/library/stacks/works/paths1.htm)
the events in Ordeal are Paul Foster's nightmare. - Of course, there is always the
possibility that the nightmare itself was an alien attempt to disturb Foster's
psyche.

Oh wow, another one! Thanks to you too! And thanks for the insight into the
original script intention. If it had come out the way it was supposed to, it
might have been really interesting.
While we're at it, I've enjoyed your contributions to the library, thanks!
Wish I could come up with something as interesting. I better quit, I'm
talking too much.

But was the ending so cliche'd when that was made??
It was actually quite a surprise to me the first time I watched it.

Uh-huh <arms folded and toe tapping>

Re Vladek & Lesley:
<<
According to Moira he smiled said "Is Lesley Scottish too?" Moira said
yes
so he replied "Ah well, she must recognise my Scottish blood then.
Please
give her my warmest regards".

I though that was sooooooo luffly!! :o)
>>

<gawk>

That is SO COOL!

8-)

Lieve - re kid's names:
<<
<gasp> In the States kids get renamed to their stepfather's last name if
the mother remarries? Now that sounds terribly weird... What if a woman
marries half a dozen times? Those kids of Hollywood actors must get
terribly confused, getting a new name every year or so... not to talk of
the administrative difficulties of keeping track of kid's names.
And what if a kid stays with the father rather than with the mother?
>>

No, I don't think it is like that here - the step dad has to actually
legally adopt the kid for his name to be changed.

Oh, you're kidding! How silly. There's nothing wrong with admiring

Sorry, actually I was kidding, I didn't want Yuchtar to think I was slammin'
her just on the account of her liking Paul's scene in "Ordeal", that was my
way of trying to be funny and yet let my opinion about "Ordeal" known. The
Mrs did tease me some for that but that was all.

Oh, that's o.k. <Suzanne wipes her brow in relief> A bit of teasing
never did anybody any harm.;-)
