awesome hardware, attractive actors, strong storyline +...

Stephen Greaney-2
HI ALL,

I remember Space:1999 did a revamp between seasons. They brought in
the producer of Star Trek's final season in an attempt to loosen up
the characters and create a more human element to the show.

I guess the final element of a good show (not forgetting special
effects) is strong characterization. These people have to be
interesting, and we have to love them or hate them, or wonder about
what makes them tick.

I wonder if I'm coming off as a know-it-all, but I've been thinking
about a new UFO series for years, and I just found this list.

Stephen-- Oh, what about a love affair between a female Shado
operative and an alien? And do we take the fight to their planet?
Didn't a Shado probe make it there and back (at sub-light speed), but
the probe's camera lense malfunctioned?

Hello Stephen,

It's not currently legal in the UK to have relationships with other
species, I'm afraid.

Made it there and transmitted the pictures back, but I think
it went at > SOL 1 in the wake of a UFO. The episode in
question is 'Close Up'. The malfunction affected the
information relating to magnification used for each photo.
Don't try to make too much sense of it, it's a bit of a
nonsensical ep (imho of course)

Nonsense. Isn't friendship a relationship? Aren't many people friends with
their dogs, cats, horses...? Now if you were to say one can't have sex with
another species, that may be somewhere in the law. All right, a question of
terminology, but if we're talking about the law, terminology must be
precise....

BTW, isn't there a law in the US that states one can't have contact with an
alien?
Anyway, to get back to the UK (at SOL 1 :-) : depending on the terminology
it could be legal to have whatever contact with an alien. IF it states one
can't do it (whatever this 'it' is :-) with another 'species'. A case can
be made that mankind and the aliens are the same species. Quite a few
sci-fi programmes say we were seeded from another planet, if this cannot be
proven, it cannot be disproved either.
Now if a human were to 'do it' with an alien, and this resulted in a child
being born, it would definitely prove we're the same species. Hence, they
could forget the criminal prosecution.

Anyway, what isn't allowed in real life can easily happen in fiction. I've
matched Straker up with an alien and they ended up having a child. (Don't
ask to read that story, some have, I'm sure, since it was on my site for a
while, but I've since re-written it and there are now no more references to
SHADO or anything too Shadoesque in the story any more)

BTW, over the years I've encountered many people on the Net who claim to
have husbands who are from the Pleiades. Isn't anyone prosecuting them?

Legally you may have to use a term other than alien. I am a resident alien
(according to my green card - and my full name does not fit) - although my
first wife might agree with the making relations illegal.

I wonder if you marry an extraterrestrial alien if they would become a
resident alien. I'm sure someone in Vegas would perform the ceremony. With
out going way to far of topic the legal issues sure could get interesting
(or not).

The problem would be to get the birth certificate or whatever papers one
needs to get a marriage ceremony performed. Or isn't that necessary in Vegas?
BTW - can someone in the UK answer this? - do people still get married in
Gretna Green? Sounds like a better place for an alien to get married....
Would an alien be required to remove his helmet? If yes, the poor guy would
choke!

Hey dudes! You're using those dratted mind probes again - I've got a female
character in my UFO story who ends up carrying an ET child thanks to the
green liquid breathing aliens's fertility technology/experimentation....no

Which story is this? Is it in the SHADO Library? Or when will it be online?

Who is in charge of the UFO 2 project?, so that I don't have to clutter
everybody's mailboxes with a lot of CGI technical stuff about Poser etc.
