Cmdr. Lake is keeping an eye on her. She is acting normally, then like a

I admit in my own works I will ignore certain things that don't work for the
story I want to tell. We all do. And that doesn't mean we don't know what's
actually in the eps, or that we're too dull to recognize when things doesn't
mesh with the Real World.

But it IS very annoying when a few come in and declare themselves experts
and imply the rest of us aren't bright for not recognizing the ultimate
truth of their inspiration.

There is one simple real determiner for canon - was it on the show? If you
can't point out which episode your 'facts' are from, then you shouldn't
claim that a fact is canon.

We all have versions of Straker's background (and Freeman and Foster, etc.)
that we use in our stories. And that's exactly as it should be. It's the
quality of the story being told that should count.

And there are a few quite popular fandoms where canon is barely an advisory.

Hi Deb - I get the impression that there are certain people who seem to
think that they know ALL the canon connected to UFO and that a writer MUST
maintain their POVs. With only 26 eps there isn't alot of canon. It's been
maybe 2 yrs since I watched all the eps (well, 25 of them - I never watch
TCWTL), and I know Denise and Matt and others have finagled things when
necessary - who hasn't. I know some writers who have given Straker a whole
family of origin or married him off - is that canon either? But I don't
think those stories are any less worthy of merit than any others. Some are
extremely good and should be accepted as such. Besides, we know as fanfic
authors our work isn't canon, any more than all those Star Trek novels were
(Gene R said he didn't consider them canon at all), but why stop the
creativity and fun?

Cheers, Pam

As I recall, you tend to leave his age rather vague anyway.

Unfortunately, it's the people who demand that everyone bow to their
'inspired words of knowledge' that create issues.

What one person needs to make their stories work is rarely what another one
needs. (Personally, I prefer Straker born around 1936-'37. Still very young
for his rank, but not so young that I have to invoke a Presidential magic
wand to get him to a rank we don't actually see him needing. I mean, Ollie
North was a Lt. Col when he was advising Nixon and getting himself mixed up
in things he probably knew better.)

I'm with you - I don't recall Straker's age ever being mentioned
specifically in the 26 eps. If I need to decide his age, I usually go by Ed
Bishop's age and boost it ten yrs to make him born in the 40's not the 30's
- this is because I've done so many post-series time lines that I NEED him
to be in his 60's rather than in his 70's. However, this is just me. Hugs,

For those who are utterly confused by some of the comments over on
'Straker's Age" page at the Herald.

LJ is Livejournal.com, a blogging site that serves writers, political
dissidents, and anyone else who cares to join.

One of their communities (rather like a Yahoo Group only in an online
threaded format rather an email list) is called 'little-details'. This is a
place people can go and post questions on how things work in real life to
add verisimilitude to their stories. Generally, LJ members post under their
own name (it takes all of 15 seconds to join the community if you're an LJ
member). Others can send in a request and a moderator will post it for them.


One of the community rules is that the person posting the question needs to
show they've already done their due diligence in trying to find the answer
themselves but just haven't had any luck. The vast majority of question
posers get usable answers or at least leads to usable facts within a few
hours and they are grateful for the help. But there are always exceptions.

Actually, RTV is an over-the-air channel where I live (but is
also on cable).  Thanks to James, there was time for me to
record these two episodes, and I've already watched the
first.

These *are* the original Saint episodes with Roger Moore.  Rather
surprising to see on American, over-the-air television in this
day and age!  (I had no idea these were on -- too many cable
channels, with no idea what's on most of them!)

Where I am we now have Retro TV off air and in decent quality. DH now has a
new channel to fall asleep watching. LOL.

Missed the Saint, though - have to check Netflix for the DVDs.

We RTV very high up in our channels so its on digital.  I was slightly surprised
when they carried it as it British and that usually puts most American cable
channels right off showing something made "over there".  I did not know it was
on till I had missed about half a season of the 1962 episodes.  Glad you got to
record the ones with Ed and Wanda Marc.  In some of the past ones you have
missed a very young Jean Marsh and Darren Nesbitt in another.

  I liked Roger Moore as the Saint when I was a kid, but knowing Mike Billington was tested 3 times for Bond, and Roger Moore won out, has been a disappointment for me. The Bond films starring Moore were not as good as the Sean Connery versions, and I think Billington would have brought a better quality to Bond than did Moore. Apparently Moore's name carried more cachet with the producers, but Moore's slicked back hair and idiotic facial expressions made him look more like a British Dean Martin camping it up, than a Bond. I understand Ed Bishop once told Mike that he should write a book called "The Bond That Never Was" or something similar in order to explain how different the franchise might have been had Mike been chosen. I think Mike had more of the looks, the brooding qualities and the physical presence of a Bond - certainly moreso than Moore.

Billington would have been great as Bond. Both Billington and Daniel Craig almost share the same rugged look.

Moore's Bond was just a continuation of roles of either Simon Templar and Beau Maverick.

I like Moore and Connery equal, followed closely by Brosnan. I never like Dalton.  One of the movies when they shot Felix Lighters just married wife was too much.  It’s a toss up who I like less, Craig or whats his name from on her majesties secret service.

Some of Moores movies suffered more from script problems then bad acting.  I liked The Spy who loved me for it had Hammer girl, Caroline Munro. :)

I found Connery’s From Russia with love boring.  Can you say you like that better then Live and Let Die?  Ok, I like any movie that takes place in New york, but you cant say it was a bad movie.

My two favorite Bond flicks, "Thunderball" and "The Spy Who Loved Me." Best Bond, Sean Connery, IMHO.

Connery kicked a** in "The Hunt for Red October!"

"Hey, Ryan. Be careful what you shoot at. Some things in here don't react well to bullets."

Hey, ya gotta love movies that star submarines, planes, and aircraft
carriers.

Connery was the best, hands down. And Lazenby might have pulled if off is
they hadn't made him talk to the camera about the 'other guy'. That just
ruined any possible suspension of disbelief.

Oddly enough, I liked Dalton - less funny than Moore - a real dangerous,
almost sociopath, quality about him very reminiscent (to me at least) of the
Fleming novels - somebody you're glad is on your side but you don't really
want to invite home for dinner.

Billington could carry that off and Craig does it well now, but I'm having a
bit of a problem seeing Bond as having sandy hair.

Brosnan had a touch of the dangerous, but he carried the humor off as well.

  disappointment for me. The Bond films starring Moore were not as good as the

  Sean Connery versions, and I think Billington would have brought a better

  quality to Bond than did Moore. Apparently Moore's name carried more cachet

  with the producers, but Moore's slicked back hair and idiotic facial

  expressions made him look more like a British Dean Martin camping it up,

  than a Bond. I understand Ed Bishop once told Mike that he should write a

  book called "The Bond That Never Was" or something similar in order to

  explain how different the franchise might have been had Mike been chosen. I

  think Mike had more of the looks, the brooding qualities and the physical

  presence of a Bond - certainly moreso than Moore.

Hi, All,

If we're talking Bond here, it's this simple:

While his coloring's all wrong for the part, nobody has ever played Ian Fleming's character more closely than Daniel Craig. (Second best was Timothy Dalton. Worst -- not counting the joke versions in the original "Casino Royale" spoof movie of the '60s, or Barry Nelson as American agent "Card Sense Jimmy Bond" in a 1950s episode of "Climax" -- was Roger Moore. Closely grouped above Moore come the unjustly maligned George Lazenby, Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery.)

yes, I totally agree, talking to the camera ruined it, made it comical.

  Hey, ya gotta love movies that star submarines, planes, and aircraft

  Connery was the best, hands down. And Lazenby might have pulled if off is
  they hadn't made him talk to the camera about the 'other guy'. That just
  ruined any possible suspension of disbelief.

  Oddly enough, I liked Dalton - less funny than Moore - a real dangerous,
  almost sociopath, quality about him very reminiscent (to me at least) of the
  Fleming novels - somebody you're glad is on your side but you don't really
  want to invite home for dinner.

  Billington could carry that off and Craig does it well now, but I'm having a
  bit of a problem seeing Bond as having sandy hair.

  Brosnan had a touch of the dangerous, but he carried the humor off as well.

  My two favorite Bond flicks, "Thunderball" and "The Spy Who Loved Me." Best
  Bond, Sean Connery, IMHO.

  Connery kicked a** in "The Hunt for Red October!"

I also think that Lazenby did a good job on OHMSS which had the best script of any Bond film. Let's see how quickly you get this one...

Three Actors portrayed James Bond in 1983...Name the actors and the movies.

Marc (A different one) and I can't stand Pierce's Bond and thought that Dalton should get more credit than he does

Well, Sean Connery in 'Never Say Never' was one. (Personal note: the company
my DH worked for then made the wetsuits for the film and Connery's
measurements were the same as my hubby's. (He got to bring home one of the
unused ones.) <VBG>
