Oh Jim, make me one, too;-)

You know, it is a rather interesting thought that the episode which
relates how SHADO (not this mailing list) got up and running was one of
the more schmaltzier episodes. Hmmm, is that one of the reasons UFO
appeals to me? The people making the show were obviously not afraid to
turn this episode into a soap opera. After watching the likes of Mr
Spock and Dr McCoy (and don't get me wrong, I kneel at their feet, bless
their cotton socks), all 26 episodes of UFO were a total shock to my
system. I loved it. Surely watching UFO released some sort of chemical
in my brain to produce seratonin or something?
