Hi CV,

<<The increasing pressure of the alien brainwash
plunges Foster deeper into psychosis.He is
no longer the Col Foster we know and love,but a
psychotic maniac bent on killing Ed Straker, and he is
getting nastier by the minute.Taunting his
leader... "Younger,fitter,stronger...".>>

"But you're forgetting one thing, Foster...
WILL POWER !" (Steely glare)

Foster's locking Straker in the moonbase command
sphere and holding a gun on him seems to be a replay
of the scene in 'Exposed' where Foster first makes an
appearance. Then, Straker locked Foster in a film
studio hangar and held a gun on him. Revenge ?

The moonbase command sphere is punctured by a bullet
hole and depressurises. Straker and Foster both lose
consciousness. When the moonbase staff enter the
sphere, they find Straker and Foster both unconscious,
face down on the floor.

Mike B's comment - 'What a night that was !' <g>.

<<Ultimately Cmdr Straker survives,but now there is
the problem of tieing up the loose ends. No one gets
fired from SHADO and Foster is prepared for the
worst...unless...
Dr Jackson has done all he can,now its up to Paul.In a
nightmare shoot out that brings about his
catharsis,Pauls mind is once and for all cleansed
of alien poison.Mike Billington puts his acting cards
on the table in this scene and does rather well i
thought.He takes a good slapping from Ed.>>

According to what Ed and Mike said, the blows were
real as well - Mike felt it would be less painful to
get slapped than to risk having to re-shoot the scene
!

<<48 minutes of superior entertainment>>

Definitely !

Regards,

Andy
