I guess I should have made myself more clear when I referred to the aliens
as exercising terrorism. Sorry about that. SHADO knows what they are up to
and for them and their operations, the aliens ARE a form of terrorism. But,
as someone kindly pointed out, the aliens are not like the al-Quayda (sp?) -
creating havoc for political or other reasons. The aliens are not
necessarily acting as terrorists as we know it here - what they do instills
terror in their victims.

Neil is probably right that cameos of Ed B. etc might not be understood by a
mostly new American audience, but shouldn't there be something in a movie
purely for the loyal fans who've stood by the show for 32 yrs? Don't we rate
something special? I have to agree with those who comment regularly that
unless a movie has the all important elements that made UFO a winner way
back, it won't really BE UFO.

I watched a couple interviews with Stan Lee last night - he of Spidey,
X-Men- the Hulk creation - and he made some salient points about the films
which have been done and will be done featuring his characters. He requested
some ground rules because of the backstories which drive the characters, and
the film producers agreed those things were necessary to retain. I hope GA
will insist on some ground rules as well.
