i always wondered about dear Dr. Jackson and his vowel
carressing accent ...... I mean, that was a royal
"huh". one hopes that if the series had continued
someone would have tackled the enigmatic dr. jackson
whom no one liked and gen. henderson seems to have
saddled SHADO with.
i could see him being a political refugee or
something, but then why put him in SHADO? of course,
he was apparently the other workaholic on the base,
'cause he seemed to be there as much as our commander
was ... there was also the rather odd combination of
being apparently head psych and security??? or have i
simply been away from the show too long?
