Karen,
My favorite UFO character is Straker but with Foster running a close second. Straker was the ideal idea man for the beginning of SHADO. If the show had lasted like B5 I think Foster would have made a great second in command or even Commander of SHADO if Straker retired. When I saw the show from first to last episode I disliked Straker for about two months when I saw A Matter of Priorities. It wasn't until we had discussed it in the forum and I watched the episode carefuly that I realised just how much Straker loved his son. Dr. Jackson also intrigued me. I saw him in an old New Avengers as a villain who had control over birds. He could have gone either way. In the early episodes he was an intelligent opponent to Foster. Then in later episodes he was a human think tank. Col. Lake would have been my favorite if she had not been crammed in at the last minute. Most of her characterisation was in the episode The Man Who Came Back. How did you like Col. Lake?

type things the wrong way. I have a friend in AZ that shipped me
about 50 DVDs of Dr. WHo. I am going to send him UFO. I know I can
trust him because we have sent so much stuff back and forth. Maybe I
can get him to get on these boards with the rest of us. Who is your
favorite character on UFO and why?

I have some friends from another chat forum (not UFO) and it's always
heartwarming to find out how generous people can be. I've been mailed
quite a bit of stuff by fans who are willing to share. Normally I buy
stuff if it's available but when you're looking for something that's
decades out of date, it's hard to come by. People in my chat group
will spot a video in a clearance bin and buy with the sole purpose of
mailing it off to any other needy fan in the group. I usually try to
send something in return as a token of my appreciation although I'm
never asked to.
It's good to see the same between you and your friend. I used to
watch Dr. Who as a kid but it was never broadcast in my locales when
I got to be older. I'm sure it's on the Space channel but we don't
get that anymore.
I'd have to say that Straker is my favorite character of the lot. I
think that Ed Bishop did a good job with him but then again I believe
he had the most air time. He had a very commanding presence so it's
hard not to be drawn to him.
I find the most intriguing character of UFO to be Dr. Jackson. I
would really have liked UFO to continue on in production just to see
his character development. It could be that he would have ended up
being my favorite but he just wasn't given the chance. When you
consider how much air time Jackson had it's amazing how he sticks in
your mind. Good guy or bad guy, who knows?
So who's your favorite?
