... still thinking of ideas for a UFO movie, although really these ideas
are just elements from the original series that I think should be
retained/emphasized for a movie...

It is 20 or so years in the future, and SHADO has been up and running
for a few years. There is some tragic event that causes Straker to
wonder whether or not it has all been worth it, given all of the
sacrifices that have happened in his life and within the organization
(queue the flashbacks!) since the creation of SHADO, and given that the
Alien threat has so far never seemed serious enough to warrant the
billions of dollars spent to create SHADO. Threats of budget cuts or
termination of SHADO seem a possibility, with Henderson thinking that
way too much money is being spent on this, while Straker thinks the
attacks are getting worse, and will continue to get worse. Then a major
UFO incident takes place that SHADO is able to thwart due to its unique
capabilities, which ends up saving a lot of lives (thousands to
millions). Straker and Henderson feel that all of the sacrifice and
money has been worthwhile after all, and SHADO continues on, ready for
the next sequel or spinoff TV series.... :-)

(and the aliens should continue to remain rather mysterious, and their
motives are open to speculation...)
