Shado-cabinet:
Paramount99 has already replied to me.
Of course all our views are necessarily subjective in the main, but I think it's still possible to be objective and to look at something and see it for what it is. With the utmost respect; the final page or so of panels that p99 posted couldn't honestly be described as an 'original and amazing piece of work'. It was crude and infantile. The problem some 'creatives' have is that they are too close to their product to evaluate it. Did it personally bother me? No. Was it a bad representation of UFO and the fans who appreciate it? I'd say yes. But it certainly would have impressed me when I was 12.
The other thing to touch upon again is the theory I put out that yourself and p99 could have been the same person. Far from being unable to separate fact from fiction, I have direct and personal experience of at least one person pretending to be two people on a forum so that he could talk to themself. No, I won't say who this was or where, but it was common knowledge. I've also experienced someone quoting me and then actually changing what I've said, so that it appears that I take his point of view! So, believe me, there are some odd people out there.
Come on, surely UFO is worth more than a couple of girls who look like hookers scrapping on the floor and calling each other bitches and hormone infested whores. If this captures the feel and spirit of UFO then I must have missed these particular episodes.
Do I come across like Mary Whitehouse or some sad old prude? Maybe. But I was just making a point. Incidentally, whilst we all operate under nom de plumes here, well most if us, we are real people and there is certainly a danger in talking down to someone if you don't actually know who it is you're talking to. Speaking as someone who played the drums for 11 years in various hard rock/metal bands (yes, I did), I can assure you that I've seen and done stuff that I wouldn't even consider talking about on this forum and it's a safe bet that I could tell a few anecdotes that would put most to shame. And yet I resist that temptation and just stick to talking about UFO, or closely related subjects.
All I would say in closing is a good rule would be just ask yourself what Gerry or Sylvia would think of what you are posting about the show they created? Would they be impressed?
