*Another interesting phaser problem...how exactly does the phaser know
_what_ to disintegrate?

Same way the transporter knows what to transport.

Or when the Stargate knows to close vs. remain open.

Or the doors on the Enterprise open when you're walking towards them, but
remain closed if you fall against them in a drunken stupor.

After the most power force in the universe (compound interest) comes "will
of the writer."



It gets the target person...and their clothes
and equipment; but leaves the ground they were standing on intact!
Wouldn't one expect something more along the lines of "The Terminator's"
time-travel field- where everything inside a 7 foot diameter sphere goes
away, leaving a pit in the surface where the as-yet-unsuspected
murderous Human/Romulan offspring of Tasha Yar- Kela (Sela's twin
sister....this one the "Evil Twin" even by cold-green-blooded Romulan
standards), once stood?

Automatic doors do that on Earth too! Uncanny.

...And remember, Tic-Tock's computers contain a whopping 40MB of
storage. Can you say "file compression"?

Yep... and they built up a complex that rivals the Vaults of the Krell,
and it cost the astronomical sum of 160 million (with an M) dollars.

No problem- you just jump into The Time Tunnel, and whizz yourself back

Would anybody remember a show called "UFO" that aired in the late 60's
or so? This futuristic story of Earth society included the regular
dispatches of fleets of interceptors to destroy invanding spinning flying
saucers (all identical) that seemed to visit Earth with astonishing
regularity back in those days. I think the authorities responsible for the
task of defending Earth from the aliens inside could be compared to an
organization like "International Rescue" from the infamous Thunderbirds
series. The plot did allow a few of these "UFO's" to land and avoid
detection long enough to attempt abductions and such, thus providing plot
fodder for the short life of the series.
One other detail worthy of note is that these aliens breathed oxygen
from a liquid, so their space-suits were filled to the brim with an
oxygenated fluid that resembled furnace oil to keep them alive. I remember
one episode where a human was abducted and converted to liquid breathing
just like them, with the remainder of the show depicting the rescue of the
crew member along with all of the gory details of clearing his lungs
sufficently to breath real air again.
Was I the only person who ever saw this show before it was cancelled, or
does anybody else here remember this one?

I never actually saw "U.F.O.", but I've heard a lot about it. It was
the first live-action show produced by Gerry Anderson, whose other
productions all featured "Super Marionation" -- i.e., marionettes, aka
puppets. His other shows included the "Thunderbirds At Go" that you
mentioned, plus other stellar offerings like "Fireball XL-5" and
"Supercar."

I'm a little older, so I remember watching "Fireball XL-5" and
"Supercar" when I was a kid. I never really got into "Thunderbirds At
Go," I guess I was a little too old. And IIRC, "U.F.O." wasn't widely
syndicated in the U.S. At least, it never ran on any of my local
channels when I was growing up, unlike the puppet shows. I was a HUGE
"Supercar" fanatic, and I never missed an episode of "Fireball XL-5."
In fact, I wanted a model of Supercar desperately when I was 11 years
old -- and never got one. Which is why I'm irrationally tickled by the
fact that someone made a Supercar "model" for the latest version of
Microsoft's Flight Simulator. So, now I not only have a model of
Supercar, I can actually fly it!

I was watching Time Tunnel one day in the late 70s. The episode where a
convict escapes from prison and ducks into the time tunnel. The convict was
Robert Duvall. Pretty good episode.

The computers on that show...recycled from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea?
That was a weird show. Ever notice there was almost no crew? I am gonna
guess there was at least one episode where they get attacked by a giant
octopus.
