Hi, Robin, While I agree about the motives that most people have for having pets, it's certainly possible that Venus developed a need for family after meeting...
... Sure - quite often people have several aspirations that lead in different directions, so they have to pick one to pursue in earnest and "dabble" in the...
Hi folks, Sorry I've not responded earlier, my messages from the group were not getting through. I think it's important with this Venus/Zoonie topic to keep in...
Robin, Thanks for that take on Zoonie and for his home planet. We never picked that up in the series. I agree with you that Zoonie is not a substitute for...
Hi Cheryl, Welcome aboard. We did discuss Last of the Zanadus a while back. We are working through in the order they appear on the DVDs. We try to put the...
Hi All, I'm Cheryl and just joined this group. Haven't seen any postings on, "The Last of the Zanadus." This is one of my favorite episodes because it is so...
Hi Robin, I agree that "The Last of the Zanadus" is quite scary. Interesting point about Kudo's suicide, had he succeeded in his "mission." (After watching...
Hi Cheryl, Yes, that episode probably gave me a few nightmares as a child. It is so good to find that Pauline and I still love the show as adults - and also...
Hi Cheryl, Colevia is mentioned as Zoonie's home planet in the series. It may be in 'Space Magnet' or 'Sun Temple'. It's said that all animals on colevia are...
Hi Robin, "1875" is a really cute episode! Imagine, Venus the bank robber and Steve the sheriff. That puts them in antagonistic roles, rather than their...
Again, thanks Robin for the Colevia information. We've seen both of those episodes and just missed the reference. Yes, all of the characters lend so much to...

Hi Mrs Gooner, Yes the strange identity changes would seem to have been merely to play cowboys. I sure this episode inspired all those 'Holodeck' adventures in...
Hi Mrs. Gooner, Thanks for the nice welcome! Unfortunately, I have to edit some dull technical paper today, so I can't reply to the rest of your message (or...
Hi Cheryl, Yup, I'm in the U.K. Wales to be precise, though I came here from England. Larry is your side of the Pond. We've talked quite a bit here about...
Hi to all! I'm afraid I still must disagree with you, Robin. For one thing, (some) men most definately do "hear the clock ticking" as some women do. I am the...
Hi Larry, As we often find with discussing Fireball XL5 we enter into very 'adult' territory where the show is a kind of 'mirror' through which we observe real...
Everytime I watch '1875' I wish I could also watch the Four Feather Falls' Gerry Anderson series which came before Supercar. I imagine the sets and other...
Hi Robin! They were the patents men at the end of "1875." Now another theory is that because they really had a limited budget they used the same marionettes....
Nice points, Robin. Very wonderful, indeed. My partner and I have 7 pets and a fish tank, which came as a freebie from his sister and brother-in-law. We're...
There really are quite a lot of similarities between Fireball and Star Trek. I was thinking about the Enterprise and Fireball crews and how similar the...
Hi Cheryl, Thanks for your thoughts on the episode. It's great to share 'insights' and observations. We started doing this 'episode of the week' as way of...
Hi Robin, I wasn't trying to imply that "1875" is poorly written, just what you said -- that time travel is a complete unknown. Heck, we time travel every day...
Hi Cheryl, Nope, I didn't think you were 'knocking' the episode, plainly you enjoyed it as much as I did. Since Fireball XL5 stories are told in less than half...
"Our present is the past's future." I LOVE that concept -- never thought about time in that way before. I love "War of the Worlds," "The Day the Earth Stood...
Yes...Cowboys & Moon Indians is likely from Four Feather Falls. I don't know if it's the same clip we see in Forbidden Planet. Indians being the 'good...
Hi Cheryl, I love all those classic 50's SF films. I think Forbidden Planet is my favourite. Technology. You may like to take a look at my Science of XL5 page...
Hi Cheryl, The 'Grandfather Parodox' is the idea that you travel back in time and kill him (your own Grandfather) before he meets your Grandmother. So your...
