Hi Robin, Venus orphaned when her parents were killed in a nuclear war? Twisted! And I think Matt's Scottish. Great points, as usual. Go XL5!!! Cheryl. Robin...
Thanks, Robin! Cheryl. Robin Day <ra.day@...> wrote: Hi Kelly, Nice to hear from you again. Anyone interested in nice XL5 logo badges should take a look...
Hi Keryn, Perhaps a bit of a nag, but I see that in the way she pronounces his name "Willlbuurrr!" He does need a push every now and then! Jonathon's a cool...
I suppose, if we are being charitbale, we could call Joanahon 'outspoken' and 'direct' rather than rude and obnoxious. He's no angel, but then again, I don't...
Hi Robin, I think Jonathon is a bit spoiled, yet a great kid! He is an entertaining character and is lucky that the other kids don't pick on him because of...
Hi Robin, Just got my Little Golden Book of Fireball XL5 from Ebay today. It's from 1964, and it really IS in mint condition (and vintage). The illustrations...
Hello Cheryl, That book is cute. The version I have is called 'Fireball XL5 A Big Television Book', but it's the same thing. I think it's a nice conversion of...
Cheers, Robin, I agree one hundred percent! I also found those inconsistsies in my book, but it's all fun! Asked Don to build me an acrylic case for that...
Hi Cheryl, I hope the pain is subsiding. I'm sure Zoonie is not an ape - he's got a tail. I guess lazoons are so alien they cannot be classified by Earth...
Hi Keryn, Several times I wore a homemade Star Trek Kirk uniform (complete with a patch I made) to Jr. High. Got picked on a lot, but was never told I...
Hi Robin, Can't believe I've been on the computer for so long. Thanks, the pain is subsiding, but full relief is a day away! Can't wait! But it's now that...
Hi again Robin, Don called me "Space General Zero" one day, because I'm a bit pushy. So that's funny and is my SBC Global greeting! What a toot! You're right...
Hi Cheryl, A black woman President? I'd like to see an American Indian woman president of the USA. :-) I guess it's time they had their land back. (Yup, I've...
Hi Robin, A woman Native American as President would definitely work for me. Don's 1/3 Cherokee. And what happened when their lands were stolen was a...
I imagine in Fireball's world the WSP has something equivalent to the various (Military) Service Family Associations that exist today for (civilian) spouses of...
Hi Kelly, Space Age Bookshop - heavens, was it as long ago as THAT??? That takes me back (I thought it might have been Minotaur, but you're probably right). I...
Hi Robin, I have one of those badges (bought from Star Trader) plus another similar one (silver background) they were selling at the time. They cost me a...
Hi Cheryl, Oh crumbs - I have to tell you I'M the older one (49 and a half ... but who's counting). I don't know if Fanderson is expensive by UK standards...
Hi Keryn, You're not old. Anyway, I'm glad to be in my 40s, as we were raised so well! Some of the kids I encounter every day here are so spoiled. 0: Let's...
Hi folks, Episode for discussion this week is 'Space Monster'. This one was written by Gerry and Sylvia. Oddly, everyone, including Venus calls Zoonie...

Hi Cheryl, The trouble with being an officer (or being married to one) is 'social' is relative - quite a lot a these pastimes I've suggested for Eleanor are...
I like this story very much! When I was a child I thought the monster was quite scary - it was just how imagined dinosaurs to be. I love the tune 'This is the...
Hi Keryn, I think this is one of the best episodes. It's very rich in character detail. Also we see that XL5 is just one of many patrol ships. Steve thinks...
I was surprised that XL2 and XL5 did not know of the creature. I guess there had not been any surveys of the planet's life forms before XL2 arrived. Did XL2...
Hi Larry, It seems XL2 was performing a scouting mission. The planet was known of - it was on the charts, but I presume it had not been investigated - that...
Hi Robin, Didn't particularly care for this episode, but hey, everyone has their own taste! : ) As far as Zoonie, he is one of my fave XL5 characters....
Hi Larry, Great to hear from you! This episode lost me, because of the monster. Oh well... Never saw Nibbler in Futurama, but didn't watch much of that show....
