I personally believe that oxygen pills, or at least one variation thereof, are taken sublingually. That way, you wouldn't have to actually swallow them; just...
Hi Rabid, In 'Flight Into Danger' Lieutenant Ninety is drifting in space unconscious after his oxygen pills run out. Steve takes an oxygen mask and tanks out...
Thanks for those views Robin and for clarifying the "it died with its master" line from Venus. Do you think this is a rather unusual way of saying the...
Hi Mrs Gooner, The Brain captures five tankers before it is killed. So there were five crews to account for. If we assume three man crews (Steve wonders what ...
Hi, I thought this might be of interest... Keryn AUSTRALIA DAY HONOURS 2007 - DON SPENCER MEDAL (OAM) OF THE ORDER OF AUSTRALIA IN THE GENERAL DIVISION Name:...
Hi everyone. I always think of Volvo as a sort of "Iago" character, crossed with Uriah Heep, though Bazan is certainly no Othello!!! He seems vain, gullible,...
Hi Mrs Gooner, Yup. There is something about this episode that suggests that Bazan is not exactly Platonia's salvation. I agree about the refresher fluid. ...
Absolutely cool, Keryn! Thanks for sharing! I read up on Don Spencer online and found him to be quite a great person! Cheers, Keryn <space_echoes@...>...
Hi folks, This is possibly the worst story in terms of plot, but it has some of the best character scenes of the entire series The final scene with Venus and...
This week's episode for discussion is Doomed Planet. This is the fifth episode in the Carlton Region 2 release order. Anyone got any comments to make on this...
Hi Robin, It's not just the plot that's awful - the way the episode is constructed is awful too, so disjointed and very badly executed as though the whole...
Wow, I'm a little late on this one, aren't I? Sorry. I just haven't had as much time as I used since I got this new job. Anyway.... -I can't believe that...
Thanks to Rabid Kookaburra and Mrs Gooner for those in depth thoughts on Space Magnet. Firstly I must apologise to Rabid for the delay in her message reaching...
I'm not saying the sewing thing was sexist. I'm saying that it reflects badly on Steve and Matt that they can't do even simple domestic chores. There's...
Okay, I think I've finally caught up! One twenty-first century take on "Doomed Planet" coming up! -This episode has a really great, action-y start! Love it! ...
Hi Rabid Kookaburra, As I said, it's not a question of whether Steve and Matt can do their laundry. Venus is being a friend and being companionable. Matt...
Hi Rabid Kookaburra, Yes, they do seem just a little bit callous about Membrono's imminent destruction. Still, we see far worse behaviour in Star Trek: The...
Hi again Robin, Sorry for delay in responding - my absence has been caused by illness :o( followed by holiday :o) (Mind you - where's everyone else got to?...
Hi Robin, Liz, THE Simon Cowell of the forum is BACK! I felt it was slow. I didn't think it was the worst episode, but it dragged. Lay off the Lazoon! I love...
Hi again, Don't you just love it when everything comes together and works as it was intended? Surely this must have been the feeling of the production team...
Hi Mrs Gooner, Sorry to hear you've been unwell - I hope you are fully recovered and enjoyed your holiday. Zoonie: Yes, his debut could have been a whole lot...
Hi Mrs Gooner, Flying Saucers... There isn't really any indication that Zero is just objecting to the term 'flying saucer' and prefers 'ufo'. He practically...
Why would a space traffic controller--whom I presume would be the equivalent of an air traffic controller--need to be a fully-fledged astronaut? Are...
... equivalent of an air ... spacewalks, etc. really such ... I expect that this is part of a WSP officer's ongoing training (Officers' Professional...
Hi Ed, I think it's something along those lines. However I think Zero specifically states Ninety has to win his astronauts' wings because he wants to be a...
Beginning today, we will have some of the puzzle pages from the Fireball XL5 Annuals and new original puzzles featured in our Files section! Look for the 'XL5...
Sorry for the delay, but the first of our new rotating stories from the Fireball XL5 Annuals is ready for you to enjoy! Go to our 'Files' section, and open...
I don't know if Mr. Day plans on putting up more episodes for discussion, but I thought I'd post my thoughts and comments on this episode anyway. -Jock debuts...
Of course we can continue discussing the episodes! The new stuff is there to provide more benefits to our members. I love this episode as well. The plant man...
This is a good episode but it does appear to be hurriedly thrown together. Many of the plot elements seem to make very little sense, as Rabid points out. I...
