Black Pudding
Dear Dr. Jackson, Ever since I started working for SHADO I’ve felt that HQ should have been placed in Rome or Athens, where the weather is warm, the food is excellent and the women are… Well anyway, can’t we at least get some better grub than black pudding and shepherd’s pie? Yours, Grumbling Australian Dear Grumbling Australian. You should learn to appreciate the finer aspects of the great English cuisine. It is…
The Virginia Monologues #3
Her: It was horrible. I mean, really horrible. I can’t remember ever being as scared in my life. I thought I was going to die, that it was all over. It looked at me and I could hear my heart pounding as it came towards me, lethal intent in its every move. There had been no warning, nothing to prepare me for it. And, strong willed woman that I am,…

The Virginia Monologues 2
Her The nerve of the man. To speak to me in that sort of way. Who does he think he is? Nothing more than second-in-command. I have greater ambitions than a mere lackey. I deserve the best. And anyway, shouldn’t he be flying the plane instead of trying to invite me on a dinner date? Not even a good chat–up line. I have done my research thoroughly. Tall and slender….

He owes me a couple of bottles of decent malt for doing this! Alec. Dear Dr Jackson A couple of weeks ago one of my colleagues at work persuaded me to sign up for a speed dating session….
Why Do I Write Fanfiction?
Got to talking the other day with another writer and we got off onto why do we write fan fiction. Specifically UFO fan fiction in this case. Why DO I write UFO fan fiction? Because it’s there? That’s only partially true. My first UFO fan fiction was written the summer after I discovered the show. There was so much to explore. There was Straker and his repressions and duty and…
Thunderbirds: The Movie 2004
Has anyone else noticed how much fans of the original series completely slaughter the 2004 movie? I must admit, I am one such person. It’s got to the point where no one will even watch it with me anymore, because I spend the whole time criticising it and yelling at the screen that they have got it wrong! Why is Alan so much younger? Where on earth did Fermat and…
Aquaboi’s Review of Identified
Aquaboi gives us his rather unique ‘take’ on the pilot episode: Identified Glowing ufo-worked. Splattering hot babes with machine guns-worked. Alien in trees shooting-worked. Hot chick lamely trying to crawl up tree and screaming – didn’t work [ would have rather seen her grabbed and taken or splattered as she tried in vain to crawl up a tree.] UFO /Rolls Royce chase – all of it worked. Henderson being tossed…
