Maybe the artwork from the movie made her look better than she is. But if she has no smarts, that does it for me anyway.

Now Ziva, she totally rocks!

I do need to watch them, just in case someone else writes a crossover!

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Pam wrote her Dallas/UFO story. The curcumstances surounding that were similar to the origins of Distant Memories.

I'm surprised that you haven't written a crossover yet! : I'll be willing to bet that you could come up with a good one!

Oooo, now that one sounds like must read! Wonder Woman rocks! I loved Lynda Carter's portrayal of her! At six feet she could look Straker right in the eye!

Straker and Picard are cut from the sme cloth. Both men of honor. One of Picard's most shining moments, was when he stood up to Admiral Halftell, refusing to allow him to take Data's daughter Lal, in the TNG episode Offspring. The words he spoke still send shivers down my spine. Truly a man of wisdom.

Crossovers are never easy - and crossovers with U.F.O. have their own difficulties mainly because of the obviously alternate history and technology in the UFOverse. It's hard to be true to both sets of characters.

I just can't get my head around even trying a modern CSI or Law & Order cross with U.F.O. - although it's been done. My ability to suspend disbelief just won't go there. SHADO had a moonbase and Earth had research and mining facilties there in 1980 and the world that CSI and L&O belong to don't.  (Although Straker and Jackson vs Goren and Eames would be a hoot.)

Star Trek is a little easier - in the STverse a lot of historical information has been lost and it had been established early on that space exploration had continued and advanced much farther than in RL. All that was really required was for SHADO to stay secret during WW3 so that the Federation didn't have a good handle on them.

I chose Kirk for that one because I wanted it to be a time travel story - a replay of 'Tomorrow is Yesterday' and Picard's Enterprise just wasn't noted for being sent back in time and Kirk's was. There were other considerations as well, but that was a key one.

Straker and Wonder Woman? Well histories within the DCU (DC Universe) is so highly maleable, almost anything goes - and does. Hmm, if I didn't have so much on my plate right now I might try my hand at that one.

SHADO and Wayne Industries? - That would be fun too.

SHADO and Superman? - that is fun. Straker is so versatile. 

I always loved Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman!  I don't think I could do it if I had to stay true to the comics, since I never read them nor wanted to.  I wanted to be Wonder Woman when I grew up!  (Although I think the show only ran one or two seasons.)  I'll have to see if I can get it on Netflix and revisit that universe.  Yes, Matt, the idea of looking Straker directly in the eye is a tempting one, and actually one I've done before (The Bodyguard.)  Hmmm.  Another flying woman.  Do I perceive a pattern here?

Pam did a good job with them, but it was sad that her take made Straker so old.  I wish there was a way to do a L&O:CI/UFO crossover with both shows in the same time period.  But as those who attempt to put UFO in the present have found, the mind set of the characters changes with that shift.  There's no way to get around it.

Me too, and I liked her in other things as well. The show ran three seasons. One season set durring WW2 and two set in the late seventies. Like I said, a crossover would be a hoot! I don't think Straker was that old in Pam's Dallas story as it would have been set in the 1980's.

I whole heartedly agree with that. A Straker that grew up forty years later is going to have a much different outlook than the original, same with the rest of the characters.

Right on Deb, A really well done crossover is true to both universes. Not easy to do.
