All she needed was 5 minutes alone, powdering her nose, and make a phone call to Mr. Photographer, give him the hotel location and time, voila.

With Straker knocked out on the floor?  :Smiley

With Straker in feelsorryformissitsamansworldremember mode, she wouldn't need to knock him out. He was already reeling from her charms.  It's bad when an operative you once considered wrong for telling the truth about sometimes it's difficult, suddenly tells you, 'her kind never stay out of trouble' and you don't GET IT. Straker says (and when he did it my jaw dropped) Maybe.  MAYBE? Shocked MAYBE? That vase blow unhinged you, Commander  Cheesy  (best Hercule Poirot voice) Leetile gray cells derailed, Monsieur Straker.

I do agree about the plot holes making for good fanfic.  Star Trek is really hard to write for, and that's because its canon IS set in stone!  Wink


If you're including ST: TNG in that statement, I'm renting a

I really think Straker is blind most of the time when it comes to women.  Everyone has an achilles heel and I think that's  one of his. Many.  Grin

  Strange as it may seem, my take on lover-boy Alec is that he would have seen her coming from a mile away.  (I had to say that or Nans would get me )

Deborah, why did you say you had the July challenge? We know May's, what happened to June? Shocked Is this a Timelash thing? Cheesy
 
Hoo boy! Do I ever want to undo one or two episodes.  Or three. Or twenty-six.
Not that I ever interfere with           SmileyCANONSmiley
No not me. Smiley
(lays wreath on Henderson's grave, Mary's grave, Rutland's grave, Straker's several graves,  Shocked {shoots Foster} {shoots him again for good measure } Foster's grave... )

What do you mean by saying you're taking me in for mass murder?  Cry

Oh, how much I enjoyed killing off Henderson!  And replacing him with someone that wasn't a constant noose around Straker's neck! *sigh*

I love being a writer. . .  Cool

I think Henderson did respect Straker, he was caught between a rock and a hard place. The operational needs of SHADO vs. a limited budget. Plus I think he still wanted to command the organization but was pushed aside due to health concerns.

Henderson recognized Ed's dedication, he voiced it in Mindbender and his description of Straker in Timelash was telling.

I consider their battles more tension relief than anything else, they were more alike than they wanted to admit. Just my opinion. Wink

I tone the rhetoric down between them in my stories after Mindbender. :Smiley

Yes it is fun to be a writer. Wink

I have the June Challenge but I don't want to post it until May. (Matt knows, he kinda gave me the idea.)

And now we all know what the July Challenge is as well. Wink

And as for Henderson - He's one of my favs for the same reasons Matt gave.

I mean, if we discount the rant in 'Mindbender', every conflict between Henderson and Straker has really been about Henderson trying to balance the monetary needs of SHADO and all those other projects that need funding and Straker's seeming insistence that SHADO needs more and more regardless of how it affects any other project.

When I set up the astrology for the two men, I made Straker and Henderson both Capricorns with the possibility of a decent interpersonal relationship (parent/child, teacher/student). SHADO is a divisive factor for them.

Some people would call that a 'fixit'. I call it a rational extrapolation.
