Lee Homer Lieutenant Offline Long Live UFO Posts: 62 Location: United Kindom Reflections In The water Apr 28th, 2011 at 6:39pm Print Post My all time favorite episode has to be "Reflections In The Water." I first saw the edited version of it on "Invasion UFO" which was an edied b-movie that was released onto VHS in 1981. After I watched that bit, I had to find out which episode it was. Now I watch the original, unedited version on DVD, I love it even more. the most Memorable moments has to be Straker's fight scene in the Underwater Dome and the UFO attack at the end. I thought it was Spectactular then and I still think it is now If Sky One was real....I'd be flying it right about now IP Logged

They used him in Timelash where the difference is even more noticeable. IP Logged

I found that extra umph into those particular episodes If Sky One was real....I'd be flying it right about now IP Logged

I love the beginning, where Straker is seen to be bored to tears with reviewing a fish documentary! One of my favorite scenes from the studio! But the whole replication aspect for the single purpose of letting the UFOs pass into the atmosphere without a hitch never worked very well for me. If their intel was that exact, why were they focusing on a mass attack? They would easily have enough information to pick off the command team one by one in much smaller skirmishes! It's not an episode that I rewatch often. The premise of the story may have sounded much more intriguing on paper, but it didn't transfer well to the screen. The pacing is so slow at times that I want to fast forward to the end, when something interesting finally happens. I do like the underwater dome idea, though, and have used it a lot in my own stories. The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged

It seems so much more realistic as opposed to an underwater base as seen like on "Stingray." There was one bit of the story that I didn't quite understand. When Straker and Foster came across that mockup of SHADO headquaters, why did the Aliens make clones of the SHADO personal if they were only fooling SHADO via radio? They were only mimicing their voices? I found the fish documentry bit funny as I can relate to how Straker feels when it comes to documetries like that. especially the ones on The National Geographic Channel If Sky One was real....I'd be flying it right about now IP Logged

He tells him that the radio links include video, so the aliens would have to look like their counterparts. The sky is not the limit; nor are the stars. WWW IP Logged
Lee Homer Lieutenant Offline Long Live UFO Posts: 62 Location: United Kindom Re: Reflections In The water Reply #8 - Jun 14th, 2011 at 6:25pm Print Post ahhh. I do quite like the idea of alien cloneing. They used that idea in Space 1999, the Star Trek shows and I think Dr Who used that idea too somewhere...at least I think it was Dr Who. I mean for the time, it was quite an original idea. It was a shame that we only got to see the lunar tanks twice. It would've been good to have seen them more often If Sky One was real....I'd be flying it right about now IP Logged
