But I was stuck on Matt. Oh and Capaldi was really great at playing Richelieu. He had just the right amount of evilness in him. Perhaps I brought my dislike of the character with me when watching him in the role of Dr. Who. He was really the villain you loved to hate in the Musketeers. On another note. I have a question. I discovered a site called Shadotoria.com and some UFO fan fiction. I read all the stories there and there was one that still had part 2 to come. Thing is the site shows the last update was 2015. I can only assume the story was done by the site's owner - Toria, it didn't say. Bu it was called Metamorphosis and had Paul Foster's character in it. Pt. 1 was titled Breakdown. The author said this was a contribution to Lightcudder's writing prompt: Flat Tyre. I figured since Lightcudder's writing is on this website someone might know about the story. Thanks! IP Logged

I really had liked that first part of the story and wondered if it was on here somewhere. And I didn't know Lightcudder wasn't contributing anymore here. I found shadotoria by accident while browsing. It could be a very old site for all I know. IP Logged

That's one arena of medical research that needs a boost. Space travel, base on the Moon, fleet of submarines, underground bunker headquarters - and I still turn into a sneeze machine at a stand of ragweed or someone's pet rabbit. Come on science! Keep up!

Of course, they might be naturally beardless, or the green goo may inhibit beard growth. IP Logged

They've gone back to Moonbase to do the paperwork. (By special request) They are scheduled for an exercise session, and we see Nina fencing with one of the Interceptor pilots, having been encouraged by Chrys to take up the sport again. Chrys has also taught Foster the basics. Straker has never tried fencing, but he's about to! IP Logged

Her duties aren't limited to washing the dishes ). All I know about fencing myself is what I've seen Captain Picard do in the 'Enterprise' gym - so I had to read up about it. Educational this, isn't it Now let's see. Will my plot have the two of them duelling in earnest... Yes of course, it has to! IP Logged
