Alright, I've just gone through my first Annual ever (thanks to Phill Wright)
and it's bugging me. What do the letters on the LSRO patch indicate?
By the way, Maya's in that (near) mini-skirt again on page 58, showing a LOT
of leg as she kicks an alien.
Annual Blooper Alert: "David Kano - apparently facing an unexpected enemy!
What is Kano's normal job on Alpha?" Why is this a blooper? The picture is
of John Judd who so often turned up as a security guard, not Clifton Jones
who played Kano. He's even wearing his security uniform. I guess Freddie
helped them out with this and just figured, again, nobody would notice.
This book is hilarious, especially where the caption is "Maya joined the
Alpha team after the total destruction of her home planet and the death of
her father. Name him and name the planet." The charming little English tyke
who owned this annual previously answered "Metor from the planet Psycheon."
Koenig's crashing through that glass again on page 60 too. Dumb caption?
"I've always SAID John needed glasses."
Too silly!

How did you find this out, gary? Please cite a reference!
How about the AMC on the orange suit Koenig wears when he goes off exploring?
Or is it AMF?
How about something really obscure: Didn't the lets-put-numbers-on-everything
craze go a bit out of control? Specifically, why is there a big number "8"
on the upper wall on the inside of Voyager 1? (See the episode guide in the
tech notebook). This was Voyager 1, not Voyager 8. Why would you need to
number a big blank wall? It just seems to say "This big blank wall is wall
wall number 8." "Or behind this wall is fuel tank #8? Eight of anything is too
redundent. Voyager only needed 3 landing legs. What the heck does 8 stand
for? I think the Swifts had these crazy numbers also.

I'm confused. Are both Jones and Judd in this photo? Or is it only Judd, and
the photo is mislabeled as Kano? Was FF helping out one or both?
Again: What is the source of the info on John Judd? Was he credited in an
episode? Where did you get his name. This is as interesting as who-played-
Tanya.

This is close to what I guessed at as well, though mine was "Lunar Science
and Research Operations" (since essentially Alpha is all one organization and
Operations suggests a part of something larger). I have no source, and it
probably meant nothing, just like all those numbers Ronald mentioned all over
EVERYTHING.
When you're done with numbers, then start looking for air vents. If Keith
wilson didn't cover a surface with numbers he almost certainly did with air
vents. They're everywhere, and if you think of the duct work that should be
behind them, their numbers and their placement gets pretty silly. Now I just
tell myself a lot of them are for ventilation for all the mechanicals behind
the walls.
As for "John Judd," in the picture in the 1977 Annual in which he was
miscredited as Kano, he is the only person in the picture. I assume this
actor is John Judd since his name appears in several episodes in Season 2 as
a security officer in which this particular actor appears (I think he's in
some Season 1 episodes also) and the other guy who appears regularly in
Season 2 never seems to be credited, or if he is he's not credited
consistently, so I still can't figure out his name, but I know he's NOT John
Judd because the credit appears in episodes that he's not in.
