I think it would be interesting to do again, as it seems the favorite/worsts
in each varies with the makeup of this group, which changes every few months
(okay, I could have worded that better, but what I can I say - it's Friday).
We could even expand into other categories
Other suggestions:
Best Eagle crash
Best alien
Worst costumed alien
Worst continuity scene
Best death scene
Worst death scene
I would be happy to vote - but due to time and my own procastination, Simone
will you coordinate! If you are willing - we could send you categories, and
then you can place the ballot for us to answer to.
Good luck!

Jeanette, Simone, et al.:
My probably worthless suggestions for other catagories:
Best/worst fight scene
Best/worst guest star
Best/worst spaceship
Most unusual location/part of Alpha or the Moon
Dumbest/Coolest looking alien planet landscape/setting
Dumbest/Coolest creature Maya ever turned into
Best/worst idea of the original format, as devised by G&S Anderson.
Best/worst change Fred Freiberger made.
Worst case of plagarism in any episode.
(I hereby nominate "Immunity Syndrome", a title from a Star Trek episode)
Most outdated aspect of the show, not counting the out-of-date dates: "1999"
Most futuristic (not yet outdated) aspect of the show.
Dumbest thing Tony ever did that demonstrates why
he's not fit to be second in command.
(My nomination: Beta Cloud, when, after trapping the creature in a vacuum
chamber, Tony then opens it up to check to see if the creature is dead yet
thereby letting it back out. Real smart Tony.)
Character I would most liked to have been.
(Mad dictator John Koenig!)
Character I would least liked to have been.
(3 way tie: Darian midget, A Reveared One (Rowland's Test subjects), Yasko)
Props from the show that I would most like to have
(My favorite: Balor's terror paintings!)

Now for the really scary thought - those shoes are coming back into style!
Yikes, cross those fingers!!!! Hmmm, wonder if I can sell the ones my
mother probably has in the store room for fashionable antiques .
I'll stick to my LA gear tennis shoes!

Yes, those heels...
I was secretely wishing to buy one of them uncomfortable shoes.
Fortunately, they went out of fashion at the end of the 70s. And I
was too young. But a couple of years ago, while browsing through Cosmo (a very
enlightening magazine, may I add... ;-) ;-) ;-) ), there it was
again! I swore I would not fall prey to those thick soled ugly
things. But... I bought one pair. Just for kicks. And, yes, they were
on sale, if you have to know. It feels almost as walking on the moon,
when I have them on. How's that for an Alphan, huh? :-)
Have a nice evening in your timeframe!

This reminds me of a very disturbing sight I witnessed at the bus station on
the way home. It appears that platform wingtips (WINGTIPS!) are in fashion
with the teen set.

On DS9, Major Kira also wears some enormous heels.
Nana Visitor is such a short and skinny girl, that they have
to pump her up so as to seem more commanding, and worthy of
being a major. I really doubt that any military would issue such
footware that would be impractically clumsy for running, or any other
type of combat (and there have been episodes in which they did lots
of running, climbing, etc), unless it were psychological warefare. The
Bajorans must been hoping if their women-in-combat seem taller, they will
seem more threatening, and hoping that the enemy doesn't notice
the stilts she's wearing. Her shoulders are padded too!
I noticed this in last week's "Lesbian" episode, where Kira and Julian
discuss why people would repress love between Dax and her former wife.
Even with enormous booster heels, Nana is still the shortest of the cast,
barely eye-to-eye with that little troll Quark.

Hi all,
It seems that either the list has gotten quiet today, or else my
e-mail system is on the fritz again. So....
I was thinking about Simone's suggestions for Space:1999 awards, and
it got me thinking about good scenes that may or may not be in
favorite episodes. One scene that I find pretty amusing is in
"Journey to Where". Overall, a good episode, I think, because the
characters seem fairly relaxed and comfortable (Alan singing, etc).
The scene that comes to mind is where Helena is checking her monitor
to find out if her fever is increasing. Koenig tries to look over
her shoulder and she scowls and turns away, leaving him looking
annoyed and frustrated. It seems true-to-life and even maybe
ad-libbed.
Anybody else....?

Subject: Shoes Again - This Time Maya's
So, we secretly all have a foot fetish, huh?
Major Kira and Balor may have MEGA heels, but did anybody notice Maya in "The
Rules of Luton" -- basic, run of the mill, 1970's non-descript off-white
TENNIS SHOES for all that climbing about Hyde Park!
And what about those cheapie brown shoes for all the extras on Alpha during
the first season (and possibly the second as well)?

Correct me if I'm wrong folks, but wasn't Alan wearing a pair of the cheapie
brown ones when he turned off the Commander's incoming call while waiting in
the eagle in "The Guardian of Piri? BTW, I think my brother has a pair of
ugly brown shoe boots similar to those worn by the alphans. :)
