Yes I have often wondered whatever happened to our good friend Ouma. I
do believe he survived the Breakaway disaster as most of the people on
the base did but we never got to see him again. So if he survived he
must have been reassigned and David Kano was assigned to his position.
Fine. So where did Ouma go? Let me suggest the same mysterious
department that the following went to: Victor Bergman, Paul Morrow,
David Kano eventually, Annette Fraser, Tanya Alexander, Bob Mathias,
Yasko Nagumi, Doctor Ben Vincent and Sandra Benes. Boy, Alphans keep
disappearing and no one seems to miss them. Except the viewers that is.

I, for one, am glad that Quoma met an untimely end. And I am so because I grew
so to love David Kano. He was quite funny in many ways.
For a start, he seemed to love "computer" just as much Scotty loved the
engines on the Enterpise (sorry to mention Brand X). Anyway, Kano's character
provided some much needed comic relief. Don't you think?

My favourite quotes of David Kano:
1. But Computer will have to be de-activated.
2. Computer can't read much of this data; there's too much interference.
3. Computer never tells stories.
4. Naturally.
5. I swore I'd never go through this again.
Can anyone guess which episode each one belongs to?
I just watched Breakaway intensely this morning and I still can't see
Steiner's Space Helmet pop open.
Concurring on the absence of Ouma and the presence of Kano, I think they
made a good choice also, however, I liked Ouma's accent. Certainly
missed is Tanya Alexander. She is not in too many episodes, but boy is
she beautiful. I liked when she played tennis with Alan in "The Last
Sunset." Any idea where she's at today?
It seems as though many of us are picking the episodes apart. I prefer
to see more analysis of the story-line and characters. However, with all
the knowleged people I see on the list, I think we're in store for a
Space:1999 bloopers video.

My favorite quote from David Kano is. ( When will They ever learn)
What episode does He say that in.
Also Jhon said He could not see Steiner's helmet open.
It was Nordstom's helmet that opened..

Its the Alpha Rec Section they went to- after all the stress of command
center and main mission they all cracked, and now tend bar. Victor is the
old salty bartender who dispenses philosophical ale along with the regular
brew. Paul Morrow is the high strung barkeep, who's always sure someone is
hitting on his girl- Sandra Benes- she does this little stage number in a
leopard skin outfit she picked up along the way. Ouma and Kano are the two
who always keep to themselves- and play checkers in the corner, sharing
stories about the cerebral babe that got away. Annette Fraser is a drunk
burnout with too much eye makeup from all the stress due to the precarious
situations her hubby got into, Tanya Alexandre is the hot hostess with the
exotic accent. Yasko Nagumi is not allowed to have any alcohol, as once
her speech begins to slur, she is so incomprehensible everyone thinks she's
an Alien. Bob Mathias is around to fix the broken beer taps, they break a
lot, especially when hot headed Paul Morrow has been slamming them down
during his shift. And Ben Vincent usually is called from behind the bar to
help out the customer who becomes ill from trying, you guessed it,
Verdeschi's Crater Ale on microbrew night!
Later Crater,

Hi folks,
Just going through some of the mail I missed during my time off-site, I
came across Mark's Lost Alphans Bar & Grill. As well as giving me a real
good laugh, I got the feeling that this has potential for a mini series of
its own.
I can picture Paul trying to knock Dave O'Reilly's head off after he made a
move on Sandra, failing, and giving him Verdeschi's latest as revenge
instead. Our Dave ends up trying it on with Tanya, but finds himself on
the wrong end of Alan Carter's fist, our hero pilot coming down to look for
volunteers to be co-pilot on the next recon trip.
Or maybe...
Alpha gets taken over by blobby BEMs, who overlook Bob and some hitherto
unknown female extra. Upon asking "Who are you?" of Bob, she hears the
reply "I'm just a cook. A lowly cook"....
Any talented cartoonist amongst us? This could become something of a comic
strip...
