Subject: Space1999: Calendar Controversy!
Hi!
I ordered my calendar from slowdazzle.com. Beforedoing so, I
checked out the preview images and to my dismay (but not totally
unexpected) saw too many (IMHO) pictures from Year 2. No offence to
Year Two fans, but I would rather have seen either an even split or
slight bias toward Year One.
Anyone else's thoughts? Has the calendar shipped? I don't think it
has since I'm sure we would have some reviews!
Hey...wait! That's it...after ExE, maybe can review merhandise
that we have! I don't have any myself, but for those that do, it would
be interesting to note what you have and how you like it. (Was this
suggested already?)

I wonder if that's because there are more publicity photos of Y2 than Y1
available? The Space:1999 phonecard is a Y2 photo.
I haven't seen the calendar yet, I would expect to see it fairly soon
though.

Hm... good idea that. If we put pictures of our 1999 stuff on our websites
so that people can see what we're talking about, it won't restrict the
discussion to those who have the stuff.

Over 1600 people have visited the Space:1999 UK Video Log... and
there's some great new content coming soon. Watch this space for details!

First, to the complaint of too many Year Two pictures on the 1999
calendar offered by Slowdazzle. I wonder if I'm looking at the same
calendar because my first reaction upon seeing the website was that it
was mainly all year one with only an occassional year two pic. Oh well.
Either way it is better than no 1999 calendar at all.

OK...it wasn't a "complaint", just a comment. (well, I was complaining
a little!). If you click on "image previews" you will see ALL the
large images used for the calendar. If you click on "Sample Page", you
will see the January 1999 page. This does show a scene from Year One.
It also shows the pictures down the side from the first four episodes
of the series. My assumption is that this will continue for each page
of the calendar (12 * 4 = 48).

Well, I had a look at the image previews too. I turned down my screen
resolution in an effort to see what each picture was, but the only ones I
can ID are:
- Koenig & Russell (Y2)
- Koenig & Russell (Y1)
- Um, a big grey swirly thing (Y?)
- Koenig & Russell on Piri (Y1)
- The Exiles (Y2)
- Bergman, Russell and Koenig (Y1)
- New Adam, New Eve? (Y2)
- Alan (Y?)
- No idea (Y?)
- Koenig & Russell (Y1)
- The thingy from Matter of Balance (Y2)
- Something very dark and difficult to see
- Somebody and Maya (Y2)
Maybe some eagle-eyed user blessed with a better screen can enlighten us as
to the missing scenes and then we can close this debate. Or maybe we'll get
the calendar before then.

Maybe I have better resolution on my TV screen but as I see it the
images used in the calendar are as follows:
Left to right, top to bottom:
1. John and Helena (Y2)
2. John and Helena (Y1) from "Full Circle"
3. Spaceship graveyard on Psychon (Y2) "The Metamorph"
4. John and Helena on Piri (Y1) "Guardian of Piri"
5. John and Helena and Cantor on Golos (Y2) "The Exiles"
6. John, Victor and Helena in darkened passageway (Y1) "Mission of the
Darians?"
7. UNKNOWN
8. Alan in pygamas (Y?) "Collision Course" or "Beta Cloud"
9. Three suited figures, one down (Y2) AB Chrysalis
10. John and Helena, publicity shot (Y1)
11. Thaed on Sunim (Y2) "A Matter of Balance"
12. Koenig at table of skeletons (Y1) "Testament of Arkadia"
13. Koenig with Maya in Command Center (Y2) Episode unknown
That equals 5 (possibly 6) Y1 images and 6 (possibly 7) Y2 images. No
so off balance as had been previously suggested.

I have a pretty good screen, and played with the image in an editor, and
saw a bit more:
>- Koenig & Russell (Y2)
>- Koenig & Russell (Y1)
>- Um, a big grey swirly thing (Y?)
The spaceship graveyard on Psychon (Y2).
>- Koenig & Russell on Piri (Y1)
>- The Exiles (Y2)
>- Bergman, Russell and Koenig (Y1)
>- New Adam, New Eve? (Y2)
It does look like it, namely the campfire scene.
>- Alan (Y?)
In a medical gown. Probably either "Collision Course" (Y1) or "Beta Cloud"
(Y2).
>- No idea (Y?)
Two spacesuited Alphans sitting inside an orange structure. Possibly from
"AB Chrysalis" (Y2), but I'm not sure.
>- Koenig & Russell (Y1)
>- The thingy from Matter of Balance (Y2)
>- Something very dark and difficult to see
Very difficult indeed. Even brightening the image, I can only make out
that it's Carter in the back, Koenig in front of him, staring at (or over)
a low rock formation. They appear to be in Y1 clothing.
>- Somebody and Maya (Y2)
Koenig and Maya in Command Center.
>Maybe some eagle-eyed user blessed with a better screen can enlighten us as

That makes 4 Y1s, 6 Y2s, and two uncertains.
>Or maybe we'll get the calendar before then.
HAS anyone gotten the calendar yet? What kind of delivery speed do they
claim?
It will be great to have a Space: 1999 calendar in 1999!

Martin Willey, now here in the U.S. and virtually computerless,
passed on that the calendar is DEFINITELY:
6 YEAR 1
6 YEAR 2
because he knows the guy who made up the calendar. So there,
stop your quibbling and just ORDER IT!!!

So the one of Alan in medical garb is probably from "Collision Course."
Not sure what the other, of two spacesuited Alphans in an orange room, is
from.

Never had any intention otherwise! :-)

I also ordered my calender. I for one can't WAIT to see it! Year
one...year two...Whatever... I'm just so glad someone out there made a
calender for 1999 fans for the year 1999. I'll hang it up at my desk at
work with pride.
