UFO episode reviews... [spoilers]

I have a problem with some of those 3D pix, too, but those require you to relax your eyes and simply look forward with each eye - which is tough to do! This picture is, I think much easier to see - and I wear glasses, too! - because all you have to do is cross your eyes until the two pix overlap in the middle. I suppose some people can do it and some can't

I don't get it.
What is supposed to happen? I cross my eyes at that and I see nothing unusual.
Just to see the resemblance :
Neal McDonaugh (with Straker-wig) - Ed Bishop
Michael Shanks - Michael Billington
Neal McDonaugh (with Straker-wig) - Ed Bishop
Michael Shanks - Michael Billington
Cross your eyes until the images "double" and continue to refocus until the double of the one on the left and the double of the one on the right meet in the middle.
I don't get it.
So you end up with focus on the "middle image" and there's an image on either side, but ignore them.
The middle image is in 3d.
It helps if you are exactly in front of the screen and the pictures are lined up exactly in front of each eye, so try moving forward or back.
Just couldn't resist. Cross your eyes ...
Lt. Gay Ellis was always meant to be seen in 3D!

The resemblance is uncanny, in both cases. Yeah, I could buy Shanks as Foster.
OTOH, I just finished reading the UFO-2 Series Proposal, which is really very well thought out and believable for the present time. It's a good presentation, and I can't help but wonder why this didn't actually get picked up and put into production. I liked the fact that it was a continuation of the original and that Ed Bishop was apparently interested in reprising his role as Straker.
I don't know if a modern redo of this series could ever recapture the mojo, baby!
Be-have!
Be-have!

It would be difficult for Bishop to reprise his role as Straker. He died on June 8th in 2005, five days after his co-star Michael Billington.
Let's hope if UFO ever gets remade, it will be as good (if not better) as the original series.
In a way, I'm kinda surprised it hasn't been remade already. The series was very popular when it came out, and was in some ways as good as Star Trek (albeit a little more serious).
With the computer technology of present day, this series has a lot of potential, and we can only hope some TV bigshots will realize that.
Here's the vitally important question: Who could possibly fill THESE boots in a modern remake? 
And who would fill this bra?
Jolene Blalock, or Moon Bloodgood!Here's the vitally important question: Who could possibly fill THESE boots in a modern remake?
Gawd, I'm suddenly remembering why I loved UFO so much...
btw, where did you read that proposal?
It was posted on Page 1 by The Badger. Here's the link:

I believe it was dated somewhere in the mid-90s, 1996 maybe. I didn't realize that Bishop had died in 2005, but he apparently was interested at the time this proposal was written.
I just double-check the proposal, and it was written in '96.
