The first is a "little continuity error" and I can't claim to have ever noticed it, but the second is a big mistake and has a funny story to go with it, as told by Nick Tate (Alan Carter) one year at the Space: 1999 Alliance con. When the visor came open during the take, Nick pointed out the problem to the director thinking that they would redo the scene. The director said something along the lines of "Oh, no one will notice", and used it anyway. Of course, sf fans being like we are, most everyone notices it right away. With that kind of attitude from the people in charge, is it any wonder the show had problems? Mary Anne Espenshade ...!{allegra, seismo}!umcp-cs!aplvax!mae P.S. This year's Alliance con is in Washington D.C. in July, if anyone is interested.
