I know what you mean, even Dragon's Domain no longer scares me. I blame the years of Nancy Pelosi and Helen Thomas pictures posted here on FR.
Domain and Testament Of Arkadia were the best two episodes to me.
Martin Landau spoke about 1999 and MI when he was Dragoncon this last time. It was a great pleasure to meet and speak to him for a minute. Here is me and my wife at his table.
I never thought I would ever get to meet any Gerry Anderson people, let alone Koenig himself.
