Fic: Loose Ends (or Five Times Pieces of Silver Changed Hands)

[lost_spook]

Through this week I rapidly approached (and have now passed) the Awefull moment where I would finish The Power Game and not have anything else to watch where people are likely to accuse one another of clinging on like a neurotic limpet with a peeping tom complex. Naturally, I pulled out my 500 Prompts list to find the one Persiflage had so kindly

Where did the blue come from?

The Star Trek novel How Much For Just The Planet? opens with the Enterprise's food machines producing breakfast that tastes normal, but is a variety of bright colours. If the same thing's happening to you, you'd better start watching out for milkshake-obsessed Vulcans, inflatable starships, star-crossed lovers, and musical interludes (not forgetting a cameo from the Brigadier and Benton).

It was only one bran flake, and I didn't taste it to see if it was normal! (I'm pretty sure the white had escaped from the Frosties, but I'm baffled by the blue.) ;-p

Bah humbug for TV show heads not making zillions of eps for you. Didn't one of the characters appear in a different series (getting like 'Bulman' here!)?

I think DVD makers will have to make a special dubbed version of the 'Power Game' for me. Brain!;P

A rogue soap powder flake:S

Well, it wasn't their fault - Patrick Wymark died suddenly before they could do a S4. Technically, there are more episodes, because The Power Game follows on from The Plane Makers, but that doesn't have quite the same set up.

LOL, renaming Henderson, you mean? I can see that at the very least you'd have to watch it several years post your Bulman kick!

It looked like the frosting off the Frosties had attacked a bran flake, but the additional blue colouring was the oddest part. I haven't yet managed to throw it out, but I suppose I will have to soon. :-)

Oh dear, sorry I didn't know that:(

Yes *g*

I would destroy before it seizes your mind!;p

LOL!! john_elliott's response is the best, lol!!

[lost_spook]

It was only one blue & white bran flake! No aliens have landed!

(...hmm. You can't make "it was only one blue and white bran flake" sound normal, can you?)

[a_phoenixdragon]

They haven't landed because you ate their transmitter...*giggles*

I find RPF weird to read, but I enjoyed your piece with Don Henderson;p 'Late Rivals' was my other fave. And the one with the fingers - James Maxwell, right?;D

[lost_spook]

:lol: It isn't RPF! ;-P

And the one with the fingers was actually Michael Jayston. James Maxwell had lunch with Susan in 'Civil Servants' and didn't get to hold anybody's hand. He's not the only person who does like to hold hands.

But, aw, thank you for bothering to read it!

[liadtbunny]

Well, I did think you made DH denser than what he was, so I'm glad you cleared that up;p

What? You mean it's spreading? Someone think of the children! And their palms:p

Not sure what was going on, but I enjoyed it:)
