Collaboration: SciFi and Fantasy character names

[geoschmo]

Possibly. Both of them are really before my time. I did have a vague recolection of the interceptor ship on the UFO series. I think I may have had one as a kid. But I don't remember the show at all.

Funny you mention Space 1999, cause according to the UFO website they were cancelled because te production company wanted to move on to doing that one instead. Apparently they are by the same people.

[Gryphin]

Deathstalker
Thanks for the include in the list.
Not to be picky but it is: "Gryphin"

I started a thread:
"Forum Posters Ship Names List idea"

"Paul Bunyan" is correct; the other spelling is a mistake. Other figures from American folklore would be:

Pecos Bill
John Henry
Joe Magarac
Casey Jones
Johnny Appleseed

but some of those don't fit the hero characteristics you wanted very well.

"The Starlost" premiered in 1975, had Harlan Ellison and Ben Bova among the writers, and starred Keir Dullea (Dave Bowman in 2001: A Space Odyssey).

"Ark II" premiered in 1976, and had little else to recommend it that I recall.

Thanks for reminding me of Starlost (or, I do remember it being called "Ark II"). I have been trying to remember that show for years, but couldn't remember what it was called. Everyone I described it to had never heard of anything like it. You just never know what you are going to find on this forum!

I got one for you, make a list with all the transformers names.
