Plot summary for
"Adam-12"
Log 1: The Impossible Mission (1968)
Pete Malloy, a six year veteran of the L.A.P.D., plans on quitting the force after his partner is killed. However, prior to his handing in his resignation he is to break in rookie officer Jim Reed on his first night on the force. During what would be the first patrol of their seven year partnership the two officers deal with a hysterical woman who thinks her son's salamander has crawled down the back of her dress, a pair of liquor store robbers, a baby in distress and a group of trigger happy teenagers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12
Adam-12 was a television program which ran from 1968 until 1975 on NBC. The program concentrated on the daily activities of a pair of Los Angeles police officers, veteran Pete Malloy (Martin Milner) and rookie Jim Reed (Kent McCord), and to a lesser extent Sergeant William "Mac" MacDonald (William Boyett). The show was produced by Jack Webb, who also was behind Dragnet and Emergency!. The series was nominally considered a spin-off of Webb's Dragnet 1967, and the Reed and Malloy characters appeared on episodes of the parent program.
In the pilot episode, seven-year veteran Malloy is planning to resign from the police department following the death of his partner, who was killed in the line of duty while trying to foil an armed robbery. Malloy is persuaded to stay on and train a new partner: rookie officer Jim Reed, fresh out of the police academy and a two-year stint in the Army. Reed has a lot of potential, but is green and overeager. At the end of the pilot episode, Reed disobeys Malloy's direct order, but succeeds in arresting several armed persons. Malloy yells at him; however, the Division's Watch Commander, Malloy's one-time training officer (played by veteran character actor and voiceover announcer Art Gilmore, who also narrated the openings to the 1955-59 TV series Highway Patrol), reminds Malloy that he was once an eager young rookie, much like Reed. Malloy takes it on himself to mold Reed into one of Los Angeles' "finest," which, as evidenced by later episodes, he does.
Adam-12 episodes centered on Malloy and Reed's maturing skills and relationship as patrol partners, and their shared experiences. Both would be wounded in the line of duty, kidnapped, and held hostage (separately and together), and face disciplinary measures for their mistakes. Car chases and shoot-outs occurred, but with less frequency than in other TV cop series. A typical episode involved Reed and Malloy encountering people and places on their daily patrol beat, with incidents ranging from humorous to deadly serious. Sometimes a common incident or theme is explored throughout the episode, or incidents therein. Other episodes focused on mistakes of rookie, and sometimes more experienced, officers.
A memorable 1970 episode, "Elegy for a Pig," detailed Pete Malloy's earlier relationship with his best friend from the police academy (Officer Tom Porter, played by Mark Goddard), starting from the stormy night that Porter was killed in the line of duty, and going back to their shared experiences as LAPD cadets in the early 60's, before ending with Tom Porter's full-LAPD-honors funeral. Among some of the one-time-only features of this episode were that it used relatively lttle background music, especially over the opening credits (which included a voiceover by Jack Webb) and end credits. There was also no on-screen dialogue in the half-hour, episode, except for Pete Malloy's narration.
In later years (after the 1-A-12 patrol car switches from Plymouth Belvedere to AMC Matador), Reed completed his probationary period, and was granted regular LAPD Officer status, and Malloy was promoted to Field Training Officer ("Officer-3", ranking one step below Sergeant, with two chevrons/star patches on his shirt-sleeves).
In the latter part of the seventh and final season it is strongly implied that Malloy will become the Division's new Patrol Sergeant/Watch Commander, and Reed will attain Detective status, after a successful plainclothes stint in LAPD's Narcotics Division.

Presumed Dead
Originally aired: Tuesday October 26, 1976 on NBC
Captain Charlie Dobson, a naval flyer, has been shot done and presumed lost at sea. He has actually been picked by the Japanese and put through an intensive brainwashing program. He is taken by submarine to just off Vella La Cava. The Japanese tell him they are planting a val bag on the beach with explosives and timers for him to use at a later time. He is then placed in an inflatable raft at sea near Vella La Cava.
Gutterman and Anderson are flying towards a photo recon mission when they spot Dobson and call for the air-sea rescue to pick him up. They continue on to their target, a supposedly deserted island with an old Japanese airstrip. When they approach to shoot the pictures, they come under heavy fire from ground artillery.
Meanwhile, Dobson has been rescued and brought to Vella La Cava. The flight surgeon, Dr. Jerry Corgney, asks Pappy and the Black Sheep to meet Dobson. Pappy knows Dobson from their time in flight school and thinks that Dobson is acting strangely, although he chalks it up to Dobson's ordeal at sea.
Gutterman and Anderson return from their photo recon and check the pictures with Pappy. The airstrip still appears deserted, but Gutterman believes something must be going on there, because it is odd for the enemy to fiercely protect mere jungle. Pappy orders him to fly another photo recon there.
The Black Sheep have a celebration party that evening in the Sheep Pen for Dobson, but he appears uncomfortable and disoriented and leaves abruptly. Pappy goes after him and tries goading him into reacting, but Dobson continues to be aloof and strange. After Pappy leaves, Dobson heads to the beach to the hidden val bag and a radio, where he receives orders from the Japanese on what he is going to do.
Dobson tells the Doctor he wants to go to Espiritos Marcos to continue "his recovery," but the Doctor believes he needs to stay in the hospital on Vella La Cava. Pappy tries to help the Doctor with Dobson.
Gutterman, Anderson, French and Boyle fly the photo recon mission. Anderson and Boyle shoot photos while French and Gutterman fly high cover. Gutterman and French get into a dogfight with Zeros above the island, while Anderson and Boyle encounter heavy artillery fire from the ground.
Dobson again tries to talk the Doctor into letting him go to Espiritos Marcos, but the Doctor refuses, puts Dobson in a jeep and starts off to the hospital. The Doctor mentions he can't let Dobson go to Espiritos anyway, because there is some sort of restriction on flights and personnel that can enter there for the next 24 hours.
These new photos reveal a hidden airstrip full of heavy Japanese bombers with larger fuel tanks. After trying to contact Espiritos with this information, Pappy decides to just break the ban and fly into Espiritos. He and Gutterman then spot the Doctors jeep abandoned on the flight line. They ask Hutch if he knows where the Doctor is, but Hutch doesn't remember seeing the Doctor, only Dobson getting on the regular transport plane bound for Espiritos. The Doctor is then found badly beaten off to the side of the field.
Pappy, Gutterman and 3 other Black Sheep fly to Espiritos, where they are greeted on the airfield by Colonel Laird and some MPs. Laird informs them they violated a general shutdown of the island for a high level staff conference and will be arrested. Pappy convinces Laird bombers are targeting the island, then slips away with the Black Sheep searching for Dobson, who they believe is up to something connected with the staff conference.
Dobson meanwhile has been planting explosives and timers in the bomb shelters, just as the Japanese had brainwashed him to do.
Pappy and the Black Sheep find Dobson's empty val bag, although Gutterman finds and recognizes the explosive material in the bag. They realize Dobson may be targeting the staff conference and head for the bomb shelters. They find Dobson near the shelters and stop him, but realize that he has already planted some devices. Pappy and Gutterman fight their way past some guards to warn the various Generals and Admirals that they are in danger in the shelters. Everyone leaves in time, and as the last people evacuate, some of the set explosives detonate.
Dobson is taken into custody and sent back to the states "to be studied and deconstructed again."
This was the final episode of "Adam-12," where the first part of that series finale aired the previous week.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12
Episodes from Adam-12 and Dragnet have been used for training purposes by police academies in the United States, especially when teaching recruits correct handcuffing procedures, as the camera often zoomed in closely when the officers were in the act of handcuffing suspects. As was Jack Webb's practice, other minor facets of day-to-day police practices were also accurately portrayed, from hand signals used by officers to the methods used in field interviews, and even such minor details as routinely locking the doors of the patrol car before leaving it unattended to interview victims or witnesses.
A 1976 doctoral study by Joseph S. Coppolino at New York University concluded that police officers, peace officers and civilians all perceived the portrayals on Adam-12 as realistically reflecting police work. However, the trend between TV and reality sometimes went in reverse. For example, Coppolino noted in his thesis that while it was not customary for police officers to remove their hats while in the patrol car at the time the series began, after Adam-12 aired for a while, this became the habit of most officers. This could be seen as evidence of Marshall McLuhan's media theory that "we create it, then it creates us."

109:41:28 Aldrin: Okay. Now I want to back up and partially close the hatch. (Long Pause) Making sure not to lock it on my way out.
109:41:53 Armstrong: (Laughs) A particularly good thought.
[The hatch can be opened from the outside, if necessary. The reason for almost closing the hatch is, I believe, to prevent radiative cooling of the cabin. Neither Neil or Buzz remembered any specific reason.]
[Armstrong (straight-faced) - "To avoid having somebody say 'Were you born in a barn?'"]
My first "memories," in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory, are of living in a house that Homer Burgess had been using as a barn. I can still "remember" something about a door that Thedia used as a kitchen counter, which is trivial, but yet seems important to note.
There are several scenes I can visualize in that house. One is of the sunlight streaming in through a door in the kitchen, which I guess was because that was the door Thedia was using as the kitchen counter. Another was of my father, Joseph, stepping on my toes as I was standing behind him as he was kissing my mother goodbye as he went to work. Another was of when we were moving out and the details seem trivial.

And when I was writing about Jack London's "To Build A Fire" a while back, does that represent my survival on Callisto? Do I have "memories" of reading that story when I was young because those "memories" are a metaphor for when I figured how to survive on Callisto at Jupiter where the character in London's story did not know how to survive?

Chechaquo
This is an excerpt from To Build A Fire that made an impression with me early on and has felt especially relevant for the past few years:
But all this--the mysterious, far-reaching hairline trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all--made no impression on the man. It was not because he was long used to it. He was a new-comer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination. He was quick and alert in the things of life, but only in the things, and not in the significances. Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty odd degrees of frost. Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe. Fifty degrees below zero stood for a bite of frost that hurt and that must be guarded against by the use of mittens, ear-flaps, warm moccasins, and thick socks. Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero. That there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innsbruck
Innsbruck is a city in western Austria, and the capital of the federal state of Tyrol. It is located in the Inn valley at the junction with the Wipptal (Sill River) which provides access to the Brennerpass, some 30 km south of Innsbruck. Located in the broad valley between high mountains, the Nordkette (Hafelekar, 2,334 m) in the north, Patscherkofel (2,246 m) and Serles (2,718 m) in the south, it is an internationally renowned winter sports centre. The name translated means the bridge over the Inn (Brücke=bridge)
Earliest traces suggest initial inhabitation in the early Stone Age. Pre-Roman place names show that the area has been populated continuously. In the 4th Century the Romans established the army station Veldidena (the name survives in todays urban district Wilten) to protect the economically important commercial road from Verona-Brenner-Augsburg. This road was destroyed during the Völkerwanderung in the 4th century. The first mention of Innsbruck dates back to 1187 (Oeni Pontum or oeni pons which is Latin for bridge (pons) over the inn (oenus)), which was an important crossing point over the river Inn. The city's seal and coat of arms show a bird's-eye view of the Inn bridge, a design used since 1267. The route over the Brenner Pass was then a major transport and communications link between the north and the south, and the easiest route across the Alps. The revenues generated by serving as a transit station enabled the city to flourish.
Innsbruck became the capital of all Tyrol in 1429 and later in 15th century the city became a centre of European politics and culture as emperor Maximilian I moved the imperial court to Innsbruck in the 1490s.
The movie premiered on Friday, 10/1/1993. The following Wednesday, 10/6/1993, I was 34.59 years old. I have been thinking that I was on the gold-medal winning Canada bobsled team at the 1964 Innsbruck, although my first gold medal was the Luge and I am assuming that I raced under the guise of the unified German Olympic team. I don't actually remember any of that in the conventional sense but I assume I have these thoughts for a reason.
I was only 4.9 years old when that Innsbruck Olympics occurred, but thoughts have occurred to me that by the time I was 5 years old, I already had the mental capactity of a 20 year old. I don't remember that, but the thoughts occur to me. Other thoughts that the doctors thought I was autistic for a couple years, but then they realized I was highly intelligent for my age. I believe it was my performance in this Olympic event that got me into the space program. I don't remember any of that though and it feels as though I am just speculating.

Cool Runnings (1993) .... Irving 'Irv' Blitzer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Runnings
Release date(s) October 1, 1993
Cool Runnings is a 1993 comedy film directed by Jon Turteltaub. It is loosely based on the exploits of the Jamaican Bobsled Team at Calgary, Alberta in the 1988 Winter Olympics. It stars Leon Robinson, Doug E. Doug, Malik Yoba, Rawle D. Lewis and John Candy. It is currently out on DVD.
Irving Blitzer (Candy) is an American bobsled double gold medallist at the 1968 Winter Olympics, who finished first in two events again in 1972 but was disqualified for cheating and retired in disgrace to Jamaica, where he leads a destitute life as a bookie. He is approached by top 100 m runner Derice Bannock (Leon) and two fellow sprinters (Yoba and Lewis), who had all failed to qualify for the 1988 Summer Olympics when Lewis tripped at the trials, and a pushcart driving champion Sanka (Doug), who all wish to use his previous experience as a coach in order to compete in the Winter Olympics as bobsledders.
The first half of the movie centers on Jamaica and assembling and training the team. After Blizter is convinced to coach the team, the three months of practice begins, initially resulting in embarrassment. However, the four men get used to the sport and make their way to Calgary and the Olympics.
The second half of the movie is the drama of the Olympics, and the fish-out-of-water scenario of the laid-back tropical Jamaicans in both the white-dominated sport and the cold of Calgary winter. The Jamaicans' first day on the track results in, once more, embarrassment, and a last-place finish. The second day would prove better; the Jamaican team finished with an incredible time and put themselves in eighth position. For the first half of the final day's race it looked as though they would break the world bobsled speed record, until tragedy struck; their rickety sled (an old practice sled Blitzer acquired from the US team) fell apart towards the end of their run, leaving them mere meters short of the finish line. However, the team lifted their sled up and walked across the finish line to rousing applause from onlookers, even antagonists such as Junior's father (who proudly bears his a Jamaican bobsled team T-shirt beneath his jacket), Josef Grull (East German driver who had ridiculed the Jamaicans constantly) and one of the members of the Olympic alliance. The team, at the end, feels accomplished enough to return in four years to the next winter Olympics, which they did, though neither they, nor any other team in the world, has ever come close to matching the run in which their sled fell apart.
I found it curious that the guy listed as the gold medalist for the Luge event during the 1964 Winter Olympics was 23.59 years old on 1/29/1964, the first day of that event. I recognize that I use '23' as another method to express '33.' The reason is that '23' is a notion for two 3's, or '3-3." I don't know for certain if this means I raced under his name on the Luge course and subsequently won the gold medal myself, but the thoughts linger. There is also the curious connection of the movie "Cool Runnings" to this Olympic event. He also has the same first name as me. Maybe he is a stand-in for me in all regards concerning Olympic activities, or he is an Olympic athlete himself that I substituted for. I don't know. But I am quite certain this is all why I started seeing chatter on a triathlon internet forum back in 2002 about racers competing under other people's names.
Another problem with understanding Thomas Kohler is that he won gold medals in the 1968 Olympics and the German teams were not unified in 1968 as they were in 1964. I doubt I raced for the East German team. That is crazy. I guess I could have though. I don't know. But maybe that wasn't me. He didn't win the gold medal in the Luge singles. It was Schmid with the Austrian team and Kohler got the silver in the singles. Kohler did get the gold in the doubles. I've seen Manfred Schmid's birthdate show up recently but I can't remember where now. According to information I found on the internet, he was 23 years, 35 weeks, old when the 1968 Winter Olympic began. Not sure of that means anything relevant to me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_K%C3%B6hler
Thomas Köhler (born June 25, 1940) was an East German luger who competed during the 1960s. He won three Winter Olympic medals in men's luge with two golds (Singles: 1964, Doubles: 1968) and one silver (Singles: 1968).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_Schmid
Manfred Schmid (born June 6, 1944) was an Austrian luger who competed from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s. Competing in four Winter Olympics, he won two medals at Grenoble in 1968 with a gold in the men's singles event and a silver in the men's doubles event.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Winter_Olympics
The 1964 Winter Olympics, officially known as the IX Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in Innsbruck, Austria, from January 29 to February 9, 1964. The games included 1091 athletes from 36 nations, and the Olympic Torch was carried by Joseph Rieder, [1] a former alpine skier who had participated in the 1956 Winter Olympics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Winter_Olympics
The 1968 Winter Olympics, officially known as the X Olympic Winter Games, were celebrated in 1968 Grenoble, France and opened on February 6. Thirty-seven countries participated. Norway won the most medals, the first time a country other than the USSR had done so since the USSR first entered the Winter Games in 1956.
The date 2/5/1964 shows up again here with the second actor who portrayed "Dr. Zee." I think he was actually the first one that series before he was replaced with Stuart, probably because his name was similar to Patrick Stewart. I think it was the movie "Cool Runnings" where I found the date 2/5/1964. My theory is that it has something to do with my participation in the 1964 Winter Olympics at Innsbruck. The date range for that event was 1/29/1964 to 2/9/1964. I would imagine that this casting selection was made to specifically point to the date 2/5/1964, where the movie "Cool Runnings" might have just been to get within that date range. Or so I assume. I believe I made these casting choices, but I don't actually remember any of it. This character "Dr. Zee" is important to my real identity, though, as I believe it has a direct bearing on my life, although I can't remember any specifics.

Robbie Rist
Date of Birth: 4 April 1964
"Galactica 1980" .... Dr. Zee (3 episodes, 1980)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Zee
Doctor Zee was a recurring character in the short lived science fiction series Galactica 1980.
The role of Doctor Zee was portrayed by two actors. In the first three hours of Galactica 1980, child actor Robbie Rist, known also as the Cousin Oliver in the Brady Bunch, played Zee. Rist appeared in Galactica Discovers Earth Parts 1 through 3.
Later, when Galactica 1980 was picked up as a continuing series, another young actor named Patrick Stuart took on the role. Stuart appeared in the subsequent episodes including Superscouts parts 1 and 2, Spaceball, Space Croppers, The Night the Cylons Landed parts 1 and 2 and The Return of Starbuck.
Doctor Zee is a child prodigy of about 12 years of age, and appears to be the most intelligent being in the fleet. He was born during the period of time between the time of the original Battlestar Galactica series, and when the Galactica found Earth - roughly around 1968. His origin is not explained at the start of the series, but he is soon introduced as a scientific wiz who has great influence on Commander Adama and the Council of the Twelve.
It is Zee who convinces Adama not to attempt contact with humanity, as the nations of Earth are not unified and are ill equipped to resist the Cylons should they follow the Fleet to the Solar System.
Zee is also responsible for creating most of the gizmos that are used throughout the series. Zee is the mind behind the invisibility screen, as well as the method of time travel first employed by the renegade Xavier. Zee is an expert on any topic he is consulted on, including sociology, history and agriculture. Later in the series he creates an anti-gravity craft that resembles a UFO (Space Croppers)
Not everyone in the Fleet is comfortable with so much authority having been given to a boy, and Xavier expressed this view from time to time.
At the end of the series in The Return of Starbuck, we finally learn the origin of Doctor Zee. He is the godson of Lieutenant Starbuck and was born on a planet where Starbuck was stranded years ago. While on that remote planet, Starbuck was visited by Angela, who may have been from the race that created the Ship of Lights previously seen on the original series in War of the Gods. (This race was never named onscreen, but were referred to in the scripts as the Seraphs) Angela gave birth to Zee, and Starbuck sent Angela and Zee off to rendezvous with the Fleet in a small escape pod that was too small to carry him. Angela herself disappeared, and did not accompany Zee all the way to the Fleet. Although Adama confirms this information, much of Zee's origin remains a mystery.
