I think it might be too weird as is. But if they keep the characters the same and simplify the plot, I will allow it.

That’s a good point, and I hope you’re right.

oh.

Yeah, like that.

Jake would love this show!

And my wife says Gordie’s brother’s going to come back to save the day!

Time for some real heresy: Stand by Me II: Revenge of Ray Brauer.

I kind of want Harry Potter SF. Come on, wizards haven’t apparated on the moon or Mars? There aren’t stories of Renaissance wizards fighting the dust-spells of the ancient Martian Curse-Lords? Showdowns in the crystal spell-domes of Venus? Quidditch in Saturn’s rings?

24. Jack Bauer time travels to millions of years in the future when the earth’s rotation has slowed down. President Robot Kennedy’s life is in danger. Jack has only one day to save the nation: 25. (Because, like, a day is longer.)

I take it all back.  Respect to your uncle.

Did your uncle even have the chutzpah to drive a Charisma?

Thanks. I enjoyed your reply.

Organic molecules, not organic matter. The former are the building blocks of life, while the latter is the stuff left over when life has departed.

Terminator:  Clippy

It’s all in the delivery. Listen: stick figure, stick figure, stick figure, elephant, spear and then.... FIRE!

No shi.

Fair point. I concede that the U.S. needs no help in any of the following:
