That was terrific!

“The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh,” unedited, pretty please.

I remember reading the novelization of PHASE IV as a kid.  Not sure if I ever actually saw the movie. 

I admit I briefly wondered if Alex and Miss Teschbacher (spelling?) were going to pair up . . ...

EDIT: Oops. For some reason, I got my threads mixed up. Thought we were talking about THE FLY, not LET ME IN.

How the hell do you delete a post anyway? I couldn’t figure out how to do it using the edit function.

I prefer the old Vincent Price version (“Help meeeeeee!”), but recognize that I’m in the minority there.  Nostalgia is a major factor here:  I grew up on the Price version, so it will always be THE FLY to me. 

The remake is very well-crafted, I’ll concede, but I found it kinda gross and depressing the first and only…

I would also nominate LET ME IN, the Hammer Films remake of LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. 

Trivia: I liked the throwaway reference to Brainy’s friend “Val,” who is presumably his fellow Val Armorr, aka Karate Kid.

Gotta wonder, though:  What’s up with that Russian Supergirl double?  Is that shoe EVER going to drop?

Wow!  And apparently my girlfriend is in on the joke, too!

I never could get the hang of these things . .....

What? They forgot Paula the Ape Woman? How dare they?

Seriously, there really was a lesser-known Universal monsters series about an ape who surgically transformed into a beautiful woman—and who tends to regress whenever she gets angry or sexually frustrated.

Sadly, the movies are pretty terrible and not nearly as fun…

Wait. Chelsea Handler is co-producing a tv series about Dazzler and Tigra?

That is not a sentence I ever expected to write.  

That’s me.  Thanks for the kind words.  (And dare I mention I have a new Trek book coming out this summer.?)

FYI:  Christopher Bennett has a novel coming out shortly about Kirk’s first command, before the Enterprise.

The books and comics have gotten a fair amount of mileage out of both April and Pike over the years. (Full disclosure: I’ve written a book or two about both.)

Funny that they’re remaking the first one. I always though the third one,

The TOS cast ended up aging much differently than they did in “The Deadly Years” as well. :)

Amen. Fandom would be a happier place if folks could just get over their fixed ideas of how things ares “supposed” to be and just accept new variations on their terms.

Hawkgirl was the first thought that popped into my mind, too.

Raises hand.  Works for me.
