Thanks! And don’t worry, I can’t imagine writing a LIBRARIANS book that was deadly serious!

Thanks! I’m having fun with it so far!

The show posted a picture of her as a Lady of the Lake on their Facebook page a few hours ago.

Love the inscription on the statue. And this is where I shamelessly point out that I’m currently hard at work on a LIBRARIANS tie-in novel:

That movie scared the hell out of my little sister when we were kids!

Let it be noted that Romero has also admitted that NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD was more or less inspired by Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel I AM LEGEND, which is pretty much the great-grandfather of the entire zombie apocalypse subgenre.

Granted, Matheson called his shambling undead hordes “vampires” instead of “zombies,”…

I devoured Chalker in my teens, and have fond memories of Anderson’s X-FILES novels—and I don’t care who knows it.

I remember taking a sci-fi class in high school, where we were assigned “The Island of Doctor Moreau” among other things. And I remember Bradbury short stories, like “There Shall Come Soft Rains,” showing up in my plain old English literature courses and textbooks.

Of course this was back in 70s, so who knows what high…

To be honest, I was mostly commenting on the headline: “Because All Movies are TV Shows Now.”

Just pointing out that TV has been raiding the movies for as long as I can remember, with mixed results.

Heck, VOYAGE TO BOTTOM OF THE SEA was based on a movie from a few years earlier—and that was back in the sixties.

To be fair, turning movies into TV shows is nothing new. Back in the day, we got PLANET OF THE APES, LOGAN’S RUN, BEYOND WESTWORLD, TOTAL RECALL, STARMAN, THE NET, FANTASTIC VOYAGE (as a Saturday morning cartoon), etc.

(How we never got a SOYLENT GREEN tv show I’ll never understand.)

And that’s not even counting…

Um, have you seen Liv? She’s not exactly a shambling, rotted cadaver.

Regarding Blaine’s grandfather, that was my take on it, too. Blaine planned to trick his dad into eating grandpa’s brain so that he would get a taste of grandpa’s pain . . ...

I don’t recall Dad ever ordering Blaine to kill Grandpa—and why would he? Grandpa was gathering dust in a nursing home.

Seriously, weren’t the Apes supposed to have taken over by now? And where are the robot boxers from that old “Twilight Zone” ep?

Very intrigued by the Jesse Quick reference. Will we be getting another speedster on the show?

I still remember that eruption. It rattled all the windows in my college dormitory, waking me from a sound sleep, and coated my grand-parent’s cabin in ash . . . ..

Woody technically plays “Jimmy Bond,” 007’s nebbishy nephew.

My favorite part of the first CASINO ROYALE is the “Mata Bond” sequence in East Berlin; I would’ve watched an entire movie about Bond’s superspy daughter. The bit with David Niven in Scotland, on the other hand, drags on interminably and is never as funny as it’s supposed to be..

Great soundtrack, too.

Was The Chronicle the show that had the “Swedish Mafia” meeting at Ikea?

My memory is fuzzy . . ..

One of my ALIAS novels begins with a dead body found in the Tar Pits.

Anybody else remember THE CHRONICLE on Sci-Fi? It was quirky sci-fi comedy about a tabloid newspaper along the lines of the Weekly World News, that covered weird paranormal stuff for real. In many ways, it anticipated the light-hearted fun of such later shows as EUREKA, WAREHOUSE 13, and THE LIBRARIANS. I always…
