Pretty sure the critter behind George J. wearing all purple is a woman. Not a great beauty, to be sure, but the single-collar in white was emblematic of female characters, like Jane Jetson and her daughter, Judy.

More than just far-fetched ... he has been shown in the ETO, assisting Captain America against the Red Skull. I know he gets around, but to be active in both theaters is unlikely, to say the least.

Yeah, I still have the [almost] complete Age of Apocalypse series in a box somewhere. It was wonderful writing, and had some interesting twists on the characters: Dark Beast, Magneto and Rogue as husband and wife and leaders of a team that included Sabertooth and Wildchild, Sunfire and the first iteration of a…

Yeah, back during the "Dark Phoenix" saga in X-Men in the 80s, Jean Grey had the "dark side" of her personality unleashed (as a result of the machinations of the Hellfire Club) and in her wilder state, found similarities and attraction to the feral side of Logan's personality, as opposed to her hero-worship love for…

Crucifix is from the Latin crucis fixus, meaning [one] affixed to a cross. The "one" is any unfortunate hung from the slow execution tree, but has come to mean Esa Bin Iosef, that young rabbi who so pissed off the Pharisees a few thousand years ago and got himself tried for treason.
Small fact: being tied to the cross…

Not, strictly speaking, a "car," but a Herkimer Battle Jitney had class.

After the big scene where the Chariot is caught in a newly-formed ocean and the Robinsons figure out that the planet they are on has a shockingly variable climate, it becomes very hit-or-miss.

Yes, a fantastic computer and a good soldier ... and a terrible, terrible person.

HAL was not a good computer. HAL was a fantastic, amazing, superlative computer. HAL just had very very poor judgement and his prioritizing of mission parameters was faulty. And therein lies the rub ... those who program are frequently (so frequently it has become a stock joke) socially inept and amoral geeks. To…

" at least one reveals a most familiar yet unexpected coat, for instance."

You forgot to mention that in addition to Mona the Monkey, this movie also featured (briefly) ADAM WEST-TVs BATMAN!

Rob, What about the "Great Vegetable Rebellion" episode of Lost in Space? Absolutely the worst episode ever of a show that started out as "hard" sci-fi.

York york york.

I agree completely.

I was curious as to how the netsuke related to the obi, or sash, and the case strap to which it is attached. I found this image.

Monsters, Jim. Monsters from the ID!

Since I live in Savannah, I concur. This is where you go if you are looking for lost nukes.

100% agree.
I was in a fairly serious m/c accident a few years ago and shattered my Bell helmet on the pavement. I suffered a separated shoulder and some kidney damage from the fall, but my brain (thankfully) was not injured, and I continue to enjoy full(ish) faculties.

Actually, I ran a newspaper (a small town weekly) from 1993-2002, and it was incredibly fun.
Also dang near killed me slap daid, as it required 7-day workweeks, and 20-hour workday schedules with no vacations for nearly a decade.

What do you mean, "I forgot the safe word."?
