"Le Maitre" = "The Master"

Einstein was born there, but the fact is barely acknowledged there. He isn't mentioned in the Ulm historical museum, and there is just a small ugly monument where his birth house once stood.
Ulm is also the highest navigable point on the Danube and has the highest church spire, but I first heard of it from Monty Python.

What "lower class" characters are you referring to? Lawndale was clearly a wealthy suburb.

"I don't get it. If BC's a cave man, how can he celebrate Ash Wednesday?"

Who stole their technology? What does that mean?

Did they actually name her "Romana" or "Romanadvoratrelundar"?

That's the kind of comment I would expect from a "Tom".

I think Remembrance is too continuity heavy. It would be better to at least watch Genesis before.

They already tried with "Infinity", and it was quite disappointing.

I've never heard that before. It seems unlikely that a mathematician would have a lot of chemicals in his apartment.

I discovered SCTV when I was 8 and instantly loved it. The only way that I could stay up and watch it was by sleeping over at my friend's house.
I suppose that I didn't really understand much, but the 3D House of Pancakes made a strong impression on me.

I think "Do nothing. It is done." is pretty far from a standard resolution of the story.

According to the DVD info-text, the last bit wasn't in the script.

I'd always thought that it was similar to Dark Star, but I hadn't thought about it being deliberate before.

Adams wasn't involved in this script.

It's probably more than 20 years since I watched Traken. Am I correct in remembering an opening narration?

They are both in a very particular category of stories that take place in a circumscribed environment with very unusual properties. This type of story gets away from the limitations of realism.

I have long said that my 3 favorite stories were Kinda, Warrior's Gate, and The Face of Evil. The first 2 have now been covered here, so I propose the last one. It's probably not a popular choice, but it has some great concepts, total insanity, and a very cynical take on religion.

The monochrome gardens were the result of budget limitations. However, this is far more surreal than location footage would have been.

The DVD extras were quite interesting, particularly the one about the director, Paul Joyce. He wanted to make things more cinematic, and ran into a lot of resistance from Barry Letts (who was supervising novice producer John Nathan-Turner).
