You know, if you combined this with the Lone Ranger train chase set, you could recreate the complete trilogy!

I am totally not high enough to read this yet.  Back in a few.

It's fair to say that it was an early exposure to Scientology's blatant BS.

I enjoyed them when I was a teenager.  It's been probably 25 years since I read them.  Being largely satirical, I'm not sure how well the series has held up to time.

After L. Ron Hubbard died 3/4 of the way through his "Mission: Earth" series, Vol 8 came out with an editor's note to the effect that, "Hubbard had turned in the completed manuscripts for all 10 volumes before he died.  Nope, no one ghost-wrote the final volumes, no sirree."  Halfway through the book, the POV suddenly…

Supposedly, the show was already in the works before "Raiders of the Lost Ark" came out, though the timing couldn't have been better, or more suspicious.

"Forever Knight" was loads better than the truly awful Rick Springfield vehicle "Nick Knight" that the show is based upon.

My brain interpreted the headline as "Leslie Nielson to star in Leslie Nielson movie". 'Cause I guess deep down I'd rather see a zombie Leslie Nielson movie than a Liam Neeson movie.
