That's always been my feeling.  I point it out since it was really my parents constantly playing songs like "Dreamer" and "The Logical Song" that got me into prog and Rush.

I hate to be a "what about…?" person, but is Supertramp not considered prog rock anymore (particularly the early stuff)?

I really enjoyed the last two MasterChef seasons/cycles, but Hell's Kitchen annoys me since they always pack the cast with unskilled idiots who are there to provoke yelling.  With MasterChef, once we get through the auditions, most of the cooks seem to know what they are doing, which I tend to find more entertaining.

I don't know…Lifeforce was on at 4am the other day, and my god is that one terrible movie.

I bought and read Reamde finally and quite enjoyed it (although the constant recital of gun stats and technical details bored me to tears).  Like many others here, graduation + unemployment means I have plenty of reading time now, I'm thinking of starting in on The Baroque Cycle this week.

I was at GenCon right after it came out and there were 5 or 6 people dressed up that way for the costume contest, which was fun, but having them surround you was a bit disturbing.

It's been a few years since I listened to any of their albums in full, but I will have to do that sometime.

I'm not sure I get the love for Underworld.  The use in Trainspotting was great, but I just don't get the love otherwise.

I'm not as into electronica as I used to be, but Exit Planet Dust is still on heavy rotation for me for when I go running, and Further was great.

Light's Out is one of my favorites.

The Inner Sanctum book sounds interesting.  That was a good series, but I don't recall any episodes that could beat Lights Out; as a child, I found Arch Oboler's stories highly disturbing.

I have many fond memories of playing the Perils of Rosella back in 89/90.  I remember getting stuck at one point and getting a roll of butcher's paper in order to draw a massive map in order to try and figure out how to proceed (you had to get into the witch's skull house and get it to change from day to night or…

I'm not saying that there are not recurring characters/gags, but there are no more than in the Red Sea Sharks or any of the other later adventures.  But you are arguing that it is a direct sequel to The Broken Ear, which I cannot agree with.

Well…I'm not bothered by the fact that he edited the Shooting Star after WWII to minimize the jewish/american villains and the jewish moneylender characters.  My understanding was that he regretted being pressured into that and was never pro-Nazi.

It's not really that much of a follow up to either story though…by that logic you would need to read The Broken Ear, The Crystal Balls, and The Red Sea Sharks all beforehand to really see the rise, fall, and rise of Alcazar.
