Frank Frink is one of the very few character names held over from the 1962 Dick novel. (Juliana in the novel is his ex-wife Juliana Frink, and the two never share any scenes.)

As the series diverges more and more from Dick's 1962 novel, it's interesting that the series' writers are continuing to introduce ideas from later Dick novels. Switching "The Grasshopper Lies Heavy" to film brought in the idea of divergent, manipulated, historical documentary films from The Penultimate Truth; now…

The Los Angeles Times has an essay about her writing career, by John Scalzi.

Hypothesis: "Can You Read My Mind?" wouldn't have been crap if they'd let her sing it, rather than (as the end credits say) "perform" it.

That would be sad, if E.T. were his best.

I just read all the season 2 episode synopses at EW.com, and (as expected) the divergence from the book is becoming more and more extreme, and the story increasingly confused. I suppose what's been done here is defensible in terms of "This is what you have to do in order to create a continuing series" and also as a…

In that case, you really should see it on a larger screen with decent speakers sometime. I made sure to acquire the DVD when it first came out, and I don't collect that many.

Don't neglect The Out-of-Towners.

But there are Dick novels in which the "what is reality?" question turns out to be one group of humans fooling another, propaganda-wise - for example, The Penultimate Truth (1964), which seems to be one of the source novels for the Amazon Man in the High Castle adaptation because of the centrality of manipulated…

You do know there are, or were, more than one version of Skylarking? Many of the songs are presented as joined pairs, one of which originally was "Dear God"/"Dying", but I've seen one version of the album where "Dear God" doesn't appear at all (replaced by "Mermaid Smiled") and another where "Dear God" does appear but…

A case can be made for Star Trek VI as one of the better action movies of 1991. Seriously.

Fixed - thanks.

Actually, lap belts weren't even standard equipment yet. (And the headline should be corrected to "Bel Air" as in the story.)

Interesting. But was either one a "musical comedy" in the 1950s-60s sense?

If there are two of them, it would be "oznayim", no?

Well, there have already been many comedic takes on the Holmes characters, although perhaps none with singing…

Sure, if Poe had written it. Peter Pan as Hop-Frog?

Haven't there already been more than enough Sherlock Holmes adaptations - by at least an order of magnitude - to last humankind for decades to come? If we cannot have original stories and characters, why not adapt something that hasn't been adapted before, or at least not in the past 50 years? Perhaps something by E.…

I hope this is as good as I've heard, and I especially hope that I like the music.

Well, now that you mention it, when viewership numbers fail to be great, we can presume that CBS will pay a bundle to one or another Good Wife star for a guest appearance and another bundle to promote it.
