I think Ian Levine finished his animated version, but there's some sort of disagreement with the BBC about its release.

There is plenty of dreck in season 17, but I do have a certain fondness for "Creature From the Pit".  It's so completely bonkers, I can't help but enjoy it.  K-9 gets attacked by sentient tumbleweeds, Lady Adastra is a leather-clad sexpot of the first order, there's a marauding band of savage thieves in fur, and it's…

Does anyone else remember a series of MTV bumpers with Rick Gomez as a guy that keeps getting more and more agitated?  The only one I remember in particular had him unable to choose between the pork chop parmesan and Captain Ahab's Deep Fried Tuna Chunks.

The accents.

Bob & Doug McKenzie doing "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is one of a handful of Xmas songs I can tolerate.

Fucking html tags. That wasn't supposed to look like the last paragraph of a Lovecraft story.

A lot of the EC artists had great individual covers, and some, like Craig and Kurtzman, were consistently good, but George Evans never</n> drew a bad cover for EC.  I think he's probably the most underrated artist in the entire EC stable.

Indeed.  In fact, interview as many of the EC/early Mad guys as you can.  They aren't getting any younger.

"Foul Play" is a good one, and it made enough of an impression on my dad that he vividly remembered it from when he was a kid in the early 50s.  Another one that sticks out for me is "Taint the Meat, It's the Humanity" (Tales From The Crypt #32), but by far my favorite Jack Davis EC story is "Cold Cuts" from Shock…

There was a lot of solid stuff this year from the likes of Absu, Svarttjern, Tsjuder, Svartsyn, Taake, etc., but two that really stood out for me, along with Oranssi Pazuzu and Altar of Plagues were:

It wasn't a secret webpage.  Someone just looked at the page source of the regular Survivor site and deduced the URLs CBS was using for the pictures of contestants as they were eliminated.  CBS was clever, though, and planted some misinformation.

I don't care about these staffers' opinions.  I want to know what the staffer with "Les Trésors de Satan" as an avatar liked.

There's plenty of interesting, easy to dramatize stuff in WWI.  Mons, the Battle of the Marne, the Battle of the Frontiers, Second Ypres (think of the possibilities of the first gas attack on the French colonials and the Canadians stepping into the breach, protected only by piss-soaked rags), Verdun, the first day on…

Well, if I were in charge of the Signal Corps film section, I'd send all my color cameras and film to the PTO too.  Then I'd keep all the footage of topless native girls for myself.

What's on H8 "The Ocho" tonight?  Ooh, it's "The Renault FT light tank in the Rif War".  Must-see TV!

Yes, dammit.  Where's my WWI equivalent of BoB?

The best US tank of the war was the m26 Pershing.  Too bad only a handful made it into combat.

I once rode in an m48 Patton that one of my dad's friends borrowed from the guard armory and drove to the house on city streets.

The first episode really has a great, eerie feel to it.  Like the Tardis dropped into an episode of "The Twilight Zone".

Troughton is my second-favorite doctor, but I always find it a little depressing to watch this era.  So much of what exists is so brilliant that it's doubly cruel that so much is missing.
