"the U.K. is falling behind the U.S. in communication between the arts and sciences"...?

I bow to your brilliance; capital idea!

Brilliant!

I have to give AMERICATHON its due: As silly as it was and how it looks at post-hydrocarbon society, it did hit on the nose how we'd ultimately come to deal with Vietnam.

Hear hear! Detective Ron Harris be perfect for the show:

Thing of it is, the opening of this piece reminded me of this bit from ADULT SWIM. I wonder if the bit Seth Greene did was the jumping off point for the faked trailer...?

Good point, that...

One possibility I'm not sure's been brought up: If attitudes towards sex with androids change enough to allow for humans to consider such services more easily, might sex tourism to some destinations diminish as other markets opt to open their own android brothels?

I'd take this from a slightly different perspective: The folks that can afford to be skinny, because they can get fresh veggies and fruit regularly and aren't forced to make most of their meals out of visits to fast food places, are the modern analog to the rounded folks from the time these originally were painted. …

My worst fear: The startling truth they reveal about the Spider-Man mythos' key player is that this individual (fill in the blank here) is actually Arachnae, which they throw in to try and close down Julie Taymor's lawsuit...

The one that comes immediately to mind is DARK SHADOWS; the series was only suggesting that things were *possibly* spooky before the ABC suits told them that they were on the bubble, at which point they offered a role to Jonathan Frid, pulled out the control rods and watched things actually go up from there...

It's not too late to bring up THE INVADERS, is it?

If you go back and look at it, the woods flashback is bookended by a POV from a traffic camera that looks at the roadside where the incident takes place.

My only semi-real gripe is the "camera back in time" trick for flashbacks. On occasion, they give us a piece of history where the machine goes back a few years, say to 2007 or 2004, to give us some sense of history for the characters and make us think that the machine/algorithm/narrative trick somehow had been…

She was shocked when the mask came down, showing his true visage. The reaction that washed over her was visceral and immediate as she blurted forth:

This is SOP for the folks at Paramount Licensing. The same thinking that brought an abrupt end to the RPG licensing arrangement they had with FASA; rumor at the time was that someone above the gaming liaison looked at their module for the Orions and flipped about it, which set the tenor for all interactions between…

Are you *sure* this one is from a con? I seem to remember these two opening for the New York Dolls when they did a set at the Little Hippodrome...

My vote's for something else: First contact with another life form.

If they did do a rip-off of IMMORTALS/CLASH OF THE TITANS, three gets you five it'd end being wayy-y-y-y to close to comfort along the line of the Percy Jackson series...

Oh, you saw that episode of MORK & MINDY too, huh...?
