Mine is to occasionally pick up THE WALL STREET JOURNAL. If nothing else, it's big business-friendly blather makes for a good instant cardio workout. And what makes it especially galling is that even a few years ago, before News Corp acquired the paper, I might not have been as incensed when I read it; since then,…

...sigh... Thanks

Oh, so it's YOU that I have to hunt down for giving me that line on the Sabers meeting the Rangers in the first round...

Let's see: That's eleven out of 22 where the writer assumes that the fall of civilization leads us back to a medieval existence. A good 50% in this survey.

There was the Sensor Girl AKA Princess Projectra storyline in LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES; was that it?

We've got to rock on to

There's an old Irish saying: "That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!"

Remind me not to introduce you to my bookie...

Three gets you four that *this* is the character that DC announces will be coming out of the closet this year...

Actually, I thought we saw evidence of the machine becoming sentient back a few episodes ago; forgive my foggy memory, it was the one that ended with the Machine doing a risk assessment as it watched the characters and concluding on its own based on what they were saying about the Machine that they were not to be…

This makes me want to find the old Dimension-Jumper and go to that universe where John Woo directed a Harry potter film...

In terms of where the vibe on this is from, the reviewer at the TIMES seems to feel it's earlier than later:

I can sort of see the point about LoH (the original adaptation) and grant that one, but the video doesn't work. This was released by Gary Newman in 1978, which is a little closer to the originally cited period. As for COSMOS, we could be on the fence on that one; it first airs in 1980, but had a long pre-production…

This is supposed to be 1983? Back then, you had people a film with characters on sets like these, it'd be considered dated. 1973, maybe 1976, you might have had something there, but not 1983, sorry.

Hey, we almost had a William Tell reboot, but...

The guns don't, but mass manufacture of the shell casings for modern automatic firearms does. With ball and musket, you just need a few square inches of cloth to hold your charge in. Plus, less moving parts with the potential of wear and tear; it's a lot easier to fix a flintlock out in the field than an automatic…

" To see these Space Age monuments tarnished and crumbling is kind of heart-breaking, but somehow their hope remains undimmed."

Didn't have a single scene from this series. Sorry, but if you don't respect the classics, I can't take you seriously...

"There probably have been some [female cult leaders], but there certainly weren't any that have been significantly documented or talked about. "

Well, that joke bombed; better strike it from the list...
