Frankly, if you go after the COB performance on this show, it'd be like going after fish in a barrel with a tac-nuke. That's way too easy a target, and something you'd have to give some allowance for in order to allow the series to exist in the first place. As every genre show requires at least one "gimmie" (i.e.,…

OK, I ended up watching the pilot thanks to this summary of the third episode, figuring that if the show was going down, I should at least catch the first episode considering how good a set of notices it had.

Refereed by Lord Summerisle from THE WICKER MAN? If yes, get me a ticket for that card!

I wish I could say I was shocked and appalled to see an actor of Christopher Lee's caliber playing an evil malevolent force from beyond the stars, leading his forces in a plan of conquest involving lots of destruction and mayhem.

Part of me wonders how much of this project found its way into the development of the Avro Arrow; any connection whatsoever would be truly ironic, considering the development history of that project...

Having watched the film, I have to ask: Did the ghost of William Castle make a visit to Bloody Disgusting and showed them how he used to drum up business in the old days...?

Having watched the movie, suddenly Starro doesn't seem so silly anymore...

I agree that this is very much a Davies-era episode, but I don't think there's enough appreciation as to the role of the cubes.

I'd like to think that LAST RESORT might be worth it, save for its very tough initial time slot, Thursdays at 8/7 opposite BIG BANG THEORY, 30 ROCK and X FACTOR, two of which have some overlap with its potential audience. The only way this SSBN could blow the ballast tanks and surface with enough audience aboard is…

Oh Dear Lord Almighty; thanks for the link, because having now seen the totality of what went into that Scott McCloud-esque infinite panel just makes me marvel all the more...

If Fox wants me to do something like this, they need to allow me to end some of the other shows they had a hand in pulling the plug on before this. Let me know when they allow me to end LOST IN SPACE, THE TIME TUNNEL or LAND OF THE GIANTS, and once I do two of those, *then* maybe we'll justify trying to wrap this…

Actually, the Liberty head in that one was just in the movie posters. Shots of Liberty Island, which is the forward base where Snake gets his orders and implant, show the Statue to be in one piece as helicopters fly over her.

As long as you're going to show all this footage of suppositions about the Soviets blowing up the Statue of Liberty, you may as well throw in the first one, the footage that all of these people echo when they do their work:

Congrats to Charlie Jane for the win!

This crew you served with, Esther, could easily pass for professionals.

And this is really news how? Hell, *I* have an FBI file, and I've been published with an body of work close to 2.3% of Ray's output. As noted below, it'd be a bigger story if he didn't have a file; the only real interesting part is that Martin Berkeley was outed as a narc.

Would it have been better to see a lot more non-slave Leias there? Yes of course, but let's keep one thing in mind: This is Orlando in August, so for the sake of self-preservation, I could see why having as little to stifle you on as possible would be an attractive option...

This is turning into a tough week. First Joe Kubert, now Harry Harrison.

Talk about leaving this world with a bang...

Oh, I think I could imagine worse...
