That’s why I said ‘new series’, lol.  Tom Baker’s the first Doctor I was exposed to.

Hey, they try hard to make sure that you have NO enjoyment in life.

The new series starting in 2005 was 13 and usually a Christmas Special.

Sadly, not unusual. We see it time after time. Season starts - you get into a groove, you want to see more... then-

Looks more like half, at most.

Yeah, delivering 50 pounds of chocolate might not work.  But light shit?  They’d have managed, even with range and weight limitations.

Yep, Amazon failed. Because of a labyrinth of rules and regulations. Technically, they could do it. Legally? Fuck no.  Nobody wants to give up their bit of power.  Bureaucrats gonna bureaucrat, and it’s a lot easier to say “No’ than “Yes”.

This isn’t the first time their ballot’s been fucked up. Or the second.

Historically accurate, this thing is not...

Well, I think you’re right - but I’m still hoping it could be fun. I mean, if nothing else me and my friends can pick it apart afterwards over beer and burgers.

Priorities. The Subway’s been working for a hundred years now. It obviously doesn’t need much in the way of maintenance or upkeep when that money can be used for FAR more important things.

The things that got me from the previews you probably didn’t notice.

“Code Three” by Rick Raphael is a look at a future in the same vein I’m kinda glad we didn’t exactly follow - though the guys on Jalopnik would have loved it.

Now that their only carrier’s got a hole in it, yeah. Though I suppose you COULD try to retrofit the supertankers with flight decks...

The thing about an invasion fleet (like would be needed if the Russians decided to try and establish a foothold on the West Coast somewhere) is that they’re rather massive. There’d be a LARGE number of ships and vehicles loading up and heading east, which would be very hard to hide. Though I suppose if you hollowed…

Back in the day you didn’t have the MMR vaccine. Smallpox, IIRC, wasn’t administered until you were around ten or so, or that’s when I got it in the ‘60s I think. But I had measles, mumps, chickenpox and german measles (rubella).  I made sure my son had HIS vaccines on schedule, and if there’s some way I could have…

Ya know, that’s a wild concept and it’d work - but it depends on scarcity. Get a few hundred pounds of moon rocks down, and watch the market price drop...

“If we put ‘Mars’ in the title, it’ll flop!”

Folks wanted their ashes scattered somewhere green. So... a spot off a trail in the Cohutta Wilderness area got them, my brother and I scattered them.

Really don’t know why they didn’t do the ‘John Carter’ movie as ‘John Carter of Mars’. Admittedly, Edgar Rice Burroughs isn’t quite as popular as he used to be a long time back, but it could have sparked an interest in the series, and there’s a LOT of material they could have mined.
