Imagen Calvun and Hobbe, but modarn.

So the name of the Doctor is Muad'Dib?

No idea who they are, but there's no way in hell I'm clicking on that.

So… having just watched Mulholland Dr., I may have developed a crippling fear of old people.
More substantial thoughts to follow (probably).

The fourth one really did a Number(s) on me.

Counterpoint: "The unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates (supposedly)

I lloathe them.

Seeing as how Lord and Miller are producing, it might be more appropriate to flip a bitch.

If he really was a time traveler, sure. As it is, he's probably aged out of the role.

Nice! I'm not really from Champaign, it just has the closest Amtrak station to my hometown (the bustling metropolis that is Farmer City)
