Subj: I'm fine with anyone of any gender taking over if they're willing to do the paperwork instead of me.

Quote: It's quite worrying. Especially given not only who he is currently working for, but who he previouly interned with. Why, in some ways his mentor made him.It's always something with that Hood. Personally, I was hoping that young Aella would fall in with Sam, Mags and Griff. Quote: Quote:And we get a pay-off to the mysterious Key that she protected all those years. So my question is this: Was this always in the cards for the character, or did you get permission to tie up the lose ends of that story by folding her into Untold Tales? The latter. Rhiannon was quite surprised too, I think. I should think so. Now I want to know what she imagined that key unlocked... Quote: Quote:Fun to see the convergence of big bads, and especially to see Wilbur done in by Knifey. Quite a lot of double-crossing done in that showdown in the underpinnings of the PV. I liked how HH's plan was dashed by those pesky heroes at the last moment as well... it was not a happy day for any villains' long scheming goals. Well once monolithically-obsessive dreaming Space Rbot's goals, maybe. I have trouble conceiving of the motivations of giant robot space gods. I mean... have they tried crullers? What more do they really want out of life? Quote: Quote:Ah, I watched [Galavant]... it was fun. More than a bit of a Parodyverse bend to it. I'm amazed it got a second season but was very pleased it did. Yes, I enjoyed how they made fun of that fact within the show itself. Quote: Quote:After dropping the reference to it, I ended up downloading the cast recording to Hamilton and listening to it on my trip. Damn good stuff with a bunch of tunes that get stuck in your head. Plus, I learned some history, so that's a bonus. I may have to pursue that, then. If it's not blocked in your country, the entire broadway cast recording has been uploaded to YouTube (and surprisingly has stayed there for months, so apparently those in charge find it to be good advertising. Other videos from the show itself apparently rarely last more than a day before a copyright claim has them removed.) Hamilton: The complete Original Broadway Cast Recording Quote: Quote:I watched the attempted [RoboCop] reboot of that last year. I may have forgotten almost everything about it within 24 hours. It's odd to me that something that seemed like a sure-fire hit with the original could not produce any good follow-ups. It is possibly a property whose time has passed. Back in the day, cyborgs were pretty new SF ideas, apart from the Six Million Dollar Man. Now even Luke Skywalker has a robot hand. Dystopian-future controlling megacorps were also fresh. Now it's hard to find a future that's not dystopian and that doesn't have megacorps running it, except where those megacorps have already caused the zombie apocalypse. I recall reading way back when "Robocop 2" was in development that the original writers were not involved because they pitched an idea that the studio hated. As I recall, it would have seen Robocop injured and put in storage and not revived for a century or more, placing him in a completely different society. Perhaps they had the right idea for keeping it (and the satire of it) fresh after all. | |||||||
