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

      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.


They're grounded, remember?

      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?



      Quote:
      The latter. Rhiannon was quite surprised too, I think.

    I should think so. Now I want to know what she imagined that key unlocked...


You'd have to ask her. I don't know.

    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?


The first scene of UT#360 is kind of an "I want" story, but with less singing crabs.

    [RoboCop] 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.


Only the first movie knew there was satire in there.
