Definitely Ellison. There was an agreement in place that all showings of "The Terminator" would include the line "We wish to acknowledge the works of Harlan Ellison" in the credits, as part of a settlement.

There are two SciFi short stories, that immediately come to mind: Read this and imagine what kind of movie we would have gotten, if it was true to the source, rather than a vehicle for Keanu Reeves. In fact all of the stories in the anthology "Burning Chrome" are well worth reading. "Johnny...

Today I learned that the chemical that produces light, in bio-luminescent organisms, is called luciferan. Because of course it is.

(The Auburn giant crow took it. Though it was a french fry.)

All of you kids get off my lawn (61).

I managed to get hit by two cars and still couldn't get the job done. And I never crashed during 8 racing schools and dozens of track days. I clearly wasn't trying hard enough.

The company that I worked for briefly looked at making custom luggables, based on a case that was available from Taiwan. This was nascent LCD display tech (mono) and there really wasn't more than a fringe market for it.

My first PC compatible computer had 256K of RAM and two 360K floppy drives. It could run Word 1.0. I added an extra peripheral card with 384K of RAM and a 30 MB RLL hard drive. Had the best computer out of all my friends, because I was working for an importer ;)

On the upside a stopped clock with connectivity is likely digital, so would have no way to brag about being right if stopped.

That's pretty much why I gave up on motorcycles. Well, and the fact that my knees can't really handle racing posture and movement for more than a few laps anymore, let alone a protracted street ride. These days the things that we could get away with on the street, merely risking a couple of...

Thanks for that. This is the only version that I ever hard, as a kid.

Well it's not a total loss. Today I think that I learned where CCR got the opening guitar riff from, for "Susie Q", thanks to your mis-aimed post. EDIT - Though perhaps I should have said Dale Hawkins?

So the question becomes is Belinda just someone who was foreshadowed to The Doctor, or is she an unwitting tool of Mrs. Flood, and I think the answer to that is.. yes?

Presumably the Geneva HQ of the United Nations, who oversees UNIT.

I have a feeling that Conrad, ultimately, got exactly the opposite of what he deserved. I think that he's gotten power, after having been released, and will end up being a linchpin in what happened to Earth.

I was likening his breaking into UNIT with a gun to shattering the vial, but in retrospect you are correct.
