BOSIS? WOTIS?


I've already answered this one. Big Orange Swirly Thing In Space. Do try to keep up.

Now we see why it was easier for Libby to be dragged into a black hole...easier artwork.

You know, it reminds me of Professor Dowell's Head. This is the famous story by Alexander Belyaev. Like the title says, it was about a head severed from the body. Still, the head could speak and retained all memories.

Or the Stephen King Short story The Body in which the severed head of a pregnant woman keeps breathing...

Why does every cargo ship contain piles of barrels to be knocked over?

What's your strategy from this point, M'ater? I'm in other climes next week, so won't be back on Rewatch Detail for a fortnight.

The outer space version of Life on Mars cardboard boxes. Something to smash into.

I haven't read it either, though I probably should. I like Chronicles of Narnia.

Maybe a human pyramid would be more entertaining for that purpose.

I did say we'd continue with Dark Mater - skip another couple, watch E10 and eventually land on E13. What do the rest of you want to do?

I want to watch the soviet cartoon Mowglie. I think, you will like it.

I read the trilogy years back. Need to re read it.

I'd like to watch the Soviet Mowgli too - perhaps after episodes 10 and 13?

I won't be around next week - the tedious meeting I was supposed to be at this week has been postponed. I will catch up in the meantime.
 
M1795537OCVirn
So are you all OK with E10 next week?

I read them a long time ago, and I have a copy of Perelandra, which I remember as the best of them. I think THS is likely to have aged badly - there were bits of it that felt very much of its time even in the late 1980s.

Yes - fine for another couple of episodes at least.

So if it's just me, OSP and Taiellin next week, we could watch the whole thing and you'd never know. Anyway, I enjoyed all the comments...CB is going to be annoyed he didn't read them at the time. Hope you all have a great week. See you next time. Or Saturday, of course. Have a great time but behave yourself abroad, CB.
