"Duck Amuck" homage?! :DDD

@GGbreizh Do you mean jwfan.com or another site? I checked the former, and the citation trail just leads back to the same article everyone else is citing. Sorry, I'm really not trying to be tiresome or pedantic here, I really just want to know. Perhaps a kind person who has the CD already can ...

This was the only show my sister and I were allowed to watch on school nights, allegedly because it was educational, but really because my Dad was also a huge Tintin fan -- we still have his incredibly battered (and colored on...) '50s copies of Red Rackham's Treasure and Explorers on the Moon.

@SerahMusic While I agree that the whole score shouldn't be judged from the intro, I can understand why people are disappointed. This theme emphasizes the mystery-solving aspects of the books above the action-adventure aspects, which is what the books are more widely known for and what the theme ...

Haunted Mask -- it's the only one I ever read or saw the TV show for

*wild applause*

@BlackCanary87 *sigh* Clearly I should be moving this to the lj community. Has anyone considered the possibility that the Yeerks were so aggressive because their early hosts were the Gedds, who *were* barely sapient?

OMG, so true! Ah, Wellesley...

I think my favorite bit is about Republicans at Wellesley. And if Kazanjian isn't running a group like that it's only because he hasn't thought of it yet. Or because CPLA hasn't imploded yet.

Great job!

@l23722 Um...no -- my Portie had very similar coloring to the dogs in the video and was considered a show quality dog. Parti-colored Porties are rarer than the mostly black ones. I've also met chocolate and white parti-colored Porties. All white is probably the rarest coloring, and the owner o...

Um...

Wow. Just...wow.

@TahirK1189 No, time travel can be written well, but you pretty much have to make it a stable time loop. A Very Potter Sequel is the best example I can think of off the top of my head.

Since I was a biochemistry major, along as we're nitpicking, I might as well point out to Tobias that evolution doesn't really work that way -- but in fairness to him, everyone who hasn't taken an intense evolutionary biology course (or read a lot of Richard Dawkins in their spare time) thinks th...

I'm a little surprised you said this book didn't have any significant character moments. Admittedly, it's been more than a year since my last reread, but I always remembered it as a really good Rachel book. IIRC, it's the first one to establish her internal conflict between her own fear, and th...
