Today was the sort of day

When I argued that a scene depicting a certain sort of activity is not stage friendly, only to A: to realize almost immediately I was wrong and worse B: rediscover hours later I once wrote a scene depicting just that activity.

And one last thing before I go to bed

Remember Alien Worlds? I would not be surprised if the creators had Tom Corbett Space Cadet in mind when they created it:Captain Jon Graydon maps onto Tom, Captain Buddy Griff onto Roger and Moira Cassidy onto Dr. Dare. Same "doesn't the government have anyone else on call" dynamic, too.

A correction

From the Rithmatist:

Early North American explorers do say they happened across an occasional native on the isles. Indeed, many of the names of the islands and cities they bear come from such early reports. Once again, questions pile atop one another. Were these natives Azteks, or the remnants of some other culture? If some peoples had lived on the isles, as Aztek legends claim, what happened to the signs of their cities and towns?

I don't see what's so funny about

"I thought the light was flickering but it turned out I was just blinking."

Probably a "how high is up?" question

Assume one of those settled solar systems where propulsion is good but not miraculous (weeks or months to get around the inner system, months or years for the outer). Further assume a trait appears that is highly advantageous; I am thinking one that makes free fall or low gravity less harmful to humans. Assuming no organized efforts to spread the trait, how quickly would you expect it to spread through the general population?

On taking a closer look at the archive.org entries for Dimension X and X Minus One

I noticed the two sets don't overlap the way I thought they did. When X Minus One and Dimension X adapted the same story, did X Minus One just reuse the DX episode or did they remake it from scratch?
