I found this message scrawled on a scrap of paper slipped under my door this morning: "AS LOYAL BIZARRO ME TAKE GREAT ON-FENCE AT TITLE OF TODAY'S LOUSY KOMIKAL STRIP. BIZARRO SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY AM NOTHING LIKE DEPICTED-- IT TAKE PLACE IN NORTH, AND INVOLVE HOSPITAL. ME INSIST YOU NOT CHANGE HIGHL...

T,<P>Congratulations! Your and Jason's move to Keenspot is long overdue and richly deserved.<P>Although when I saw that "on SciFi.com" thing, for a moment I had the fleeting hope that SciFi had licensed FANS to appear on their site...<P>-- Nathan

... that last panel in Monday's strip.<P>Is what I think is about to happen, about to happen?<P>I predict this one's gonna get reeeeeal ugly.<P>Plus, T, I gotta say-- aren't there classier ways to make money than Alisin's little top ten list? It seemed so crass compared to the intelligence displayed...

T,<P>Hmmm. TV or not TV? I'd have to say: be very, very careful.<P><I>Smallville</I> is, in my opinion, neither faithful nor impressive. The episodes I've seen thus far reduce the extremely interesting potential of the series into some kind of sappy, wit-deprived <I>Clark The Kryptonite Slayer</I> r...

Wow. I didn't mean to create QUITE so big a ruckus. <P>I personally haven't read the Lord of the Rings because, well, I despise the fantasy genre in general. Something about the basic elements of most (and I stress, most) fantasy novels just strikes me as long-winded, fluffy and pretentious. (And ye...

(I preface my remarks by saying that it's entirely possible I'm the only guy on this board who has yet to read The Lord of the Rings.)<P>The latest storyline is, in every technical sense, awesome. T's script is full of clever jokes and gripping human moments (the scene with Rikk trying to pull the r...

Relax.<P>The major movie news sites, including dvdfile.com, have now picked up a USA Today article stating that the forthcoming DVD release of E.T. will include Spielberg's uber-PC, digitally edited "special edition," AND the original, unaltered version of the film. <P>The original will survive.<P>L...

Things I like about Enterprise:<P>- The production values. I have never seen a TV sci-fi show look *quite* this good. - The production design. The way the ship is laid out and designed indicates an immense amount of ingenious and elegant thought, and it's just so cool to see all the "old-fashioned" ...

Snuh?<P>I've never seen Bubblegum Crisis. But I have seen the first four eps of EVA. And while the very beginning of the first episode is cool with its eerie silence, and the fight scenes are beautifully done, I more often found myself howling with derisive laughter at all the weird, pretentious or ...

Sweet mother of mercy, NOOOOOOO! <P>You should sell that image to people in need of an appetite suppressant.<P>-- Nathan

Funny about Mink Car... I'm listening to "Cyclops Rock" as I type this. (=<P>I dunno if it's their best album overall, but I'd say a lot of the songs on it-- "Bangs," "Cyclops Rock," "Mr. Xcitement" and especially "Man It's So Loud In Here"-- are among the best they've ever recorded. It felt a littl...

"God and their rubber legs will protect [us]!"<P>Always nice to see someone who can be devoutly religious and still pragmatic. (=<P>-- Nathan

I work at a newspaper. It's my day off. When I was awakened at 10:15 to come into work, I thought it was a joke.<P>I'll say two things. First, I can assure y'all that as of the last time I'd heard, we don't know WHO perpetrated this. Pointing the finger at religious fundamentalists is jumping to con...

... the apparent return of the Girl Reading Under the Tree, who, it would see, is now reading in a bikini top (yowza) in the lower left hand corner of the page?<P>-- Nathan

Nah. I think Wish is right-- Shanna's got the itch for Will. Makes sense-- she wouldn't have gone for him yet out of respect for Kath. And out of all the Fans, he's arguably the most normal of the bunch.<P> I'm surprised to discover that Shanna is probably my favorite Fan. I think it's her keen anal...
