The episode guide update for Trilogy, Part I (aka One Little Heart) is about
to be posted to ratv.  

And, just for the record, the only people who refer to the triolgy as 
Daughter of Sin are the braindead people NBC stuck in their promo department
for lack of a better place to put them.  Don't be fooled.  Despite it's
rather simplistic connotations, "Trilogy" is the title of the trilogy.
The episode guide will contain the alternate titles of each part (namely:
"One Little Heart"  (Part I), "For Your Love"  (Part II), and "The Last Door"
(Part III)).

I like that. It should run in the season where they do my favorite idea
for a ST:TNG.

They contact an alien race that has been isolated since the Enterprise
last visited them, years and years ago. The crew finds a "Cargo Cult"
type thing going on, with the leaders being direct descendants of
the "God who came from the sky", i.e. Kirk. The ruling class is all 
Kirk's bastard children and their offspring!!!
Kirk still seems to be the most virile member of the Federation...B}

Interesting Leap - Sam has to leap in as Einstien and has to

A couple of places that I can remember seeing her is in an adaptation of the

I don't know if anyone saw Sci-Fi Buzz on the SciFi Channel this weekend,
but they did an interview with Scott and the BGU (Bellisario Guy
Upstairs!).  Scott said several times that Alia and Zoey were from a
parallel world.  Now, it could be that he meant it in a very general sense
(parallel because they have everything that Sam and Al have) or more
specific (she is a mirror image of Sam).  BGU was very vague (not
suprisingly), so there was no confirmation of this.  The interview was
filmed during Trilogy I ('cause Scott was in a sheriff's uniform), so it
was pretty close to the source.  More fodder for the fire, I guess.

What happened to the FAQ list that is (or at least, used to be) posted monthly
to a.tv.p? It's got a lot of neat, behind-the-scenes kind of stuff that's not
in the GURPS book. Also, the book contains a lot of interpretation of things
in The Prisoner, not many of which I agree with.

I've been trying to remember the name of a series that came
on sometime during the early to mid-80's.

It was the one about a family that while visiting one of the
great pyramids over night (?) gets transported to an alternate
universe where they are constantly hunted by the government there
and have to keep moving from province to province.

The only episode I can remember is when the two kids decide to
become rock stars by singing old earth songs.  They become very
popular.  Eventually their popularity spreads and the gov't finds
out where they are and they have to move again.

I'm sure most of you remember something about this show.

  Now THIS is off-topic, but of course, this is the eternal flame.  The 
GURPS believers vs. the ICE/Hero fanatics (including myself) vs. the 
"Give AD&D a chance" hippies...  GURPS is IMHO one of the worst game 
systems out there...  But that's been hashed out everywhere already.

  Well, it's a subjective kind of show - you can read anything you want 
into it.  Think of it as a televisual Rorshach test (as David Lynch said 
about Twin Peaks, "If you want a message, call Western Union.")  I liked 
most of the explanations in the sourcebook...  And you do need a 
behind-the-scenes book, too.  "The Prisoner Companion" is what mine's 
called, I think...

As a witch (read: neo-pagan), I do wish y'all would go ahead and

small thing, but would be appreciated.  

Now, on to QL.

Spoiler protection inserted...













  
Well, the first part trilogy was well done, a bit creepy and
a bit mysterious.  Good overall.  I just hope they're not going
to be obvious about what really happened (i.e., it was the mom)

I wonder if Mrs. Haider was just trying to set up Abigail by shouting
"Get away from me, leave me alone!" there at the end?  If not, WHO was
she talking to?  Obviously not Sam, he hadn't gotten there yet, obviously
not Abigail, who was hiding in the closet, probably not Al, unless she's
nuttier than she seems.  So that leaves a third person.  Was it Meg Foster's
character?  The stammering boy?  Someone we don't know?  Interesting to
speculate.  I hope Meg Foster gets more to do in the next two episodes.
She's too good to waste in a non-role like the catatonic mom.

Off the top of my head, "The Scarlet Letter" (PBS) , "Sunshine"
(very short lived network series, early 1970's I think),

I was really pissed off by this version. Not because of the film, because it
was very good. But the network that was running it could only get in the first 
half because of something or other, and they did that three times over the
next four months. I've yet to see the second half of the movie.

Ziggy control Sam's.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought

a crucial component of the story.  Or look at it as a plot
