See, Wolfram, there could have been kids movies about anything else, and STILL all we'd have seen was SciFi. My dad's a SciFi buff, had a sub to Analog until the early 90s, and back issues floating all over the house. (When I was 12, I went on a binge and read about a decade and a half's worth of them in a week or two.) TV meant Star Wars reruns, Blake's 7, or Dr Who. There was no escaping it.
(My mother's mainly a non-fiction reader, which means most of my early fiction reading? Also Sci-fi. I think I hit the RAH stack at about 10/11.)
I imagine that the psychological effect Dune has on me is what ADD must be like.
Loved the books, though. When I was a freshman in high school, my mom's boyfriend gave me a bunch of books for my birthday that I probably wouldn't have found for ages otherwise: Dune, Zelazny, and Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. Good times.
I'm the only scifi fan in my immediate family. Which supports my theory that as a baby I was beamed through a wormhole from an alternate universe.
Going back to a much earlier question...
When is this mystery new show to air?
It looks like it will be March-ish.
March-ish.
My view of the season half-way point is now skewed all to hell with new shows starting in January. Is this going to be a "mid-season replacement?"
Is there an Attention Surplus Disorder?
I could have used one to finish Dune.
Oh March, huh? I had it in my head for January, so I would have been sad. Well, not really. Still. March-ish. Good to know.
Is this going to be a "mid-season replacement?"
It is indeed.
Though now that Fox is on this weird new year-round programming schedule, they should really stop calling things that. They should call it "New Spring Programming" or something.
ETA:
I had it in my head for January
So did I. I don't know why.
Is there an Attention Surplus Disorder?
I think it's called Geek Adolescence.
Well January would be better, plus birthday gift to the Capricorns on the right half of the sign. March is forever away. Luckily I am enjoying much of this season's TV, so I will survive.
