Actually, with "his" ability to sound like anyone, we could have many "Mikes." Let's really confuse folks! Perhaps we could have Joss too. Those Joss/Tim partnerships seem to work ok. I mean, look at how well Buffy turned out.
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

If Tim Minear -is- Stephen Hawking, and I believe he is, this Moon project just got a hell of a lot more interesting.

Puppets. It must be puppets.

I didn't mean is, as in, like is, but rather -is-. Y'know, like Sean Connery -is- James Bond, and not that Lojah Moole guy.

One of the founding fathers of science fiction, and his work seems to be nearly universally disliked, at least by the smart and creative folks here.

The raspberries support Betsy in lurkmail!
Heinlein, way over-rated IMO. The cult of Heinlein and I always looked at each other kinda befuddled at sf cons, like we were speaking different, alien languages. "But, but, didn't you read X?" "Didn't YOU?"

Betsty, what did Heinlein write that you liked? Or if you liked Moon, can you make an argument for why I should like it?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Yes please. I'd like to hear the opposing argument if you don't mind.

Define, "is."

Nutty, I loved all of Heinlein when I was sixteen, so much so that I can't read him objectively now. Most people nowadays agree that if you're going to like Heinlein at all, you'll like the juveniles. Try Citizen of the Galaxy, which is often described as a sort of space-age Kim. Deb loves The Door Into Summer, which is a time-travel thriller.
