No, no, no.
Reign Of Fire was a presentation of post-colonial dynamics, sans shirts, plus beasties. Really, I might have gone into the social sciences if there were more well-considered lacks of shirts.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You did catch the "well-considered," right?

How do ponies fit into post-colonial dynamics, pray? Trains and the insistent push of technology, blah blah progress is hoodoo, yes; but I am blanking on the ponies.

I interpreted it to mean "the social scientist thought about it first".

Actually, if we're thinking of the same equine, I thought it was fascinating that as our hero rounded the corner into the scene, that he was a knight and not a cowboy. I'm biased, of course, by not being American, but knights and cowboys are about equally irrelevant to my life and history. I just loved the Mother England slant to the heroics, and found them delightfully consistent.

That would just be "considered." It's not well-considered unless I agree.

This is true. I would be vaguely amazed by this, since the production was an American one, except that half the point of the human conflict was cowboy versus knight. Notably, the knight managed to keep more of his peeps alive, whereas the cowboy was NSM with the preserve-and-protect ethos. Also, the cowboy was way rude.

Hey all! Guess what? Today should be the day! Today we should be breaking 100,000 degrees here in Tucson. Yeah!
