Cool Co Worker just bought the dvds for The Fantastic Journey, about a group of people who are trapped in the Bermuda Triangle and go from portal to portal or time to time or something. We watched some of it at lunch.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Kind of OT, but DebetEsse, you were IB, right? What did you guys have to focus on for 20th century world history? (We did a lot on WW1, a bit on the events leading to WW2, and then a lot on the Cold War and Vietnam. We had The End of the European Era and Where the Domino Fell as our main texts senior year.)
Plei, I was not. I was in AP Euro and US, but that works differently (and my Euro teacher sucked a lot. It was her last year before she retired)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
UFO had the best costumes and set designs of any sci-fi show ever. They really gave a lot of thought to how people would look and dress in the future.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I can see where they might have been seminal in some anime artistic conventions.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's why I'm single. My childhood expectations as to what women of the future would be like were never met....

Holy shit! Purple haired UFO girl is Nick Drake's sister.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Laughing so hard right now. Did someone say UFO took place in the 1980s? When we evolved purple hair?
Now I am wondering if there's a species with purple hair.

Early 70s. And that character was an alien, I think.

Huh? I'm pretty sure it was set in 1980.
