It sounds like you need to borrow my DVD of A Touch of Brimstone.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've seen the episode--I just never made the connection.

Huh.
It seemed obvious to me. It veers off from "homage" territory into the "rip-off" zone.

I'm not good with that sort of memory--I read the comic way after seeing the episode--I couldn't tell you the guest actors/characters from any of the TV I watched in the early 80s.

Love that episode. Diana Rigg's outfit (you know the one) is etched into my memory. Also, the ep features a pre-Python appearence by Carol Cleveland.

I wasn't sure where to post this because I think of Minearverse as the place where people talk about Warren Ellis but really this is a comics thing so...

Scans daily has posted the Callisto/Storm duel. God I love that, both narratively and artistically.
Some strange stuff happens with Storm's face, but the body language is beautiful throughout the fight.

That was Paul Smith? I loved his art on the book. One of my favorite runs on X-men. How cool is Ororo's knife-snatch out of the air?

I love the panel where Storm has trapped Callisto's arm up in the air and is about to stab her. It looks so loose, and in the middle of motion.
