Cool DW 4x08 speculation from the TWoP thread: "You've got a brain the size of a planet, and suddenly you're all alone with little to do and nobody to talk to for a whole century. So you do what the Toclafane did: you regress yourself to a child, and transport yourself to 21st-century England--only for you, it's just a self-imposed virtual reality. It's a way to stay close to sane and close to happy.

"Now imagine you're building the library. Problem with a computer the size of a planet: how can you possibly maintain it? How can you make alterations, or fix problems? You'd need a really powerful diagnostic computer, and you'd need it to be nearby. So you hollow out a great big moon, build it inside that, and and put it in orbit.

"The diagnostic computer is simpler, and more stable. It's stayed aware of what's going on, but it let CAL have its fantasy. But now there are lives at stake, so it's projected an avatar of itself into CAL's world to gently pull it back to reality. Naturally, it came in the form of Dr. Moon, psychiatrist."

I like that! Although the first place my mind went at "brain the size of a planet" was Marvin the Paranoid Android. ...Which would be pretty awesome, actually!

Did anyone else watch Heatstroke?

Not only was Wayne in it, Francesca Bueller (aka Minister Ahkna from PKW) was in it, and it was written by David Kemper and Ricky Manning, the executive producers of Farscape. I haven't watched it yet, though, because Aztec Rex was sooo bad.

Venture Brothers is back.

It aired Sunday night.

I must ahem.

Heatstroke: I didn't see Aztec Rex. This movie wasn't so bad it was good - it just seemed like a miss.

Venture Brothers here or in comedy?

Venture Brothers here or in comedy?

I've seen discussion in Comedy, so probably best to continue it there.

This summer horror series stars tomorrow in the er timeslot.

We used to discuss VB in here, I thought. I've never been in Comedy.
