Hey Seany! Wow, I'd never heard that Lost in Space story before. Ah, network bastardry; a fine vintage.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Roddenberry recounted the tale in a book, I believe. MM would probably remember which book. It may have been in Shatner's book about the series years. They all run together after a while.

Oh well, at least no one named a space shuttle the Jupiter 2.

You know, somebody should write a crossover where the Jupiter 2 lands on Lost Island....

OMG WHY IS THERE STILL LAUNDRY?
I have washed fifteen squillion loads of laundry this weekend, and am seriously considering packing up and moving the whole family to a nudist colony.

The laundry is multiplying. Get out while you still can.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
By the end of the afternoon, I will be caught up on all of my laundry except the sheets currently on my bed and the clothes I am wearing.
Of course, I spilled coffee on my shirt earlier, so it's not going to last long.

Perkins & Jessica, my sistahs in laundry-doing! I did three loads yesterday and should do the same today but probably won't. My lazy, let me show you it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I could do laundry tonight but I will probably put it off until tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I seriously need to do laundry myself. We'll see.
