-t and I both saw the name "Buck Bokai" and our minds immediately went to the same place.
Yup. So much for me being enigmatic and inscrutable.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
"Space, the final frontier..."
And, um, how does it go? "Do not attempt to adjust your TV set..."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"You unlock this door with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into . . . The Twilight Zone."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
And "I was falsely accused of a hideous crime...", although maybe not so famous.

"In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit! These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground! Today, if you have a problem, if no one else can help -- and if you can find them -- maybe you can hire... THE A-TEAM!"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
1968, I was twelve years old. A lot happened that year. Dennis McLain won 31 games, The Mod Squad hit the air, and I graduated from Hillcrest Elementary and entered junior high school...but we'll get to that. There's no pretty way to put this: I grew up in the suburbs. I guess most people think of the suburb as a place with all the disadvantages of the city, and none of the advantages of the country, and vice versa. But, in a way, those really were the wonder years for us there in the suburbs. It was kind of a golden age for kids.
Damn, I loved that show.

If I only had a brain...
"Do not attempt to adjust your TV set..."
Right. And how many kids today even know what the horizontal and the vertical are, far less how to adjust them?
