Last year, the Picture Slot went to Donald Sutherland, a guy who has been working longer than most of the people on the list have been alive. This year, I decided to feature the work of the puppeteer Tim Rose and his best known alter ego Admiral Ackbar. Next year, I'll likely feature J. Michael Straczynski, whose best work Babylon 5 is unfairly the object of scorn on the modern nerd touchstone show The Big Bang Theory.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and... hey! Everybody's alive! Yay!
Prediction: A young woman travels back in time from the 28th century to 1962 to forestall a nuclear Armageddon on July 17, 2007 known as The Big Crunch, a disaster which led to a prolonged nuclear winter and a five hundred year dark age. In her own time, women are warrior/hunters, and men are blamed for the war and are not allowed to fight. Radioactive fires still burn and mutants exist. She joins forces with a two-century old immortal who ultimately tries to trigger the war she is trying to prevent, as a means of ending his burdensomely long life.
Reality: Damn those two hundred year old immortals and their secret agenda!
As is often the case with our nuclear holocaust predictions, the description is lifted from the website of Paul Brians, a great resource I am glad I found.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
Fridays are Edgar Cayce day here at the blog, still not as popular as Taco Tuesdays.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!

ReplyDeleteBut also....World War Z.
I too liked Babylon 5. Superb story arc like no other. I believe the poor reviews were due to the horrendous acting. The best thespians on that series were hidden under fifty pounds of latex. And as much as I like JMS it's still too early to forgive him for Murder She Wrote!
