What's the most original show after twin peaks?

Started for me about 83, reading my older brother's copies of 2000AD. I still read it to this day, it really is the greatest comic in the galaxy.

Could you review 'Prey World" by Alexander Merow? It is a great German dystopian novel

My seven-year-old daughter sometimes watched The Prisoner with me and after one episode she announced, "I hate Number 6." I almost laughed, "Why?" "He always knows everything." "Why do you think that is?" "The midget butler hangs around Number Two all day then tells Six everything he said." SPOILER: Her hypothesis was right, the final scene is Six and the butler leaving the Village behind and driving straight to Six's former row house in town. <What do you want? Information in formation.>

Reading the story now. I mean not now now because I’m writing this right. It’s so good I feel like I’m there in the story.

The way Errol Childress calls Rust “little priest” still makes my spine chill to the core.

And now... everything is shrapneled apart due to ideological ultra-rich culture kidnapers and idiotic, moronic 'militias'. It's not 'economical mistakes': it's 'ideological investment'. They're sure of the outcome.

Came by to rewatch great interviews. They're purged? Moved or hidden?

ok but at what point does chambers ever refer to the king in yellow as hastur? reducing hte king in yellow to just another tentacle cthulu clone wasn't originally the character concept

There are so many classic SF masterpieces that I haven't read. By the time I get to this series I'll be old and jaded

I remember seeing Splinter for sale after Star Wars and being stumped as a kid, excited but not a word said about it. The Marvel comics were way bigger. So the book was like the hushed up UFO sighting of books. Then people years later start bringing it up... mainly because Disney (and prequel Lucas) has butchered the mythic Star Wars vibe. They've taken the wrong path so we miss the better older Star Wars.

I read that book- was looking forward to it

Went there as a kid in the 80s. It was probably raining then too. Sadly, I am just a number.

What happened to the older videos?

Now I know what _Alan Dean Foster_ looks like...👍

In this particular case, I'm not sure there even is a conflict between Splinter and ESB. You could have them happen in just that order, couldn't you. If so, then as Vader would say, "There is no conflict."

The kyber crystal was in the first drafts of Star Wars.

I grew up in Tennessee - and ANY TIME I found a 2000 AD weekly or monthly, I bought it,.

I would love to like the video, however it's currently at 420 :(

So it was a McGuffin story. The guy even says McGuffin lol

I remember reading Splinter of the Mind's Eye, but for the life of me, I can't remember much about the story, except for someone saying that they can't swim!

I've never been a fan of horror, but HP Lovecraft didn't write horror, at least as far as I'm concerned; he wrote 'dark fantasy'. Besides the Elder Gods, there were also the weird alien race of beings in At the Mountains of Madness, creatures not from another world, but a race that simply pre-dated humanity on earth. And my favorite is The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

Splinter of the Mind's Eye got a comic mini-series from Dark Horse in the 90s. Take that as you low budget sequel that could have been.

It might be You…

Well done sir

What happened to all the old videos? I can't see anything older than a year! I keep coming back here to reference the top ten videos to pick what to read :(

I liked 'Splinter.' I bet copies of it in good condition are expensive!

What a great surprise! I saw the thumbnail pop up when 10 other prisoner thumbnails kept popping up. . . I didn't realize it was you until it popped up at the end of your next video. I'm glad I went back and watched it!

I love the Wasted Earth and Judge Death in the Judge Dredd comic book series

Thanks!

3:32 The author wants to make me think? That monster!

Wait, before the video tells me, I'm going to guess that it's Hugo Gernsback and John Campbell. [After watching] Well, whaddayaknow, I was right!

Always thought, since 3PO was eventually connected to Vader, that that connection should have been explored more… I mean, maybe he’s why the Alliance was so easily tracked… lots to explore there…

What happened to all your old videos? I went to go look for a bunch of them and could not find them.

Read it as an original. I won't go into things, but LOVED it (80's/90's). Every time this comes up in the news (this year it has gotten quieter), I would think the same things. From out of nowhere you bring up an awesome ...errrr "subject". Great episode.

After over twenty years of working in mental health, sadly I have to say that there are literally thousands of people who given the right circumstances could do something terrible like this. That these people have access to books with disturbing content does not bother me. That these people could have access to guns, as they do in the US, is disturbing.

What is really sad is that the OG Star Wars never won an award for it performances or screenplay. The technical achievements were not enough to make this film a success. Without the universal resonance of the story and the relatability of the performances as a foundation to build the technical elements on, it would have been a total flop. It's these two crucial ingredients that so many modern blockbuster films still get wrong, instead dropping storytelling and compelling character arcs in favour of effects, fights and spectacle.

I'm so fucking happy you've highlighted this fact. He's recently written a brilliant new sci-fi short story called "Two talented basteds" IT was first contact all along. The Jaunt is one of the disturbing books I've ever read. (But he should of come up with something better than a cloud chamber 😂) Dark tower is more Sci-fi than fantasy. (Inter dimensional doors). I could go on.. yes it's soft sci-fi but it's still worth a read. P.s I'm also a Alastair Reynolds fan so I go both extremes.

I have the Bachman books with no mention of Kingo ;) Running man is my favourite.

Ugh I used to read a lot of sci fi as a kid and Alan Dean Foster was the WORST. When compared to folks like Heinlein and Niven, he was complete garbage. I hated his books. Splinter of the Minds Eye was junk, the beginning of the horrible spinoff book craze that continues to this day. His writing was pedantic, formulaic and uninspired. Even as a pre-teen I recognized how trite and poor his narratives were. I don't recommend anyone waste any money on it.

A video made on the right side of taste snd sensibility. Well done.

I remember reading this as a teenager. I loved the story and was terrified at the same time. Steven King is a genius.

I notice that Moid isn't wearing his shoulder rig for this one. I wonder why. LOL.

my man luke starkiller

Well worded.

Great video! What happened to all the older videos of interviews w/ authors?! Kinda bummed.

The irony here for me is that you normally sit there doing your videos with a hand gun in a shoulder holster. I've have never understood why you want to wear that gun in your videos. It looks like some love affair with the worst of American life.

Moid goin deep. Xlnt.

Interesting discussion of Rage and why Stephen King had it banned because of all the horrible school shootings in American. I can see why he had to do it, and I respect his discision. It must play on his conscious that these disturbed kids read his book and decide to emulate the story. But that book is available on eBay like you mention -and I had a copy once. Stephen king earlier works are more darker and violent than his recent stuff. Personally, I prefer his old books and short stories.

One might wonder what the effects would have been had it been made required reading. Sometimes bringing issues to light is better than keeping people in the dark about it. Might have made for easier identification of troubled individuals with open discussions. I'm more to leaning towards the devil you know is better than the devil you don't ideal.
