Thank you for the information. I was rabid about this show during the 90’s. It would be interesting to see what a sligh larger budget and 25 years of technological progress will give the shows look. At the time JMS was known for keeping the show on time and under budget. 
 
I also have mixed feelings about this, as most current year shows are saddled with personally unattractive agenda, which is why I have been watching the old show with my mother as it’s on HBO Max and she has a better TV than I do. She’s a Trekkie and it took her one season of it to get the characters straight. Other than the kind of rough FX, it still hold up due to the writing and the acting performances. 

My problem with the Mickey Mouse argument is that unlike most of the others, that character is the "face" of Disney. He isn't just a cartoon character anymore, he is a representative logo. It's Ronald McDonald or the Gecko from Geico. I can understand Disney not wanting him on public domain. I think he is a different case then many of them.
 
It was mentioned that do we not give credit to writers who really elevated a character. Do we give Thor's creator credit or Williamson who really brought the character popularity. What about Burns, who seemed to breathe new life into so many characters and redefined them in ways still used today.
 
Miller with Daredevil and Batman.
As Spence was saying, I don't know and wouldnt want to be the one deciding.

That’s why they went into Journalism.    As to the article itself....I hate math and I suck at it.  I also hate getting up early to shave and take a shower before I go out.   So what?  In the words of every Drill Sargent in history,  “You don’t have to like it, you just have to do it.”
  If dunderheaded parents and teachers helped both boys and girls understand how much they needed math and how understanding at least a little about it could open up their world....but I suppose that goes for Reading and Science and Languages too. 
  Maybe if the aforementioned dunderheads were to do their jobs and/or take their parental responsibilities seriously the world might not suck quite so hard.
       Thus ends the sermon.  Thank you, I and my soapbox will go away now.

And for after....

     I would follow this guy to see where he went, but I think that’s the start of a three book series.

Odin, is that you?

Wait until she finds the roller skates.

You guys have short memories. Just off the the top of my head the 70's gave us Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Meat Loaf and Parliament/Funkadelic. Sure there was a lot of dreck, but even Disco had some gems and while it's not for everyone, this is when Rap was in its infancy and Country was going strong.

Well, the music was better.

I always think it's funny when young people get all enamored over the 70s. I'm like, "Trust me, I was there, and it kind of sucked."
 
Now I have photographic proof to back up my argument.

Now that ABBA is back together, there are reports that they will be touring with Elvis Costello. And I have to wonder, at an ABBA and Costello concert, who's on first?

Apropos of which, the Marketplace radio program yesterday said that Tesla Motors just filed its patent for using lasers as windshield wipers.

Especially with autonomous vehicles? Everyone loves robots with death rays!

Well, I would point out that Darth was actually the number 1 Lacky to the guy who actually ruled an entire Galaxy.
