As much as I hate to mention this, there is a seventh book in the series.
I know of no one who has read it.
One day, the starship USS Voyager disappeared in the Badlands in pursuit of a Maquis ship. Seven years later, it returned to Earth. Everything that was said to have happened during the intervening period is based on rumour and hearsay.
Third Ringworld novel? What third Ringworld novel?
And it’s a good thing Xander wasn’t the one who summoned the song and dance demon in “Once More With Feeling.” That just would’ve been stupid.
Hmmm, How about…
Joel should have stuck it out to the end of Northern Exposure, the last episodes were not the same.
The whole last season (or was it two) of Moonlighting should be torched. I can’t even watch the reruns for fear it’ll be an episode from the bad bunch.
Trying to continue “Beauty and the Beast” with a different lead actress was a gigantic wasted effort.
Will and Holly should have been eaten by Sleestaks rather than have Marshal replaced by the uncle.*
*Just kidding on the last one.
I thought it was sooo sweet then when the love of her life, Steve Rhoades, left her, Marcy never married again in the seven remaining years of Married…with Children.
Is this in fact a retcon? I’ve been re-reading the early X-Men issues, and while he says a number of things that imply that he did not originally have the claws, I don’t think that I’ve come across anywhere where he outright says that he didn’t have them.
I don’t have my resources handy, but didn’t DC comics create a character to explain the coincidence of both Flash and Kid Flash having the same accident? Even the comic company refuses to acknowledge the character’s existance.
Mopee.
Bad idea. He was featured in an Ambush Bug issue that dealt with the characters who should not survive the Crisis…
I believe he also sent a bat through Bruce Wayne’s window, and nudged Superinfant’s spaceship toward earth, as opposed to Rann. He appeared in Ambush Bug, as a throwaway gag. I can’t remember the name, though.
I think you mean “Mopee” (for whom, IIRC, the Comics’ Buyers Guide has named their dumb-moments-in-comics award).
I suspect that Mopee was originally an attempt to give the Flash his own meddling imp. Mr. Mxyzptlk had been around for a while, Bat-Mite had been introduced, and even Aquaman had some sort of water sprite to add alledged humour.
Kid Falsh’s origin, however, always reminded me of an old joke.
“How did you lose your finger?”
“I just reached over towards the saw blade and … damn, there goes another one.”
I’m glad that Isaac Asimov started a few new projects in the last decade of his life instead of revisiting the old 40s and 50s stuff.
I’m glad we’ve never done a thread like this before. But I forgive the OP since he’s a guest and can’t search.
In case anyone is wondering what I was on, when I said:
I was inspired by:
In “What famous thing surprised you when you saw it in person?”
:rolleyes:
Gah! I acknowledged those threads in post eight of this thread! Besides which, this thread can include more than that, it can include throwaway lines about forgotten background details about characters, given the examples in the OP, and besides that it looks like people want to post along those lines again, without having to go through page after page, to see if the one they have has been posted yet.
Now, I appreciate the fact that you are having a little fun at my expense, and that I am so much more sensitive than most to sarcasm, but really, at least read the thread first.
Look, I’ll make it easy for you and post comment eight:
He would rather forget his first album, entitled “David Bowie". I have a copy I bought from a Drug store. (No, not that kind, The Rite-Aide kind.) It was created in 1967, three years before "Space Oddity, and it sounds like a medieval troubadour singing easy listening tunes.
In another fact that his fans would rather forget, he was born David Robert Jones, giving him pretty much the same name (minus the middle one) as the member of The Monkees, David Jones, who had the name for two year before Bowie was birthed.
It’s a good thing that R.E.M. decided to stop making records when Bill Berry retired.
The Matrix: Reloaded was a great movie, and The Matrix: Revolutions was even better. I and many others thoroughly enjoyed them. Sorry if that FACT hurts you … oh, wait a minute, no I’m not.
Alens 3, however, was fortunately scrapped when everyone realized how stupid it would be to release such a thorougly awful sequel, hence was never made.
Robert Jordan wrapped up The Wheel of Time after six books, going out on a graceful high note.
Oh, yeah, I’ve not read it but I remember the title … The Necronomicon!
