After that one has to be a . . . REALLY diehard fan to keep up with the series. Sort of like gritting one's teeth while watching season-2 episodes of Space: 1999 (and some of the season-1 episodes can be uncomfortable as well).<br /><br />Michael Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808166630399508232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-81446930888968656922014-12-04T09:52:57.681-06:002014-12-04T09:52:57.681-06:00We weren't allowed to watch LIS as it was on a...We weren't allowed to watch LIS as it was on a school night. Later, in military school, I got to see it and HATED it and Dr. Smith ... AND Will ... AND the robot. Smith REALLY got on my nerves.<br /><br />These were the later episodes. MANY years later I was surprised to find Harris' character to be originally quite dangerous/deadly.

The trick isn't to understand them. ...Michael,<br /><br />The trick isn't to understand them. They actually don't want that. Understanding them takes all the smoke out of the mirrors. Just jump their rope, at their speed. They don't understand each other, really, or even themselves. Certainly not their bodies. Their bodies and minds are often in complete disagreement. No, just be with them in a non-sexual way.<br /Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299612.post-79727672149275057182014-12-03T19:12:24.189-06:002014-12-03T19:12:24.189-06:00@Aardvark --- I remind you of a very young Foghorn...@Aardvark --- I remind you of a very young Foghorn Leghorn?<br /><br />High praise indeed!<br /><br />@Doom --- trying to understand women is a mug's game.

Ah...Michael,<br /><br />Yeah, but sewing machine?<br /><br />Aardvark,<br /><br />Ah! So... that cigar... isn't always a cigar? I didn't write that.<br /><br />As to intrigued? Well, I can speak to women in their world. The setup has to be right.

That's ...Wow, Doom. "Bat the balls"?<br /><br />That's ghey. ;)<br /><br />No, sounds like normal locker-room antics. "Psychic (non-gay) jock check"...RIOT!
