I wil look up those titels you mentioned. I'm curious. I like sci-fi and mystery and creative ideas.



Author's Response: Glad to hear that. :-) Meen Peluce was approximately age 12 when he co-starred in VOYAGERS. But, I think he now works as a photojournalist.. Hence the phrase "seemingly retired" (as in "...from acting").

Special note: chapters 21 and 22 were partially inspired by VOYAGERS. A sci-fi one-season wonder that was telecast, by NBC, on Sunday nights back in the Eighties. It starred the late, great Jon-Erik Hexum as a professional time traveler and the seemingly retired Meeno Peluce as his ward (the orphaned adolescent son of 20th century history teachers).

Thanks for a fun tale. Fitzhugh got the best deal. A fun life with Lee, Kyle, and Leslie Noticias.




Author's Response: You're welcome. And I'm glad you enjoyed it! . :-) If it were still on Youtube, I'd e-mail you the 1980 soup commercial that partially inspired this tale. Alas! The Aletter-Meriwether family seem to have objected to it. So, it's gone. :-(

What a entertaining mixture this is. This is how the TV-series 'Land of the Giants' should have been like.

 

 



Author's Response: Thanks!!! :-)

The giants will have to cut the TIEs that bind.



Author's Response: But, the Force binds all life forms, together. ;-)

Interesting idea for Marna to have telepathic thoughts.



Author's Response: Who knows? The Force might be with her!

I've got a picture photo collage shot (from an LOTG site) that shows Mark and Marna as they would have been if Marna was a giant. I'll send it to you.

That is such a funny chapter title

What a good time for this story to come back on Most Recent. Only 20 minutes ago I was watching some of my unseen Clone Wars DVDs that I bought last year.

And the Anna Grams just keep on coming.



Author's Response: Well, all my other would-be reviewers have probably lost interest in it. Can't say as I blame them, either. Hopefully, thoug, they'll reconsider after another chapter or two.

How good to see SID Inspector Kobick under heavy fire from little people for once.

columbiform — I almost thought you made that word up!

Great imagery in the paragraph starting with “Marna could not help giggling as she watched...”

Very nice!



Author's Response: Thanks. And, I apologize (once again) for the inexcusably long delay.

Ah, you've wisely extrapolated on the Inidu/Kirmus as brothers idea I put into one of my old LOTG yarns. Wow, I just realised I've been on here since 2009.

And a hearty bwahahahhahah to the title of this chapter.



Author's Response: I'm just trying not to take this particular work, too seriously (as I sometimes have a tendency to do).

Let's hope nobody ends up in Greta's garbo.

 



Author's Response: Is that Asutralian slang for those pasties with the battery-operated twirling tassels?

Oh good grief. Now I'm Ebirc Semit. Only you could come up with so many plays on my name. Loving it.



Author's Response: I had hoped you might. ;-D

Greta Gault. Good idea. Being a gts-er, I never fancied William Schallert.



Author's Response: If you ever want to see him in a truly villainous role, you should try to rent "The Man From Planet X" on DVD. Probably the very first s.f. film of the 1950's!

And Yoda's backward way of talking has affected the naming of many characters. LOL.



Author's Response: Well, I know that actor Robert Hogan's character in "The Marionettes" was actually named Brady. But, in retrospect, couldn't Irwin Allen's writers have used the same technique that they used for the poverty-stricken Ekorb family?

Well done, Yarc Micco

Good to see the SID reacting to the Star Wars characters.

From memory of an end theme credit from an LOTG ep, Kevin Hagen's character is spelled Kobick.



Author's Response: Poetic license, dear boy! Poetic license. ;-)

General Prilosec,  send down another dose of At-AT's, an if Corperal Rolaid is up there send him down too!  ;`)...

*God I hate these early Flu season's, and 90 degree temp's...:(   I'm still alive though...



Author's Response: X-D I can't credit for the tag-name, however. He's Sir P's brainchild! Hence, the dedicative disclaimer at the beginning of the chapter.
