That would explain why, every time I attempt to meet Eric in person, he is always otherwise engaged.We'll find out on Thursday by who begs off and who shows up. http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.php?showtopic=42144 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One man's imaginary friend is... well, another imaginary friend. ;)Hmm... I wonder... Why? Because I often ponder these things.Would my imaginary enemy's enemy be my imaginary friend? Or just an temporary imaginary ally? I kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 The Horta was around before Star Trek. Did you ever see the last episode of Outer Limits called The Probe?http://www.hulu.com/watch/155109/the-outer...ginal-the-probeThe creatures look similar, because they were created by the same group... Project Unlimited. The moving carpet beast in "The Probe" later was used as the 'Horta' in "The Devil in the Dark", and operated by the same actor (Janos Prohaska).~From --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outer_Lim...Special_effectsCool trivia, huh?

Very cool trivia! :DOf course, the Horta's name was Probe in "The Probe" ... very cool that Roddenberry made use of not only the same 'creature' but the same actor that manipulated it previously.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Actually, it didn't have a name in the The Probe. It was an alien germ that had infected the probe sent to the planet to take scientific readings and samples of plant/animal (non-intelligent) life. At the end of the episode, when the humans (who were accidentally picked up by the probe) are released, the probe self-destructs because it knows it has become infected. It was a pretty good plot. Sadly, that was the last episode of The Outer Limits. It was really a good program. It used to come on TV in Tampa back when I was a kid on Saturday afternoons at 1PM. I hardly ever missed it. I was very young and didn't understand a lot of the stories, but I sure did enjoy watching it. My two favorite episodes are Keepers of the Purple Twilight and Behold Eck!http://www.hulu.com/watch/155114/the-outer...purple-twilighthttp://www.hulu.com/watch/155123/the-outer...inal-behold-eckTOL is still broadcast locally on one of our secondary digital channels (32.2) here in Tampa. It comes on two or three times a week at about 4AM. Sometimes, I manage to catch an episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LilBambi Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 A true good read is surely an act of innovative creation in which we, the readers, become conspirators. ;)Part of a quote from Augustine Birrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipDoc Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Not everything I type is a work of art, but I certainly do try to at least put something of value into each post.Having said that, I recognize that I fail from time to time and it makes me more willing to cut others some slack.
