"Small note on Fulcrum II"
|
While I was re-reading Fulcrum to refresh the story of Obi-Wan's padawan in my mind, I caught this little nod to a certain old show. "HK-47," she said into the handlink stuck to the back of her left hand, "I need you." I can't believe I missed it - it was one of my favourite things on TV when I was younger. Good one, Gryph. :) As a Nethack player, I find your respect for Surtur amusing. |

Once an episode or so he'd get into >trouble and call out "KITT, I need you!" into his watch, and KITT >would drive to the rescue (often busting through a wall in the >process). > >Edit: The funniest thing about this reference is probably the >juxtaposition of naive, innocent KITT with his primary directive to >protect human life... and the bloodthirsty HK-47. Actually, didn't they have this kind of thing on Babylon 5, too? "They say one should not speak unkindly of the dead, so I say, 'nice try'." --Lezard
