: : A. Make Hans Dressler and his secret German base a recurring theme on the show, like Callisto in XWP.: Being German myself, I strongly object to the permanent introduction of another stereotype German villain. :) Hey, why not make the evil character Austrian? How do you solve a problem like Maria? I've always suspected that Maria and the von Tropp Family Singers was just a front for a diamond-seeking slave ring :) : : B. Have other pulp heroes drop by! Tom Swift, Doc Savage, and
: : Young Indiana Jones come to mind. Copyright problems there. Why not make a 20's-ish style pulp hero that is a combination of all of those? If you've seen "Toy Story 2", think of the scene where Buzz Lightyear #2 is leading the toys through the elevator shaft. Something like that could be done on TLW and it'd work pretty well. : : C. Have actual historical characters from that time period drop by. Frank Buck&Clyde Beatty, USMC Col. Chesty Puller, Al Capone, and
: : Texas Ranger Frank Hamer come to mind. Hey, don't disparage the good name of Chesty Puller by including him on this show or you'll have a whole mess of US Marines knocking on your door. Maybe GI Joe instead ;) Actually, it might be possible to use the case of British WW1 ace Albert Ball, who was last seen chasing a German plane into a cloud and was never seen again. Maybe he popped out of that cloud and into the Lost World, along with the German plane flown by Hans Dressler! Enjoy!
