: : : For those that don't read or receive the Lost World E-Newsletter, here is some interesting news:

: : : "Inside Scoop One of the episodes that is currently in production will feature a group of modern-day tourists who accidentally travel back through time and find themselves stuck in the Lost World. The script is hilarious, and it promises to be one of next season's best. Could you imagine packing for your next trip and winding up in the Lost World!? I hope you remember to pack some bug repellent. Does that stuff work on Dinosaurs?"

: : Wow! I had no idea that they would actually *publish* my sons literature! Give me a break.

: Ouch! Could you be any harsher? You could try, but you would not be successful. Or would you? Honestly, though, I have to agree. I was hoping the writers would come up with some better plots, but I guess that one's out the window! That so-called episode better have some major comic relief besides the thin plot.

Actually, they pulled some of those plots off on Xena and I found them quite entertaining. but Xena is a different ball game. What we really need is that second German expedition after Marguerite, Summerlee back arging with Challenger about why there are dinosaurs atop the plateau, which I can assure you would have happened; one, not more than two human empires abstracted from empires not well known that existed in the past. Character development - histories. Did finally find out what Marguerite might have done at Jutland. Simple really, you just had to see it. Now I can create a history for her during the war years. I can guarantee that Lost World writers won't come up with anything as plausible, but oh how I'd like to see them get serious enough to try.
