I was thinking the same about Mell… which makes me think of Artie Feldman in Young Frankenstein: “You get the blonde, and I’ll take the one in the turban!” (Only in our case, it’s “You take the blonde, and I’ll get the one with the BFG fetish!” -_^)

I love that [SPOIILERS AND STUFF] the story actually ends with Dave and Helen walking side by side down the same beach.

You forgot the beginning! Something like,

Oh my, oh me!

Are we gonna stay on this is-

land indefinitely?

You have to sing the last bit kind of fast.

(TUNE: "The End" by The Beatles) (How appropriate.)

... and in the end,
The lab you build
Is admin'd by the Dave
You killed ...

Actually the problems with Song of the South have been edited out of the recent release. The original release had some terribly offensive racial stereotypes in a few scenes, you can probably look 'em up on YouTube.

Also, I would not mind being in Dave's presumed position at ALL.

Speaking of Br'er Narbon, if you google "song of the south DVD" there are apparently some copies available now. It just might be your chance to see what people's problem is with it. (Best I can tell is that it's "offensive" because the people with different skin colors mostly get along with each other.)

And for those of you who read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and wondered about The Reverend Dr. Syn in the portraint of "presumably previous members", Disney is about to re-release The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh with Patrick McGoohan. Personally, I've been waiting for that for decades!! Woot!

Aaaand just when his intelligence is shining through, we happen to be getting a glimpse of Dave’s eyes around the side of his glasses…

That is a particularly good Artie.

“I’ll just have to cope with living on a tropical island with two scantily-clad women … who would cheerfully rip out my internal organs to build a still so they can have daquiris.” Kindofa mixed blessing donchathink?

How soon did you decide just how clever Dave actually was?

Around this time. I'll have to discuss that in more detail later.
