Wednesday: It occurs to me to wonder how Helen came to have access to a temporally nonlinear ansible net.

Of course Dave is Picard. Dave Luc-Picard.

I like the psychological synchronicity. It makes much more sense.

In panel 4 of Saturday’s comic, when Mell says “Began with an ‘S'”, all I could think of was “Skillful way you beat the other girls [with whips and chains] to the bride’s bouquet [that too!].”

Man, it has been so long since I last went to the Rocky Horror…

I seem to remember consistency requiring the existance of versions of the future (never shown at all) which were dystopian but where Dave never smoked. But now I want to see the non-dystopian version of this part of the future, where Dave is clueless and everyone is mean to him to preserve the non-dystopian future. And, of course, because being mean to Dave when he's clueless is fun.

Actually, the version of the future where Dave never smoked is SPOILER radically less dystopianl.

There's a version of this interaction where Dave doesn't smoke.

What are you talking about, smoke never Daved...

(TUNE: "Mambo Number 5", Lou Bega)

Five, ten, fifteen, then
When it's been twenty years, we'll see Dave again!
Then Mell and Helen will be telling of the spelling
To escort Davenport, thru the time stream propelling!
Now Dave is here, but I fear that I lost it!
I shoulda wrote, made a note or used a Post-It!
Don't condemn her, she really can't remember
The word that she heard, how absurd!

I think that it was so-ci-o-lo-gy ...
Or maybe it was spe-lae-o-lo-gy ...
I get the sense that sen-si-bi-li-ty
Is wrong, but sounds so-phis-ti-ca-ted, see?
I know for sure it's not psy-cho-lo-gy,
Although it sounds the same, it starts with "p"!
We gotta find the syl-la-bles sublime
To help you get your fat butt back in time!

Helen and Mell look so pleased with themselves in panel 2! Which always seems to happen when Dave's in terrible trouble...

Saturday:

"It's so simple, I can't believe we thought of it!" is a pretty good line.
