Day: April 28, 2003

So I’m watching “Alias” last night and there’s Sloan trudging up snowy mountains…and there, in the distance, appears to be Shangri La right out of “Lost Horizon.” And I said, “Well, SOMEone has been reading the work of Joseph Conrad.”

Moments later Sloan heads into the monastery looking for someone who turns out to be played by David Carradine. The name of the Carradine character?

Conrad.

Love it.

By the way, am I the only person who thinks the season ender is going to be the revelation that, six centuries later, Rimbaldi is still alive? I mean, *how* many times have they mentioned he was obsessed with immortality?

One of the more frequently asked questions I’ve gotten in recent years is, “Whatever happened to Spyboy #13?” since the series jumped from 12 to 14. The answer has shipped its first third as Spyboy 13.1, the MANGA Affair, hit the stores last week.

Anyone read it? What’d’ja think?
