I noticed something in Automan...

on Thursday, July, 17, 2003 10:13 AM
I was watching my Automan tapes a couple of days ago and noticed something that may be a nod to Tron (seeing as how Donald Kushner worked on both Tron and Automan). In Walter Nebicher's apartment there appears to be a jai alai glove/bat/thingy on the mantelpiece in the background. Possibly a reference to the ring game in Tron?

The whole show was a reference to Tron. I loved the jalai game. Kinda like pong on cafeene. Oh, and the whole life and death thing, too.

On a side note, I LOVE the way that scene shows Flynn's compassion for the programs and how he cares for them like a User:

SARK: Finish the game!!!
FLYNN: NO!
SARK: Kill him...
FLYNN: No...*drops pellet*order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Well yes, obviously the whole show is inspired by Tron. I just thought this was a much more subtle reference when compared with Automan's outfit, the Autocar/Autocopter and Cursor

What about the Autojet? I seem to remember one popping up in the pilot.

Yeah, but who cares if a program derezzes...just get another one, right?

But Flynn, he cared.

I forgot about that. I only have the second half of the series (episodes 8-13) and it's not used in those episodes.

I haven't seen the entire series. Sci Fi shows it every now and then. They had a marathon of it one day a while back. Very interesting show. I liked the one episode where his programer was riding around in his car and everytime he tuned a 90 degree angle it would thorw the guy against the window.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

I haven't seen that show in ages. That was I think in the early 80's. I remember seeing that when I was younger. Too bad they don't bring some of the reruns of that out on the regular cable channels. I would have loved to have taped that.

VROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

Yeah, that's where my episodes come from. A friend in Detroit taped them for me (I have NTSC-PAL/PAL-NTSC conversion facilities, plus most UK TVs and VCRs can handle NTSC natively)

That's just about every episode isn't it? where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online
