Since "The Dream Masters" was one of the most blatant, to say nothing of WORTHLESS, movie rip-offs of the series... the prizes for its deconstruction head back into pure VHS territory!

[ http://www.scifi.com/bboard/browse.cgi/1/5/545/26551 ]

As for TM's inquiries:

• Mychand and The_Seer posted under 'The Young and the Relentless' after I'd already posted 'Invasion,' and thus were acknowledged under 'The Dream Masters.'
• TM, you were overlooked because you replied after I'd written the player round-up and I never realized the discrepancy. A thousand times sorry!
• I scanned the archives, and TM is indeed the only person to contribute to all 31 episode games to date! For this astounding feat of dedication, he receives a very special PLATINUM STAR! Let's hear some applause, folks!

=== SHOW AND TELL ===

BLINKER [dragging a huge sheet of plywood into the drive room]: Whew! And now, presenting the wall that Peck punched a hole in, after learning the Gulf War ended years ago and he had no hope of the US government paying him off to "advertise" Operation Desert Storm.

THIRD SEASON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DAVID PECKINPAH: So I was a little behind watching my CNN tapes; big deal! I had to do a lot of freeze-framing to investigate whether Wolf Blitzer really IS a werewolf.

BLINKER [ignoring Peck]: So what've you got?

SYNTHIA: Well now! This here is the ultimate proof that everyone involved with Season Three had Rice-A-Roni for brains.

BLINKER: An arrow?

SYNTHIA: Yeah! Except it's EMBEDDED IN SOLID ROCK! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BOW CAN DRIVE ARROWS INTO GRANITE?!?!?

BLINKER: But that isn't granite. It's styrofoam! Any old arrow can penetrate styrofoam!

[Pause.]

BLINKER: I'm not seeing the problem here!

SYNTHIA [turns to camera]: I'm trying. I really am...

NEW EPISODE UP :-)

Tormenta del desierto!

Date: 10/24/2001
From: ThomasMalthus

Beginning text must be destroyed!

With that said, the coolest thing about this episode has to be the Spanish title! "Tormenta del desierto!" It sounds like it involves scorpions, honey and smiting infidels. Too bad Peck couldn't come up with an episode that matched the mental imagery invoked by the title. Runner up status goes to "Die Wasserhexe", the German title. It brings to mind the classic story of Hansel and Gretel, where the witch lures the children into her house made from discarded Evian bottles...or maybe that was something they taught the children on that EduLearn world. I forget.

And to Blinker's mucho generoso bestowment of a platinum star to me, I must counterreward him with the title Four Platinum Star Genius of Hilarity for starting this series in the first place! Bravo!

And while I'm talking about deserts, be sure to read episode 6.11 of Earth 2013, "Desert Sands". It'll be...interesting.

The Pillsbury DoughBoy.

Damn...that was the commercial. Can't use that...although those 30 seconds were infinitely more entertaining than the 45 minutes Universal filmed for this one. Hmmmm....I guess I'll bring along the famous map Diggs owned. The only handwritten map ever created that featured a ton of imaginary and mythical places surprisingly in the Southern California region. I guess that was a subtle dig by the prop makers...maybe noting how they hoped this ep would disappear into the mists of time too. ;-)

I found this on the side of the road

It's a stick called a dowsing rod. It's usually used to find water, but this is a *special* one. It was shaped like an albatross and I can hear it saying, "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink!"

Er... I think I've been out in the desert too long looking for a plot. Dammit, Mulder, where are you?

Beginning text must die!!!!!

I've got the key to the "lost" city of Aquarius. It's this nifty little crystal amulet that all kidnapped women of Aquarius are required to wear, just in case marauding Mad-Max rejects need to invade the city!

SMD

I agree.

Dreammasters was a worthless movie rip-off, because it wasn`t a movie rip-off in the first place. (Either of A nightmare on elm street, Dreamscape by Stephen King or Night Warriors, Death Dream and Night Plague by Graham Masterton.)

I'm showing a chart on a web of idiots.

From: Joey_Starr

DIE BEGINNING TEXT DIE!!!!!!!!

 

If you follow the pattern you will see. You see it's really simple(because idiots can not come up with complex ideas). Peck was an idiot. Fox are idiots. Universal are idiots.Sliderseth is an idiot. That's the threads. Here is how it all comes together:

Universal hires Peck, thus proving their idiocy. When you don't know better you try and hire people like yourself so you become a majority. Peck gets this episode together thinking he has finally found a way to steal an idea and pass it off as original. Remember an idiot always thinks hes smarter than everybody else. Fox not only pays for the ep but even allows it to air. This is because they are bigger idiots and figure that Peck MUST know better than they do. Sliderseth sees this ep and it changes his life. His new goal is not finding a way to masterbate, eat cheesy poofs, and recite all the lines said by Pebbles Flinstone at the same time(he never did finish that one), but to become the "master" of Dream Masters. This is a goal that even seth couldn't take long to do(becuse the ep is right up his alley), so his next step is to try and spread his "joy" to the rest of the world. He then feeds his ego thru this BBoard by prentending to be the other 2 people in the world that enjoyed this ep and the rest is history. But the missing link here is how does all lead back to Universal? Easy, sliderseth has been having an affair with one of Universal's male executives in exchange for tips on how to accomplish his first goal!

Hope this chart served to only scare you a little. It is afterall, Halloween season.

Hey Seth, you really are an idiot aren't you? I read your reply in this thread and really wondered who spiked your Ovaltine.
TTFN!
