Arachnids...Or Anarchy...Whatever...In The UK

Star Wars is adolescent nonsense; Close Encounters is obscurist drivel; ‘Star Trek’ can turn your brains into puree of bat guano; and the greatest science fiction series of all time is Doctor Who! And I'll take you all on, one-by-one or all in a bunch to back it up! ---Harlan Ellison The first thing I need to tell you today is that Mr. Ellison's views are strictly his own and do not necessarily reflect the Attitudes and Opinions of your all-time favorite writer, which would be me...I'm being told that calling myself your favorite writer sounds a bit conceited but what choice do I have? Some of you still don't get it, so I have to keep catapulting the propaganda. It's your fault, not mine...Or his staff here at XanderVerse Inc. A little more to the point, I really don't need to be attacked by angry Trekkies...UNLESS it's going to be like what happened at ComicCon San Diego in 1982, when I was accosted by six angry female Klingons. That was one of the most educational twelve-hour spans of my entire life. Klingons really know all the ropes, so to speak, when it comes to the art of pain and torture. Plus, I really love learning all about new cultures. #METOOAGAIN,PLEASE. The other first thing I need to tell you is that this is NOT a review. Of the Dr. Who episode about big spiders or anything else. It would be, but many others, such as @GreatMartin, @FayeHazel and @arthurchappell, et al, write great reviews of things like books, movies, plays, foods, restaurants, pubs and TV shows and do a great job of it and I'm not jumping in that shark tank. I got enough problems without my critics saying I'm just a fifth-rate @FayeHazel, @arthurchappell, @GreatMartin or...Well, you get the idea. And yes, my critics do say that but not about reviewing! I'm way too self-secure to be troubled with that sort of nonsense. The other-other first thing I need to tell you is that I'm out of time, now. Well, that's what my Editor-In-Chief, Style Manual, says. According to her, this is already two paragraphs too long for MyLot. And who am I to argue? So, this is the conclusion of my Not A Review Of Arachnids...Or Anarchy...Whatever...In The UK. Which was a really good episode and you should watch it.
