Bad Machinery by John Allison for November 09, 2022

Is this the beginning of Jack’s Mod phase? You really need go back to the sixties if not earlier.

I love that Lottie puts “seventies” in quotes, like she suspects the entire decade was made up to trick her.

Who could tell the difference between the Real Thing and, say, the Fantastic Four?

Don’t anger, Lottie, Jack. You won’t like her when she’s angry.

I think Linton is right, even because the more Lottie talks, the more she seems to talk like that because she doesn’t like Colin at all. Maybe the “Night Hero” is Sarah’s boyfriend. He could be a mad doctor with his Mr. Hyde.

Classic soul and R&B is my ’50s and ’60s preferred pop music. I was there at the time. KDIA, Boss Soul of the Bay.

If the night hero turns out to be Colin, will Lottie still despise him? Will he put a perpetual smile on her face? Can she come up with the perfect plan to out the Thin Man, and get rid of Colin?

If it is one of them, they must be proficient in robotics for the strength shown. This Smiling- Dark-Thin-Man is scary and also a vigilante. I would like to see what happens if the police spot him and give chase! Now that would be fun and reminiscent of Carl Kolchak.
