Tonight on yet another over-the-air retro network (seriously, they expect me to pay for dross like reality TV when I can watch this), I was reunited with that episode of the Six Million Dollar Man where Steve and a posse pursue a family of aliens with special abilities, the patriarch of which I had remembered fast-forwarding time to flee, but turns out he was only creating an illusion of themselves headed in another direction. Mystery of almost four decades solved.
A year or so later I’d be smitten with the proto-Robotech Micronauts toy line, but as ultimately unrewarding as it may be to eBay another magnetic Force Commander, it’s the Michael Golden art in the Marvel comics that still astounds me. And thanks to speedy seeders out there, I can bask in their beauty again.
