Episode 0015: Lepers are the new Zombies

3 comments

Posted by Kris Johnson on Oct 26, 2008 | 3 comments

The Secret Lair returns with a full hour of dual-Lair goodness. Overlord Johnson reports in from the Cleveland Lair, while Overlord Miller is breaking in the furniture at The Secret Lair West. Chris has discovered that Los Angeles has some very interesting quirks, but he and his family are beginning to adjust.

It is merely a coincidence that The Secret Lair West is located somewhere near the Angeles Forest, where fires raged in early October. Even if the source of the blaze could be traced back to the Lair (which it most certainly cannot), there is absolutely no evidence to corroborate rumors of a magma transduction conduit breach.

Musical Interlude the First

And We’re Back…

Musical Interlude the Second

  • “Technobabble World” by Rob Balder.
  • If you like the music in this episode, we highly recommend that you visit The FuMP, also known as The Funny Music Project.

Once Again We Return…

  • Kris likes Google Chrome. Chris is unimpressed, largely because it’s not yet available for Macs. Linux users, likewise, will have to wait for their version.
  • Kris blames Bridget Stewart for the marked decline in productivity he experienced after she linked to Fantastic Contraption. Build a…well, a fantastic contraption to move the object to the goal.
  • In upcoming episodes, we will speak with Mr. Kenneth Newquist and Mr. David Moore, provided our Retrieval Squads can manage a clean takedown.

Lair Keeping

  • Our theme music is “Skullcrusher Mountain”, by the inimitable Jonathan Coulton.
  • There are a number of ways to leave us feedback at The Secret Lair. Dot com. Comments on the blog entries are encouraged, as is use of the feedback form.

    So I’m guessing I’m the fourth listener who didn’t go to DragonCon. Thanks for reading the Parsec Award winners!

    I love the banter you guys have back and forth, even on subjects I already know about. It’s just entertaining rambling. :-}

    The stuff about Fringe is a bit dated now that they’re into the 6th or 7th episode, but I have to agree with Miller on his reservations. It’s…not as good as it could be, even with some amusing characters and bizarre situations. I’d recommend a show on the BBC (they have a budget now!) for a similar ‘secret agency investigates/combats weirdness’ formula, but one that seems to get it /right/ both in writing and special effects (vastly better than most of the Sci-Fi Channel). It’s got a sexy cast and just enough interdepartmental intrigue. And no, it’s not Torchwood, though it’s very similar. It’s a show called Primeval, about weird portals discharging dinosaurs, giant mammoths, weird hyperevolved bats from the future, instead of aliens. I’ve only watched the last two episodes but now I’m hooked and I have to go back and find the previous ones.

    Anyway, check it out sometime. It’s on Comcast On Demand under BBC America, which is how I found it. But there’s always the glorious interwebs to find the earlier episodes. Primeval. It’s coming close to the end of the first season, I think.

    I agree with Cobalt. Primeval is fairly good, better than Fringe in several ways, but unfortunately for me, something I can’t watch often. I have also found that Hulu has Sancuary and Eureka, in addition to older shows like Total Recall 2070 and Cleopatra 2525.

    BTW – in Fringe, the “organization” that the protagonists work for? The FBI.

    @Cobalt: True. It’s dated. This is because of some issued I’ve had with the Hyperspatial Syndicator developing here in The Secret Lair West. The episode was recorded a while ago, and the post itself was lost in the pattern buffer. Luckily, our Chief (and yet silent) Engineer knew just where to kick it.

    We’ll work on posting in a more timely matter in the future. Or the past. Depending.
