Dangerous, Evil, Stupid -- Pick Three

The Plum Island Animal Disease Center, an isolated offshore virus research lab whose name you may know from The Silence of the Lambs, is to be relocated to the US mainland by The Gang That Couldn't Govern Straight.

So. Hoof or mouth?

How else will Captain Trips be released? "My life for you!"

I can't wait for The Stand comic book series to come out. Hopefully they will get Randall Flagg right in this one. He is a walking shadow according to the book, so don't make him as white as possible as they did in the TV mini-series. If he is supposed to be a very dark skinned black man, it is NOT a racist thing, that is just how the chacater is. Grow up, people, and stop looking for problems where there aren't any! (sorry for the rant, it was one of two things that the mini-series really got wrong, the other was that Trashcan Man was written as Bobcat Goldwait, so why not cast him? He definately was NOT Max Headroom! :-)

FWIW, Stephen King mentioned in the foreword to at least one of the editions of _The Stand_ that he would kind of like to cast Christopher Walken (heh) as Flagg. I don't think of Flagg's skin as necessarily being black, just that the character is always in shadow (or seems so, somehow).
