  1. Todd, thanks very much for the link to my review. I haven't been around for a while, so it's good to see new reviewers writing about some interesting films and television.

  3. Thank you, Prashant, and good to have you among the contributors again.

    And you, Sergio...TIGHTROPE being among the relatively few tv series to have spawned its own fiction magazine, as I've noted here before...probably should put that link in...

    The Wild Olive.

  5. Thanks, Brian. Well, the slim chance a print will be discovered in Christchurch or Bratislava...in a melting glacier due north of Yellowknife...
