            The two fill pretty distinct niches in the fandom, I think. It’s not as though Dexter the Head Alien drives a Go-bot to work, after all.

          For Me, it’s usually books that I wind up memorizing, not movies. for instance, I have recited the entire first chapter of “So you Want to be a Wizard” from memory. I think I could go farther, but I never got the chance.

      It’s almost as though somehow, the revelation that she’s not a virgin has rid Walky of his previous terror. That or, as I’ve advanced numerous times before, he’s an evil fucking genius and his “rictus of horror” face was his way of making Dotty make the first move.

      Well, most episodes of shows don’t have their own detailed wikipedia entries. Usually, there will be a wiki specifically dedicated to a show and with an affectionate nickname (this one would probably be Dexterpedia or Monkeypedia or Headpedia). On those specific wikis, they go much more in-depth on the details of each episode, because, unlike the original wikipedia, they’re not restricted by “must have citations in news or journal articles” or whatever.

PANEL 1: A man with spiky white hair and cream robes with a gold superman S on his chest, stands next to a blond woman wearing the same outfit. She holds a swaddled baby with a blue pacifier in it’s mouth. The man holds up a glowing green crystal.
MAN: Dear wife, look! My 18 months of work are done! I designed this one tiny crystal to hold ALL of Krypton’s knowledge!

PANEL 2: The man stands against a white background, still holding the green crystal.
MAN: AND! I designed it to build a “fortress of solitude” out of nothing but ice! AND! I designed it with fully autonomous holograms of us! They can answer any question!

PANEL 3: The man slaps his hand on a metal object next to him, which his wife looks on happily, holding the infant.
MAN: AND! It slots right into this interstellar starship I designed to go to Earth!
WOMAN: And you designed it with three seats, right?

PANEL 4: The man bites his lower lip, eyes wide in regret. His wife yells at him.
WOMAN: …YOU DESIGNED IT WITH THREE SEATS, RIGHT?!?
