&^%$ you St. Elsewhere!

[Mr. Laser Beam]

If a crossover is one-time only, it's easier to write off.

If, however, two shows have regular crossovers with each other, such as Homicide and the various Law & Orders, then that does indeed place them in the same universe. I'm not aware of two shows that do this as often as L&O/Homicide did, though.

Long time ago I had a book called Tarzan Alive! that postulated the Greystoke family tree had branches that touched the families of Bulldog Drummond, Sherlock Holmes, Doc, savage, etc, etc... All the great adventurers of the 19th century were supposed linked genetically. Okay, silly, but I was young.

You might want to read a comic by Warren Ellis called Planetary.

Every piece of classic adventure fiction, is real, but suppressed and usually an asshole.

Loved that book as kid. Thought it might actually be real!!!! Though it includes more that just the 19th Century adventures but the ones from the early 20th as well, including mid Century creations like James Bond. All are part of the "Wold Newton families", named for the site an actual meteorite impact in 1795.

Meh, Farmer was doing that when Ellis was just a gleam in his fathers eye. Read "A Feast Unknown."

This is a Greys Anatomy thread.

Seriously.

Seriously.

Seriously, seriously.

After watching the last episode of the 8th season, I just have to say this...

FUCK YOU ONCE UPON A TIME!

Sandra Oh's character just rantshrieked...

"I don't understand how this keeps happening, I'm serious, I don't understand how this keeps happening, we keep dying, we're in a plane crash Mer, like RIGHT NOW... I can tell you one thing, when we get out of this I am getting the hell out of Seattle Mercy death and I am never looking back."

First half of that rant I thought that Christina was clearly about to figure out that she was in a TV Show and she was about to break the fourthwall, but then the second half subsided that as it became clear that she only beleived that there was a CURSE in effect on the hospital she worked in.

The other day on Don't trust the bitch in Apartment 23, the bitch eductates her new friend that a biproduct of clearing her mind post coitus allows her to proccess undistractedly... "LOST WAS PURGATORY!"

You need to cut back on the TV, the caffeine or the hallucinogenics. Or perhaps all three.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Actually I've got a reasonably annoying head ache from caffeine withdrawls right now.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Baby steps.

I've never seen St. Elsewhere, but the idea that half of TV is the dreams of a child (see, Cheers! appeared on St. Elsewhere, which means Cheers is a dream and Wings is a dream and Frasier is a dream and... wait) is easily one of the most fun and most ridiculous TV theories I've ever seen on the internet.
