Well, Amazing Stories was fun this week: we're all the way up to the 40s
in terms of the SF they're using.  Oh boy!  "Star Attraction" was predictable,
ruined by the title and the commercials, and derogatory to nurdly women.

Personally, I thought the kid was saying "Opa," instead of "Old Pa."
Opa is German "kid-talk" for "grandfather," and it warmed my heart to at least
198K to hear used what I call my grandfather.  "Old Pa?"  Pfeh!
