I read the 365T entry but didn't look at the author, then I scrolled down a bit more and saw this post. Good job, I liked this one!

Right on. Glad you liked it. I got a little 'Torchwood meets the B.P.R.D.' feeling off of it with a little 2000 A.D. thrown in.

It reminded me a bit of Timeline, and how some of the experimenters didn't get put together right when they came back.

Was that the Michael Crichton one? Are you talking about the book or the movie? Admittedly, I think I blocked most of that film out. I didn't like it very much. I don't remember people being put together in the wrong way. Is that scene just in the book?

I remember in one of the first two Star Trek films, there's a scene where the brand new transporter malfunctions and mixed two people together. The scream like the dickens and then die in sickbay very quickly. It's a horrifying little scene.

Wait a sec. The injuries that his co-workers suffered are from a wide variety of different of extra-terrestrial, magic and technological attacks over the year. Did that come through?

It may just be in the book, I didn't see the movie. In the introduction random authorities find a man whose clothes are assembled wrong - not just sewn wrong, like parts magically slid around but are still whole. His hands have almost withered off, as if he had severe circulation issues. The autopsy shows that he died because his aorta didn't point into his heart anymore, and they don't know how he even lived to be 50-some years old. Then Anonymous Company swoops in and confiscates everything from the hospital. Cue Act I.

Ah. Right on. I don't remember that in the movie but it's a good intro.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

I heard they demolished it in the movie and the game, which is sad. I really enjoyed the book, you should check it out.

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

yeah, that's what I heard. I'll give it a whirl when I'm done the books I'm reading now.

I remember seeing a Star Trek: Next Generation episode where they went through some kind of anomaly field, and a person fell halfway through the floor of a corridor before the anomaly passed. The expression and posing of the torso was perfection.

In your story? Yeah, I got that they were from other traps. I was just mentioning that it reminded me of the time machine from Timeline. :)

[skonen-blades.livejournal.com]

I remember that episode. Yeah, I liked her posing as well. Pretty horrific.

Cool that you got that they were from other hazards. I had a moment there.

There was also a book called The Bad Place by Dean Koontz that had a transporter in it. He wasn't very powerful and he was getting progressively worse whenever he transported and he was transporting in his sleep. He'd wake up and a few bits of his shirt would be woven into the tip of his shoe and stuff. And he'd be bleeding and he'd have a pillow sack filled with rubies and giant spiders.

Now, Dean Koontz isn't Shakespeare but I thought that book would make a great screenplay.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

I've always thought it was weird how Stephen King and Dean Koontz are so similar, yet I can't think of any of Koontz' books that have been made into movies.

There's been a few but they've been sucktastic. At least a handful of the Kings are watchable. Maybe it's just a track record thing. Whispers, Phantoms and Hideaway (the filmed in Vancouver classic starring a young Alicia Silverstone before her ten minutes of fame a few years later when Clueless came out, Jeff Goldblum and a very young Jeremy Sisto before he went on to play the crazy brother in Six Feet Under. There was a scene in a club called The Twilight Zone in Vancouver that I used to go to all the time that's been shut down for years. I'm starting to feel like an old man here so I'm going to stop writing.)

I think I might just try my hand at a Bad Place screenplay.
