Arthur, King of Time and Space

6/17/09

Today I spent several hours creating a spreadsheet for Star Trek original cast episode and movie stardates. When I look for gag inspiration in the widest chronology gaps between existing AKOTAS-2 gags, which I've mentioned doing in this space before, the notation I use is based on the number of seasons of Doctor Who to date. Consequently I'm afraid I've been favoring Merlin over Arthur in the gags that result. My spreadsheet does prorate between that notation and stardates, though, for that segment of Doctor Who's chronology that has been designated to run parallel to original cast Star Trek. So I compiled a list of episodes by stardates, invented stardates for the four episodes that don't have'em (and for the one animated series episode whose stardate places it impossibly previous to the second pilot, which stardate jiggering can be explained away in-text by relativistic effects of traveling to the center of the galaxy) based on production order, and now I have a tool for setting such gags in Arthur's history. Tomorrow's gag will be set shortly after the imaginary AKOTAS-2 screen episode The Omega Glory.

This sabbatical thing is definitely having a positive effect on my interest in doing daily cartoons, if frequency and length of newsposts is any indication.
