#4 is a hero, tbh. I’m more thankful for the super-quick no than the weeks of waiting and nudging to get a yes.

We had two consecutive “beachy” SCMS conferences in the late 90s: San Diego and West Palm Beach. And yes some of us did indeed hit the beach.

This one may require a check-in in four years' time.

41 Doctor Who episodes have aired so far in the 2020s. How many more new Doctor Who TV episodes (not stories; episodes) will be made and aired by the end of 2029?

Point Break (1991) might be the catalyst. Others: The Firm (1993), True Romance (1993), Enemy of the State (1998), True Crime (1996), The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996), Hackers and The Net (both 1995).
