I’m a Magpie
So Brian and I have started watching the American remake of the BBC programme ‘Life on Mars’. In it, Lisa Bonet plays Maya Daniels, the modern-day girlfriend of Sam Tyler, a detective who has mysteriously traveled back in time to 1973. So my question is: if Lisa Bonet is ‘Maya Daniels’ in Sam Tyler’s world, does that mean he lives in an alternate dimension, where the Cosby Show never existed? And if so, does Obama still get to be president there? Take that, Bishop Berkeley. |

For a while there, I taught classes on Classical literature, philosophy, and the history of religion at New College of California. I have an MA and an MFA in Writing, and live on a boat in Sausalito, CA.

I choose to believe that in any dimension where we would have needed Obama we would have had the opportunity to choose Obama.

Yes, as you’ll see in future episodes Sam Tyler is able to go to the past and prevent I Spy from being cancelled forever changing TV history. Obama is still president but Robert Culp is VP.
