I know the commercial that he's talking about. It played a lot last fall, especially during football games (well, that's really all I watch, so maybe it played other times, too). It was for some sort of car, but I forget which brand (volkswagon, maybe?).

I'm trying to find it on our bookshelf right now. I know my husband has it...we just have a BIG library of books, and he's an uber sci-fi geek.

Damn, I can't believe we just gave our copy away. My husband had all these old sci-fi paperbacks and he finally decided he didn't want to keep them any more when we moved in April.

You have lost me. Are you talking about the multicolored pamphlet on the right hand side from "Back at Bree's"? If so, that's a drug pamphlet SEE HERE.

Wow! Good call, Samara!

Being a sci-fi geek myself, I know that the author, Henry Kuttner, was one of the authors/fans who was in touch with H.P. Lovecraft....

Lovecraft, as you guys probably know, crafted stories about the Cthulhu mythos.

Any Lovecraft fans know it's possible to wax at length about the Cthulhu "reality", but the wiki gives a good, relatively short shot of info:
"The Mythos usually takes place in fictional New England towns and is centered on the Great Old Ones, a fearsome assortment of ancient, powerful deities who came from outer space and once ruled the Earth. " ...

"Enochian" anyone?!

The Enochian thread is woven further because Lovecraft was often linked with *da da da DA!* Aleister Crowley. The link was usually ideological/professional, but a deeper link is that Lovecraft married one of Crowley's former lovers, who no doubt regaled him with tales (which Lovecraft fans think is at the base of his "History of the Necronomicon").

BlogGirl14, your running with Samara's find and nailing that book to one of the LG15 vids really makes it seem like the Creators are having fun with all this!

It may have nothing to do with actual, or main, plot of this series, but in my opinion it's great fun, anyway.

EDIT: I just read trainer101's post and good correction:

*sigh* ...well, maybe Spencer's reference was a nod to the Kuttner->Lovecraft->Crowley/Enochian link, anyway. Who knows?
