Reviews
Deep Freeze
It wasn't until the second time I watched this episode that I started to notice an odd parallel between Grant Walker and, yep, Walt Disney.
Bear with me:
-Grant had a team of "Visioneers" working for him.
-Walt had "Imagineers".
-Grant is dying and wants to extend his life using cryogenics.
-Rumor has it when Walt was dying he had his body cryogenically preserved until there was a cure for his lung cancer in the future.
-Grant had a meglomaniacle idea of taking over the world from his own domed city.
-Walt's original designs for EPCOT called for a domed city.
-Grant had evil robots do his bidding.
-Walt was the forerunner of using robots in his presentations.
And don't get me started on the *physical* resemblance...
