Gordon Getty: Story
built 177 days ago
The negotiations for Getty's apartment were unusually frenetic. Normally, even the most accommodating editors won't commit to a story before a house is at least partially completed, because they want to be sure the project lives up to its blueprints. But the Getty name and watercolor renderings of the penthouse-to-be were all the leverage that Leavitt/Weaver needed. "We knew we could get more out of this one," Weaver says.

Getty has freely re-written the Joan of Arc story to suit his purposes. "It is true," Getty writes, "that church bells brought Joan's visions and voices, not that any were silenced during her trial." Getty ... softens the role of Cauchon, making him more compassionate at the end of the cantata so that the focus is on Joan not Cauchon. "Her story," Getty writes, "needs no villains. The hero, not the saint, is measured by the size of the dragon slain. The saint is measured by the promise kept, by the beauty of the vision, and by the straightness of the path."

The basic idea is that Flash’s dad, Dr. Lawrence Gordon (played in flashbacks by Bruce Dawson), was thought to have died in a lab fire thirteen years ago. But Flash eventually finds out that was actually sucked into a "rift" created between Earth and Mongo, and now the famously merciless dictator Ming (Life with Derek’s John Ralston, of all people) has begun using the rift to send robotic hunters after a mysterious artifact that Dr. Gordon left behind on Earth, something called an Imex. Meanwhile Dr. Gordon’s old assistant Hans Zarkov (Jody Racicot) has been tracing these uses of the rift, and reporter Dale Arden (Gina Holden), Flash’s old flame, is ... on the story.
