My friend (and fellow FOLC) spotted a book on Amazon called Krypton Talk: Lois & Clark Remembered, by Edward Gross, and we're sitting here reading pages from it and cringing so badly. It has so many mistakes. Not grammatical or spelling errors, but outright wrong things. Just a few examples: it says Toni Taylor was played by Farrah Forke, that Jason Trask was in 4 episodes, that Kevin Sorbo played Lt. Ching, that the final episode (with the mystery baby) was Toy Story, that I've Got You Under My Skin involved Lois bodyswitching, and just on and on and on. Absolutely bizarre. Like an AI explosion/ alt universe abomination. I can't even. True FOLCs, save your money.

Thank you LNCroxmysox!

For the warning, although it would have gotten me, personally, but far more for the entertainment factor rotflol

I want to use this opportunity and mention the episode rewatch. Maybe the "creators" if this Mxyverse should take a moment or two and join us in it laugh

That absolutely sounds like AI hallucinations. As I've been rewatching recently, I have been looking up things online, and it's amazing how often the AI summary not only has information that is shock competely and bizarrely wrong, but often contradicts the site(s) it links as sources.

There's been an update. The author posted to socials explaining that a wrong draft got submitted. He was very apologetic. The good news is, it looks as if the corrections will be made and a new version of the book will be out in the foreseeable future. smile

Call me a skeptic, but that translates to me as "crap, they caught me! better fix it or at least say I'm going to!" I guess we'll see if the new version is significantly better.

Yes, I do hope it's all fixed. Since learning about the book I've heard good things about this author's other Superman-related works, and he's generally well-regarded.
