For the Adherent of Pop Culture
 
Website hosting fees are becoming more expensive every year. Hosting fees used to be reasonable, but the market has changed to where the first year is fine, but after that fees start to soar, and changing hosts frequently is a tedious and time-consuming process. And, unfortunately, the site ads aren't covering it, they're only worth fractions of a cent in most cases. If you can, please consider a small donation to PopApostle with the PayPal button below...any amount is appreciated. Thank you!

If donations are strong enough, I will eliminate the site ads.
Besides the ongoing studies already progressing, coming soon to PopApostle, Space: 1999!

Didja Notice?

 

On Cover C of this issue by Cat Staggs, a T-800 is seen carrying a Westinghouse M-25 40-watt Phased Plasma Pulse-Gun, a weapon first introduced in The Terminator.

 

On page 1, the Terminator holds an Uzi pistol and an M16 assault rifle. On page 2, Resistance members are also seen to have M16s, among other firearms.

 

On page 3, time-travelling Resistance members plan on hitting a Cyberdyne Systems building. The address, spoken by the police on page 10 is, 18144 El Camino Real. This was given in a deleted scene of The Terminator as the address (in Sunnyvale, CA) of the Cyberdyne factory where the final confrontation with the T-800 takes place and Reese is killed. The building exterior depicted here also looks like that seen in the movie.
