Kaleidoscope on the air
editCould mention that radio adaptations of Kaleidoscope were aired by BBC (AT-1996), Bradbury 13, Dimension X, Shape of Things to Come (BBC, 1991), Mindwebs and Suspense. This from The Plot Spot and elsewhere. 97.113.131.139 (talk) 21:59, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
FULL OF SPOILERS
editThis page is full of spoilers. Don't give away the stories in the descriptions. Geez. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.96.154 (talk) 18:35, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- "Plot Summary" change to "Plot Summary with Endings" approved by DVdm. (see Illustrated Man section) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DVdm 130.76.96.154 (talk) 21:25, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- Not "approved" merely noted that it might be okay but others might object. If you ask me it is a technical avoidance of using the word "spoiler" while still achieving the same aim (so actually in breach of WP:SPOILER QU TalkQu 21:28, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Remove plot details of other books
editI expect spoilers for The Illustrated Man on its own Wikipedia page. I do not expect plot details of Something Wicked This Way Comes. Thanks a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asm5449 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Dark Star
editI don't buy the claim that the Kaleidescope story inspired the movie Dark Star. Dark Star ends with one of the protagonists surfing through space to his death; but the rest of that movie is a wry, hippie comedy whose plot bears zero relationship with Kaleidescope. I don't believe even that the ending of Dark Star was inspired by the ending of Kaleidescope.
So: I will delete the claim if a citation doesn't appear 'fairly soon'. MrDemeanour (talk) 17:11, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
And now I have deleted it. MrDemeanour (talk) 19:05, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
