There is a direct correlation between how much I know about the works Prof. Rabkin is discussing and how much I yell. Today was Jules Verne and I only muttered a couple of times. And at least one of those was him doing his conflation thing again, where he's talking about Verne as being in the tradition of Robinsonades, goes back to talk about Robinson Crusoe, and then announces that Robinson Crusoe demonstrates thus-and-such about science fiction.

Which, hello, it does not.

Favorite quote:
BUCK FROBISHER: Aha.
ROBERT FRASER: What've you got there?
FROBISHER: I found it. Found the brake.
FRASER: What makes you think it's the brake?
FROBISHER: It's written right on it. Brake.
FRASER: Enh. Could be a ruse.
FROBISHER: To what end?
FRASER: Something criminal.
FROBISHER: Are you insinuating that an entire design crew has deliberately mislabeled the key elements of a train?
FRASER: It is possible!
FROBISHER: I'm talking to a lunatic.
FRASER: Now, y'see, this is what's wrong with you, Buck. You discount everything but the probable. It's why you couldn't make that shot.
FROBISHER: Don't think that you can twist the knife. It was springtime. I had my allergies. My eyes were cloudy.
FRASER: Whatever helps you sleep.
