Interspersed with pop culture references including clips from The Simpsons, 30 Rock, Fletch and South Park (yes, South Park!), it sets the stage quite well: unless you actually have LDS friends and family, you might be unfamiliar with what the church is actually all about.
Equally important, arguably, were softer, straight-up space fantasies: Star Trek, Barbarella, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Star Wars (yes, it's set in the past but nobody can seriously argue it was not a product of mid-20th century space fever).
And yes, it is set in a universe where a lone military spaceship is protecting an ever-dwindling population of humans from the relentless onslaught of a race of sentient robots.
And yes, it's set to fetch up to $2 million at auction.
But if math is what you really need to study, check out this "Super Base" rap video (yes, it's set to the tune of Nicki Minaj), created by students at Westerville South High School in Westerville, Ohio.
When Woody and new girl Jen tried to group-hug the dreadful boss Mr Squires and his new woman, after an increasingly drunken "bonding" meal at Christmas – yes, it was set at Christmas, and a far truer one than you'll see depicted elsewhere in the next week – glasses and chairs and napkins got all in the way; it couldn't have been more excruciatingly, wittily stilted.
Foolishly assuming this meant yes, I set about my initial researches.
Once they said yes, I set up, which took half an hour.
If the answer is yes you must do it, set the alarm on your smartphone and work on it for 15 (dedicated) minutes.
