I think I would have enjoyed being a kid in the 30s and going to the serial movies like Flash Gordon that they had at that time. You leave the theater one Saturday afternoon with Dale and Dr Zarkov having being captured by the evil Emperor Ming. Zarkov is shoveling coal in Ming’s furnace room, the lascivious emperor has who knows what terrible plans for Dale, and meanwhile Flash’s space ship is damaged and about to crash into the jungles of Mongo! Then, the next Saturday afternoon, in a one hour episode, Flash, Dale, and the Dr Zarkov escape from Emperor Ming’s clutches, enjoy a brief moment of triumph, and then get into even worse trouble than they were in the previous Saturday!
…all of which reminds me of a bridge hand I played years ago.
What's the story with this strange bidding? Is evil Ming trying to lead us into a trap? Tune in to The Ruling-Episode 2 to find out.
