Great point.

And while I was aware of that, I wasn't aware of it enough to sort of call him on it, right?

Right.

Because he certainly knew more about his career in life than I did at that point.

So I stuck with sort of the more esoteric part of it.

But I did kind of get my revenge on that.

You know, I did a TV series for NBC called Dark Skies, and it took place in the 1960s during an alien invasion.

And we can talk more about that because that has other interesting things.

Here's the Sagan angle.

It had all these real characters in it.

So toward the end of the season, when NBC had told us, well, you know, you're probably not getting picked up again.

So just, you know, do whatever you want.

And Columbia TV, which was producing it, said, you know, do whatever you want, but don't spend a dime more than your budget.

OK, so my partner, Brent Friedman, and I said, OK, well, what do we want to do with this?

And so in our final two episodes, we introduced Carl Sagan as a character.

And our whole series took place at Majestic 12, the guys that were in charge of the cover-up.

And so we made Sagan the chief scientist of the Majestic 12 cover-up in kind of an homage to Donald Menzel, who was the earlier debunker, right?

Who everybody thought he was just... The debunker in quotes.

Yes, because he ended up... His name's on the Majestic 12 documentary.

Yes, it is.
