First, his sister-in-law refuses to help him get out of Australia, thinking that his little drop out of the world was caused by a five-year long drug trip.
::laughs:: That wouldn't be too unrealistic, considering that Joel may have been high the entire time he was on the show. Common rumor has it, anyway. I certainly don't take it as canon, but the mental picture of Joel toking up in a closet after a bad day on the SOL amuses me.
The whole thing sounds like taking the plot concept too seriously has gotten out of hand. Aside the fact, of course, that it completely ignores canon and should be labeled an AU. I mean, not that I haven't wanted to ignore Sci-Fi era canon, just because Pearl was... ugh. No. I will not get into my Sci-Fi rant, dammit!
It's not that bad an idea, though. I mean, aside the neice and the rampant potential for angst. I'm sure the execution made it bad, though. At least, however, it's faintly more plausible than TechnoServo's entire psycho run.
Huh. Almost wish it was still online. I thought I had a bead on pretty much every piece of MST3K fanfic there is on the web.

Thanks for the summary.
