The Secret World of Alex Mack
Apr1
I know, I know, who doesn’t love The Secret World of Alex Mack? I certainly do.
I remember writing down in my fifth grade planner what T.V. shows were on what nights. Who knew what was for homework? And who cares? The Secret World of Alex Mack was always written in big, bold letters, right under The Wonder Years.
I love any storyline where the main character has fallen into spilled chemicals, and then produces wicked awesome powers from stewing in some yellow ooze. Cool. Did I mentioned that this character was a child who fell in the chemicals? Yes, my generation demanded only the highest quality of entertainment. She could do lots of things, she could shoot electricity out of her fingers. This came in handy for a lot of things.
The best of all of Alex’s powers however was when she could turn herself into water, even though because of bad special effects, she looked more like a puddle metallic silver. Whatever it was, it looked awesome. That would be my super power, turn into a giant glob of metal. Done.
What does this story teach us? Bathe in chemicals, you’ll get super powers.
