Oh, and another point no one bothered to mention. Apparently, this story is intended to be set in the same continuity as H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds. This makes it a completely different kettle of fish, doesn't it? With shadows of crossovers with other major franchises towering over its head.

Just to give people the benefit of the doubt, was the continuity with The War of the Worlds ever discussed as a potential objection? Or was it forgotten in the rush to include as much Magrs as possible? It was certainly conspicuously not brought up at the original induction debate for Vince Cosmos, and it appears to this outside observer that this strategy of withdrawing vital information succeeded then.
