So this is a really crazy thought, but what if Isaac (the author) is somehow supposted to be referencing Isaac Asimov, a famous science fiction author who's works include I, Robot. Here's why I'm thinking this: they already alluded to the fact that the authors are real people, with the nods to Plato, Shakespeare, and (the less than subtle nod to) Walt Disney. Isaac is seen in a fictional world with Cruella in what appears to be a 1920's-ish era. Asimov was born in either late 1919 or early 1920, meaning he would have grown up in the 20's and 30's. Other interesting things of note: besides science fiction, Asimov also wrote mystery and fantasy. Asimov is also responsable for writing The Three Laws of Robotics, which are commonly used in other science fiction works. Now let's flip the coin, and look at Adam and Eddy. We know Adam and Eddy like sci fi, with references to Marvel and Star Wars, and their writing on Lost and Tron: Legacy. So it stands to reason that they are familiar with Asimov and his work. If Isaac is somehow referencing Asimov, is it possible that Adam and Eddy are thinking about diving into some classic science fiction works on Once? Or at least something that isn't quite so traditional fantasy? Might we be seeing more of the Land Without Color, or a steampunk world, or an alien world? Interesting to think about indeed. Thoughts?
