Ted VIEW MOVIE WWW (4) 02:20 - 03:10

TED IS A GOOD GUY with some interesting habits. Wexley School for Girls provided the scripts and personality quirks. FGA, with Patrick Long's help, developed Ted's look and placed him in a house he 'rents' from his seldom-seen Uncle Vikram. Ted's hobbies include time-travel, gardening, levitation, and riding his bike. Deep down, he's pretty sure he'll one day rule the world, but until then, he knows there's a lot of work to get done. Ted's a pretty damn busy fellow.

THE MOVIE ABOVE is the final chapter of Ted's saga. He and his friends go for a bike ride, spreading solutions where few saw problems.

PREVIOUS EPISODES

Options

IN EPISODE ONE, Ted's out in the backyard with the goat, putting the finishing touches on his DIY time/reality/space travel booth. He fires it up and comes back riding a robot pterodactyl and brandishing in his hand the legendary Whip of Technology. Ted gingerly whips his pet goat, turning it into a new and improved robot goat. Strange, perhaps, to you and I, but more or less a typical afternoon at home for Ted.

Innovations

IN EPISODE TWO, Ted labours through the night at his desk. Realizing he's missing a few important parts, he opens the secret hatch in his livingroom floor and takes the escalator down to Magic Land to visit his friend, a nattily-attired Jellyfish. Mr. Jelly procures the needed parts from the Tree Of The Future and tosses them into Ted's backpack. After a few more hours of fiddling and code, Ted inserts the final chip in to the back of his Personal Strap-On Levitation Footware, and takes off on a flight to greatness. The test is a success.

Tech Skills

IN EPISODE THREE, we find Ted caring for a box labeled "Tech Skills." He waters it, serenades it on his keytar, and coos to it. One day, the box suddenly springs to life. Ted grows a pair real quick and jumps into the box. After quite a tussle, Ted emerges with Gigabits pumping through his veins and lightning in his eyes. The Man-Machine interface just took a huge leap forward.
