That's bad. > > ;) Mind you the same could be said of that surface show. I don't know what it is recently but a lot of the shows/screeners that are about really seem to have their roots in the 50's red menace form of sci-fi. Now watch Ross's head explode when I say that sort of movie does nothing for me.If the 50's alien movies where all about he powerlessness that America feltagainst the slow creep of communism what does it say about the collective sub-conciousness of todays US. Probably just that TV types have run out of ideas but look at the stuff that has started this year and was touted and you will see what I mean.
