Other smaller things worth watching are #DarkMatter and #VagrantQueen, especially if one liked #Firefly. Likewise #Farscape, although again this is far too long for one evening, especially if one liked the Stargates and some of the universe building in Riddick.

#SpacePrecinct is forgettable, although the #AlienNation series was alright (as was the #RoboCop telly spin-off, apparently, but I never saw it); but #MaxHeadroom and #DarkAngel are better if one is looking for near-future urban stuff.

Definitely watch Dark Angel if you like the Hitman and Salt movies and want to see how a telly series with #JessicaAlba got there years before and explored the ideas in a lot more depth.

There were 21st C remakes of #BionicWoman and #TheInvisibleMan that are under-remembered. For the latter: Of course the USPS has a secret service. (-:

A Max Headroom in Every Terminal!

"I took my favorite video loop of Max, and extracted the frames. Then I converted each frame to ascii, and wrote the whole thing to a big array. The script just iterates through the array and prints each frame. There are no external dependencies - it is all just one big file with the data in-line."

Paranoimia is the only thing that I remember about The Art Of Noise, and (having just looked it up on YouTube) it turns out that I do not remember it at all. Which is odd, because I thought that I *did* remember The Art Of Noise.

I must have been conflating them with someone else.
