The sad part is how much they could have done with the IP.  Then again, it was the '90s...

Be interesting to see a World of Darkness show these days.
I don't think the show had enough time to be fully developed.  It might have never turned into anything, but I'm not sure.  IIRC the main reason it got cancelled is cause the main dude got killed in a motorcycle accident.

Also the Gangrel chick was hot as fuck.

I just remembered the classic case of a show cancelled too early:

Police Squad!

Those are six really funny episodes of comedy...

:thumbsup:

That suffered from being out before widespread adoption of the VCR.  There are so many jokes, and they come so fast that each episode benefits from being watched again.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I actually think that half of Twin Peaks season 2 is at least as good as the first season, with the big reveal of who killed Laura Palmer being one of my favorite episodes of all time.  The drop in quality after that is, however, astonishing.

Ooooh, good one.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

FYI, Firefly was incredibly boring.

And Rome should have had more seasons.

I am not surprised it bored you.  You were almost certainly not part of its target demographic.  Snappy dialogue doesn't translate well.  Native English speakers will be able to get a lot more out of it.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
