Nooooo. What happened to Schrab? Goodbye Scud, The Disposable Director.

Obama didn't have a six month ban on Iraqi refugees, either. You might want to point that out as well. http://www.denverpost.com/2…

Ohmygod…I'm an accidental cartoon superhero racist. It was Black Vulcan.

It's too clever for a series that named one of its sequels "The 4th Awakens"

Well….you can pick it up for a song on Amazon, but I will tell you this from memory: It starts off strong and awesome, coasts on awesome, rapidly makes no sense and dies ignobly in the throes of a clip show the Lumbly sat out because he didn't like where the show was going.

Or, in the words of noted Jamaican Adrien Brody, "REE-SPEK."

Buying the DVD set for Brisco County Jr. and the first two seasons of Sliders is a decision I will never regret.

Gradually, Colonel, I'm realizing that your taste in old, prematurely canceled television and my taste in old, prematurely canceled television are very, very similar

"And, now, listeners, a treat. Get up on the mic, A Deeply Confused Kid Rock."

Damn it! That's what it was

Phil LaMarr's indignation was a thing to behold.

And just like that, you've aced me on M.A.N.T.I.S. related esoterica. (I had no idea it started as a pilot movie.)

No, no, I know…It was a (deeply silly) business decision.

It's a network re-branding that would make more sense than SyFy, while also being more accurate than…well, SyFy. Plus, it would tell you more than whatever "The CW" was supposed to mean.

Well, yeah. And that finale was painful. But early M.A.N.T.I.S. was extra great. Roger Rees was there!

Also, Greg Berlanti, as Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law taught us, he prefers to go by "Super Volt."

Carl Lumbly as theoretical physicist Miles Hawkins? A black, handicapped hero who fucking ruled *and* had a kickass underground base with (I believe) a flying car? Sam Raimi as producer?

It's both of those things, and what MoonTopples got at: The show would be much funnier if they worked for Lex/LuthorCorp and kinda knew their boss was a prick

Agreed. I was mainly going off the ludicrous R&D lab setting, and potential.

YES. Which is precisely why I was hoping beyond hope they would smarten up and change it to LexCorp. The R&D lab in a patently evil company populated by well-meaning drones and unhinged scientists? Fighting superheroes? Ugh, it's too good an idea to pass up.
