@drdarke:disqus I watched an episode or two of that. The best, maybe only really good, thing I remember is the haunting music over shots of mist-shrouded farmland in the opening credits.

Bester is ruthless, sarcastic, and amoral, but I can't really go along with slimy, irredeemable, or villain without a lot of caveats. He is absolutely dedicated to and consistent in his ideals. He hates and mistrusts all non-telepaths (for good reason) and will do anything to protect and promote the interests of his…
