Agreed. I think it's superior to both of the other sequels.

Damned good idea.

One issue: there seems to be zero actual peril. Conclusion is foregone.

Aaaand that conveys precisely the situation with the ultra-rich in the USA today.

Which may be why MASH doesn't fit the list. Even when it first aired, MASH was still set 20 years in the past, during the Korean War. Being "in the present" wasn't part of its narrative.

"...'male reductionist SF' and all that pathetic nonsense..."
Who actually used the phrase you quote here? Or are you simply creating a straw man - or rather, woman?

Looks like vomit going down the drain.
You're welcome.

Not just the Elric books, but the entire Eternal Champion saga. It would go on forever.

Yes, I've long thought the same thing. You'd have the atmospherics of "Stalker" with the multilayered community politics of "The Wire."

But — since I'm not completely familiar with the Harry Potter mythos —is there an "afterlife" in this world in the first place? I know there are ghosts, but does that mean everyone becomes a ghost at death? What's the specific status of the afterlife in these books?

Toys! Toys toys toys toys toys!

Article needs a supplement: we should also see some of the Moebius costume designs.

I remember reading the action-oriented climax of Mervyn Peake's novel Gormenghast and thinking, "This is really boring to read but would work quite well on film." And in the BBC adaptation of the book, it did.

Yes, La Jetèe for sure.

Moreover, what was the need for the Matrix simulation itself? Why not let the human batteries just snooze? Why should Agent Smith and the Zion folks' interactions within the Matrix operate within the limitations of simulation itself? Why does death in the simulation equal death in reality? Why why why why...

"Why are only women allowed to..."

All I need to hear. Next!

Spoken like a true Beta-male.

But — remember the sort of violent antiheroes we have all over TV these days: Walter White, Tony Soprano, Dexter...

Nah. The astronomers will come to their senses eventually.
