Aired Sep 28, 1998 on Syfy In an asylum sick, tormented Jane suffers the constant abuse of her cell mate. Only when Jane is taken away to be experimented on does the cell mate and a sympathetic doctor realize Jane's true worth. CAST Mayim Bialik ... Rita Gabrielle Miller ... Jane Lochlyn...

Well, fiction about technology usually is all about technology that goes wrong, not that works perfectly as predicted. In this episode specifically, it's true the technology in question was perverted to extort and kill, but it also provided a bridge for the protagonist to have a glimpse of a...

Just making sure the latest episode stays at the top. I asked the admin to unstick ep #1 to avoid that pesky misplace ep in the top position.

Curiosity killed the cat. Ha, ha! :emoji_pouting_cat: No, seriously, the series was sold in four DVDs, and this is the cover of the first. "The Girl Who was Plugged In" appears as first. All in all it doesn't matter, since this is an anthology in which the setting, the city of Betaville...

Yes, Surrogates. Didn't I mention that or did I forget? Anyway, I liked the movie very much, though the concept starts falling apart if you look too closely. The original comic book is interesting too, though I didn't like the art. Well, Delphi is over ten years younger and very pretty. As for...

Good to know. Take your time.

Yep, and I'm one of them. I admit I never got that part and how it fit in the story. Your review helped make sense of that. Now I'm thinking of the final solution thought about by the detective. If the Blessed Virgin duplicated herself, her own self would become "ambivalent," meaning she wasn't...

So, now we can finally and openly say that the whole show takes place in Betaville, and that was not just the first episode. But that doesn't limit the show at all. Betaville is like the Simpson's Springlfield: everything happens there. Betaville means "the future" with lots of technology, and...

OK, what the heck is this doing here? Well, since this is a Welcome to Paradox board, I'll edit out the Catweazle parts, since apparently nobody wants them.

Aired Aug 17, 1998 on Syfy A telepathic detective investigates a hologram with a holy image. CAST Steven Bauer ... Det. Angel Cardenas Ben Cardinal Oscar Gonçalves Nicole Oliver ... Captain Brandy Ledford ... Sergeant Darcy Suzy Joachim ... Holograph of Virgin Mary Mina E. Mina ... (as Mina...

Gone are the days when the Sages of the Single Season would sit idly by and wait for the conversation to come to them in their own dedicated episode thread. Now the Sages go wherever the conversations are! (Sorry, but this meme was just too good to pass!) This week - WEEK 4 - we have...

Nice catch. Now I remember a few years ago an overzealous Mayor of São Paulo issues a "clean city act" in which all billboards were forbidden or something. It was madness and many people lost their businesses in the process. I remember the case of one particularly distraught businessman whose...

I'm following the DVD order. But that doesn't make any difference since, even though some episodes do have elements in common, there's no grand story arc (like, say, Black Mirror). So it doesn't matter the order in which we watch. I think this is the first episode produced. We can notice that...

Here's my review, point by point. The episode takes place in Betaville: This may feel a little unusual now, as stories usually tend to be more grounded, taking place in real cities, but back in the day it was common to set stories in a fictional country or city. This avoids some problems such...

I just would like to leave it for the record that, after careful consideration, I don't agree with this suggestion. I don't want to be restricted to not nominating British shows in Forum #3, since there are so many British shows I love, as I just demonstrated. I don't think there is anybody who...

Wow, what a mixed bag! Not quite as I remembered it. I have to admit I only have vague recollections of this show, and that I was impressed back in 1998. Not so much because the stories were great, but because it was a bold show whose writers dared to innovate and take risks with unusual story...

Good, because I tried to watch on my tablet and, ironically, got an error message. Perhaps you could send ME the link? (Joking!)

I just sent you the link.

It's excellent. Give me your email and you can check it yourself.

I think that could work and I'd be willing to try it. Just to be clear, board # 3 would also be for short-lived shows. Just for the record, personally, I don't have a beef with British shows per se and some of my favorite shows are British: Game of Thrones (and yes, co-productions do count so...
