| At least they'd be off to a damn good start with that idea, hope springs eternal I guess. Indeed; I find myself hoping that if TRON is reasonably intelligent and well done, that could make a compelling third ingredient to the mix. I suppose that's hope upon hope, though. I just really want Neurom... |

LOL awesome. Very funny.
I was loving the last season up until like the last 2 episodes, when it became obvious they wouldn't be able to answer certain things... Good show that just cracked a bit under its own weight.

| Johnny Mnenomic is unfortunately the low point for cyberpunk while The Matrix is arguably the pinnacle, if it falls somewhere in the middle I'll probably be well pleased. Ditto. At least we know that Gibson isn't writing the screenplay; as much as I love him, he's proven repeatedly that he just ... |
