I've actually watched season one and am into season two now. I'm still not sure where it is going but the acting and writing are excellent. I wonder whether anyone else has watched it and what you think - avoiding spoilers, of course. I see it as a sci-fi idea turned into a social commentary though there's an underlying mystery much as there was in Damon Lindelof's other TV biggie, Lost.

I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.

this cinematic masterpiece:
The dubbed version is easily available on Hulu but really try to watch the subbed version - a lot of the tonal suggestions in the voices is lost in the dub which is perfunctory at best.

My wife and I have been cuddling up with bags of sweets and watching the full Black Adder on DVD starting with our favourite - Black Adder three.
Kamarling, I'd really like to read what you thought about the episode "International Assassin" when you get to it in season two.
