Hmm...gearing up for the BDM, are we?
BTW, it's been said that the hoverdrone riding in Freak Nation was dumb, but I LIKED it!! I thought it was cool!!!
Where do you stand on that? Cool, dumb, or no opinion?

Hmm. I suppose if I turn my brain off it's actually pretty cool. Since my brain's often switched off that shouldn't be a problem.
Also - WOOHOO! Only 18 days to go! (For me anyway!)
Definitely Cool :) says FLF

I can accept just about anything she does. I'm all up for defending her if she wants to flash underage boys to get out of being held prisoner... you know... whatever... but... riding that hoverdrone was cheesy and really killed that moment in an otherwise GREAT episode.
Of *course* we're all gearing up for the BDM... 10 DAYS, oooooooooh.
ps... in case you're interested... an up to "Prodigy" in my rewatching of the series.
This was a great episode when I first watched it... but by the end of the 1st season it really stuck out in my head. Seriously. They made such a big thing about her meeting Lydecker while being held hostage... and then later on he's all "I made you out of my dead wife's DNA and you have her eyes, that's why I held your hand when you were sick that night" and gets all creepy on her.
So now the episode bugs me, 'cause WHY didn't he recognise his beloved wife's eyes THEN, when he did when she was a kid and then after when he has her in the hotel room?
Momentary lapse? Hmmm?
Fanwank *that* Chrisisall.
And don't do the "he *knew* it was her, he was just playin' with her head with all that "all my kids are flawed" mind f**ing. 'Cause we all know that at this point Lydecker would have done *anything* to exploit tactical advantage over those kids and knwoing she was right there next to him would have made him blow his stack.

"And your head's up your..."
"Hey!"

As a general rule I would caution about assigning too much realism to a tv show, and that includes the news, unfortunately. Real life disasters are inherently unpredictable, and our understanding of them is always very limited, especially early on.
The EMP thing is a little overdone. First of all, why would you do it anyway? If you had a 80 Mt warhead on a long range ICBM, why would you waste it on such a limited assault? Setting aside for a moment the unlikelihood that a terrorist organization is going to get such a weapon, it is far more likely, I think, that they would simply use as it was designed to be use, which would far, far more devastating.
Knock of wood.

*Turns away quietly, with the air of having said something important*
Yeah, that's it.
