A Nazi uniform!


Good Lord; yes!

I know it's bad and wrong, but I just can't help myself.

Actually, despite the considerable appeal of Rufus Sewell, I've given up with this. Really quite boring

I think I'll wait for the dvd.

I loved it. The joy of was in detail. And i loved the whole idea of the USA being split down the rockies. The ending was a bit un nerving, but there is going to be another season, so maybe that will all work out.

Not *quite* as appealing as Mr Sewell's.

Completely different than the PKD novel, but that's actually good in many ways. The show is quite good and engaging.

I can't think of any PKD adaptations that are actually close to the source material.

I'd love to see someone do a good film (or even tv) adaptation of Ubik.

A Scanner darkly was pretty close. A very weird film to compliment a very weird , and very depressing book.

I'm enjoying the 3rd season, mostly because it is fleshing out the imagination of the book in new and unexpected ways.

Half way through season 3, loving it so far. The half hour recap show was well worth watching just to bring you back up to speed. Will watch the rest at the weekend as Mrs J has a heavy week at work.
