That was such a cool show! Damn shame it got canned. :(

The shameful thing here is that this sort of insanity is great and fantastic and fun and interesting and entertaining WHEN it is part of a fictional story. When it's reality, it's a much different case...

"Brave New World" should never have been a manual. It should have remained a story... :(

That was a fantastic illustration of exactly the kind of thing that could go wrong.
