And this is the biggest of all. Just mention the idea of race and Dune or LTR and all hell breaks loose. One thing I've learned from many groups like this is that they don't want to talk about things that are uncomfortable, hard issues etc. Not just race, but anything that is serious. ---

I hear you. I was glad to see a New Orleans based show that didn't linger in the touristy areas. It made me homesick. So far I like all the shows and I love that they are very different entities. Hei$t is the glib, glitzy Ocean's 11/Italian Job type show while Thief has more of a Michael Mann

Can't wait to see. Now we need to have another poll: the worst scifi movies of all times; or, the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes award! I forgot Coolio starring in that crappy Dracula 3000! I was thinking of his recent role as a military leader (!) in Pterodactyl another awful Sci Fi original.
