Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The term* I use for phone companies is distantly related to (the word) "Ma", not so much the carrier.

Sorry for the confusion.

*said term is inappropriate for this forum, and polite discussion and implies a level of intimacy that is Oedipan.

As I'm watching CBS Salvation (Ok, I'm taking it for the team), this show had potential.  The Em Drive is the only saving grace.

Watching it too.  On episode 4.  I think it is one of those, that I'll have to drudge through.  Only one season I hope?

I'm almost done with it..  One season. Also, I doubt that Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon will pick it up or CBS move the show to All-Access.

If this show continues like it is, I am rooting for the asteroid.

I had a yelling match with a customer service person once that resembled that remark. That was about 12 years ago. I haven't had that kind of service since.

I think it was on Episode 4 that we quit watching it.   :shrug:

Is anyone watched streaming videos on Amazon?

They have quite a few SF movies on there. Also a new season of "the man in the high castle " is dropping this month, I think.

I've never seen it. Do you recommend it for a binge watch?

It depends what is on.. I'm not sure about The Man in The High Castle this month. A good show but depressing.  The last one that I saw was Oasis and no word if the show being picked up or not.

Yes, I watch the Man in the High Castle and Bosch on Amazon.  Pretty cheap and no-fuss, no-muss anytime streaming.  And, you can even download them onto a Kindle if you want to watch with no internet access.

Well, heck.  I enjoy Dark Matter.  I thought they were going in some interesting plot directions.

I liked the show and found the android to be the epitomy of 'character development'.
