Shows that sux! X-files, Andromeda,BSG(original), Earth: Final Conflict. Shows that don't sux: Everything else! Having watched some of everything listed in the poll, as well as mentioned in the discussion, I am a SciFi Fanatic! I've been disappointed, disillusioned, dumbfounded, dismayed & disgusted. Equally, I've been pleased, surprised, etc... (Lost my place in the thesaurs.)

Geena Davis in "The Long Kiss Goodbye", where she fulfilled her promise to the bad guy, the he would "Die screaming!" Final Destination, blond girl, fast bus! Still causes me to laugh. Under Siege 2, where the bad guy, (name unknown played in a movie as Lenny Bruce), lost his grip when Steven Seagal closed the copter door. Dawn of the dead, (remake), where the nurse plugs the spoiled rich guy between the eyes. Also Night of the living dead, (remake), where the Barbra character shoots Mr. Selfish in the head after a long night of terror. More if I can think of them!

If I understand your original premise, the question is "would you be willing to take technological enhancement to increase your perception of beauty?" My answer is "Sure!"

2 cents worth. Human institutions, almost all human institutions look good on paper. It is the "Human's" involvement that corrupts the goals of institutions!

..if you're not me.

There is nothing constructive to be done! Whatever the diagnosis of this childs state is. Based on our, (humanities), current level on knowledge of mental defects is too primitive. This youngster and all around him, are doomed to enjoy the experience of terror, lost. Followed by blame, recriminations, accusations, protestations, righteous indignations, self serving useless observations. And then the politicians get involved! When all is said and done, he will be sentence to death and 18 years later, executed.

I was at work. Blissfully assuming that the first plane was a fluke! By the second one, I knew. And suffered a sinking feeling to this day.
