I missed the premiere of "Century City" on Space last week because I was out camping, but I caught tonight's episode.

Putting aside the 'weird, Ioan Gruffudd speaking with an American accent - wonder why?' thing... the show had two plotlines, one serious, one not so much (well, it was serious, but it had definite funny moments). The serious one? Had it been a short story rather than a television script, I don't think it would have been out of place in Analog. It might not have gotten published due to the sensitive nature of rape (then again, it might have - Stan Schmidt tends to pick items which are appropriate for the time of publishing), but the idea of it... very insightful, chilling, and thought-inspiring.

I liked it.

American accent!Ioan is .... interesting. I wish the show had stayed around for a few more episodes, though I found the ones I saw a bit more predictable than not. But I'll take predictable if it brings me Ioan. We need more Ioan.

Is that the show where it's like "The Practice" but set in the future? It was an interesting concept, but it was just too weird because there were all these laws in it that don't even exist yet, and I think people were completely lost, so that's why it was cancelled.
