  • For me, the hard part is how many silly episodes there are. When I think about the series, I think about the amazing action sequences and villains. But when I actually look at a list of episodes, I just skip past a lot of them. The "Jack needs new shoes" episode, the "Jack loses his clothes" episode, the "Jack gets turned into a chicken" episode. There's a lot of weird episodes in the series. When it's good, the show is very good. But not every episode is good in my opinion.



  • I can't find the quote now so I'm sure I'm going to butcher this, but i remember seeing some interview with Gibson where he said computer nerds at the time were all laughing at him because the sheer scale of networking speeds he was talking about (up to hundreds of baud!) were physically impossible. Of course, his total ignorance of computers ended up being more accurate than what nerds at the time thought was possible.
