I wasn't born yet when it came out and only saw it on television around 2003 or 2004; I watched it as a new fan of Mark Harmon's (from "NCIS"). The effects weren't that great (neither was Harmon's mustache), and it did seem to drag a little in places, but the characters and the idea of power and society were so good - it had me hooked. Very intelligent series. <br /><br />And, of course, it had Alex Cord. (It's Archangel! Not dressed in white!) :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-88809970272775211802009-09-09T00:33:51.841-04:002009-09-09T00:33:51.841-04:00Valid comparison, Darren!

A society built underwater, a power-mad ideologue, an Irish assassin who takes care of the low stuff - I have to wonder if Goliath Rising was a major influence on the game.<br /><br />-Darren MacLennanDarren MacLennanhttp://www.rpg.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-52181591698078133942009-05-18T15:19:00.000-04:002009-05-18T15:19:00.000-04:00Hey Amanda By Night --

Wow.<br /><br />This looks amazing. I must search it out. Thanks for this review (and the great stills! The one of Samms is really odd and alluring).Amanda By Nighthttp://amandabynight.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
