(...) The show's starting to grow on me. Like a fungus... :-, I was so excited to see it at first, and was bitterly disappointed, but it's gotten much better IMO. But yeah, the aliens, and even just the on-face prosthetics, are way cool. I'd like (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
