Actual Working Phone Number Given in TV Show

The number, (323) 271-9162, is a an existing phone number in Los Angles. The screen capture is from The LA Complex S02E06. The last time I saw a TV show give a non 555 phone number was one of the early episodes of SCTV.

Technobabble - A Definition

At least you are avoiding Technobabble. To me technobabble is like saying "Gretzky has the ball, he shoots, touchdown!"

First reactions to the pilot of Continuum.

Good Things

Tony Amendola,

A TV show that is filmed in Vancouver that is set in Vancouver not Seacouver.

Smoking/Smirking Man

Prison Suit, Prison Shoes, see Escaped Prisoner


Bad

The Genius Teenager

Several problems with this character. First it is Dawson Casting. The other technological and business. The myth of the lone inventor is long in dying. As soon as tech is near practicable, business plans are written, money raised, company floated, patents filed.

Super Villain Putin

Here is a man who deserves his own Theme Music. He is listed on TV Tropes as a real life Memetic Badass, where there is also a discussion that he is James Bond. This image was posted on AH.com by Alternatehistorybuff5341, with this comment, "I swear no matter how I look at it, Vladimer Putin looks like a criminal mastermind or a 007 Villain." others also commented.

He isn't one?

If you ask me, he looks more like a modern-day Russian Emperor.

...you're implying he isn't?

Building churches to spread his word. He is starting a whole new branch of Christianity.

Well, he is the reincarnation of St. Paul.

Well, he already IS a saint.

I know who that is, it's the infamous Dr. Nyet!

Web Comic Based on Warhammer 40K - Servants of the Imperium


Warhammer 40K is an exceedingly grim RPG from Games Workshop, see Darker and Edgier at TV Tropes.

The webcomic is still pretty grim and finds dark humor in the violent weirdness of the Warhammer 40K universe.
