The Six Million Dollar Man. It's the episode where extra terrestrials are controlling Bigfoot to gain world domination. It doesn't seem quite as believable as when I last watched it 45 years ago!
I don't know how I could have forgotten about this. Krysten AND Keeley!!. *wibble*
SIGH ... .. .
I am one and a half episodes in and it's terrible. The acting is surprisingly appalling (especially from two very well established actors) & whoever thought just chucking a bad wig & false beard on Felix to age him should not be in the makeup & effects business. He literally looks like a 34 year old man with a bad disguise on.
Same here. We assembled the things here in Hungary & they micro-managed relentlessly to the point of having a team stationed at our factory. Their processes, which they insisted we adhere to, were rubbish &, for such an over-engineered product, the components were terrible. Even the boxes. They held the devices so tightly, that they popped the NCVMs off creating gaps. Their "solution" was to colour the edge of the PCB in with a black sharpie so the gaps were less visible. Despite us telling them (repeatedly) the design was the problem, they strong armed us into an enormous amount of rework at a huge cost. Until, one day, one of their idiot engineers in Waterloo accidentally put me on CC of a report confirming the NCVMs were the root cause. After much hassle they paid up a large chunk of the rework cost. After which we told them to get lost. I've met Lazaridis & Balsillie. Had dinner with them too. Both were total arrogant w@nkers. & let's not forget these two utter morons.

I wasn't quite that involved. I had a temp job driving around a cute Canadian girl looking for holes in their coverage. There were a real lot. Actually the gig lasted quite awhile for that sort of thing. I was totally unimpressed (except for the cute Canadian girl) by what I saw of the company.
I subscribe to an email list by an organization that advocates for Reasonable Childhood Independence laws (ie, not calling cops on kids or locking up guardians/parents when they’re minding their business by themselves). I thought this was an awesome video countering our obsession with “stranger danger.”
