   Not [OT] for reasons expressed below...   
      
   Yes, I know we've mentioned and talked about this many times before.   
   and I know I seem to be one of the few who actually watched this whole   
   series when originally broadcast.  But, just once more, as I start   
   watching the  acquired version, I feel the need to express just   
   how BR it is.   
      
   In the first double episode, it is not long before the action moves to   
   Androids.  The main detective Hume dresses in a similar style to   
   Deckard, picks up a big gun similar to Deckard's, hates Andys when   
   they're not doing their machine programmed functions.  The street   
   scenes are like BR (plus big city screens), the interior decor is too.   
   We soon hear mention of turtles.  Then with Rekall, there is talk of   
   implants.  Rekall does android programming, so they are effectively   
   also Tryell Corp in this series.  And of course, we hear of these   
   androids attaining the equivalent of human consciousness, and those   
   with extended memory having a termination date on that extended memory   
   and not wanting to give up what they have learned - their newly gained   
   memories.  Someone is experimenting on creating a More Human Mind in   
   the android...   
      
   While this may not be the ultimate series, I still firmly believe it   
   is infinitely closer to BR than any other TV series ever made.   
      
   Although that does beg the question - what other TV series do you   
   think have some resonance with at least some aspect of BR?
