dragonyphoenixI was looking up tv shows from 2000 and stumbled across this ...
When complications arise during her breast augmentation surgery ... Oh. My. Goddess. Really?!? That was part of the plot of a syndicated tv show? I don't know whether I should laugh my ass off or run away screaming.
So, Cleo is put into suspended animation, because we had that in the year 2000, and isn't woken up until 525 years later when humans, or at least some of them, are fighting the Baileys, armed flying machines who now control Earth's surface. Apparently no relation to George Bailey who basically took over a town by being super nice to everyone (okay, he didn't really take over anything) or Bailey's Irish Cream which could take over the world just be being super yummy if it really wanted to which it doesnt.
Apparently everyone lives underground now - because the Baileys control the surface - in a bunch of tunnels created by the "shaft builders". Yeah, I'm not touching that one with a ten foot pole.
Cleo wows the 26th century denizens with her philosophical sayings (many of which come from the 20th century popular culture). But happily Wikipedia doesn't give any examples. The accompanying photos of these future female soldiers shows that they dress like strippers which may explain why they brought Cleo out of cryo in the first place.
I think I actually watched a bit of this and gave it up during the first episode. Hmmm, and I have no laughing hysterically icon.
Edited: Oh my Goddess. Gina Torres, as in Zoe from Firefly, was in this. Feeling sad now.
