Wow, how's that for coincidences. I just got through renting and
watching the last episode of that series last night. The ending was
pretty surreal, that's for sure. Still, if I was going to do it, I'd
make a spy thriller with lots of psychological bits and pulp science
fiction gadgets, avoiding any mention of bouncing white balls. The genre
has enough room that you could avoid copyright infringement fairly easily
I think.
