One of my fave shows on MTV was "Aeon Flux" starring the femme fatale super spy Aeon Flux herself. In a future like hers people lived in one of the last remaining cities on Earth after a mysterious plague swept across the planet. The premise is completely post-apocalyptic and for that I love it. I don't love the idea of an apocalypse but it makes for good viewing. They had some cool technology in this show, including portals and inter dimensions, morphing, sentient inanimate objects, speaking through dreams, alien sex, floating bases, killer grass, and much more. It boggles the mind to even think about a future that advanced. Yet, can you be jealous if it followed surmounting devastation at the hands of unknown origins? Not really. I mean that might be one of the last cities standing so you would have to enjoy a limited reality even if it is futuristic. The show itself is genius and ahead of its time even now. The movie did a good job of representing the animation series. The only gripe I have is that Aeon Flux didn't wear her same scantily clad outfit she wore in the anime. I mean Charlize Theron did a great job but I wanna see some skin! They did the same thing to Daisy Duke in "The Dukes Of Hazzard". But oh well. Can't get everything you want I suppose. This show birthed "Reign" as well. Good stuff.
