The stories featured here look totally like Frankenstein freakin evil humans-gone-too-far syndrome. The implications of these events are right up there with bird flu, the rise in wheat allergies from GMOs and flame retardants found in the bloodstreams of conservative Canadian politicians.

Although I am displeased with the somewhat impenetratable shield around the TAL shows, I think this story shows that TAL can create stories from unspoken truths that are dying to get out.

Can anybody help?

This is the only episode for which the site lists no soundtrack. I desperately want to find out the song played during the closing credits...anyone know?

Thank you so much! I'll have to try Tunatic... is this how you found out?

[vrv1020]

YES!!! The song is called T.I.B.W.F. and is by a band called The Budos Band. The key, my friend, is a program called Tunatic (free for the downloading). Enjoy!

It appears that this music (not sure if it's your theme music) was composed by Thomas Newman -- not sure there, just going by what I've heard from him in the past. It would be great if you could give him (or the composer, if it's not TN) credit in your videos.

Thanks,
