...went to school for five years in Bratislava, two years to the elementary school, and then for three years to the "Real-Schule." During that period, I did not earn a single A--except in singing and in German. Of course I had an alibi. These were all Slovak schools, and I started to learn this language only at 10. Unfortunately, it is hard to invoke this excuse for mathematics, and I certainly did not distinguish myself in this subject, either...My grades were C's and an occasional...

Five months after Mark died, another T-3 went into a spin, and the crew couldn't recover. It was a lot like Dostal's crash, except for one thing.

This time around, Kevin has drained off the water to reveal the American West, post-nuclear war and winter. It's a surprisingly lush wasteland where every vestige of human progress has been destroyed--everything, that is, except for domesticated horses, line dancing, and Tom Petty. Oh, and electricity seems to have hung on, too. Wind and water power feed walled settlements where the remnants of humanity live like 19th century pioneers...

From a technical stance, one could argue the merits of the show.
