any successful cyberpunk TV shows that anyone can think of?
Max Headroom!
Jayne: We was just about to spring into action, Captain. Complicated escape and rescue op. Wash: I was going to watch. It was very exciting.
'Shindig'
Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Isn't that Thomas DeQuincey?
You are correct, sir. They were friends (and DeQuincey may have been Coleridge's dealer, so to speak). Damn my confuzzled memory!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, they both did plenty of opium and wrote about it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
A couple of years ago, Plei found a seller on eBay that was selling off a stockpile of the Charles of the Ritz "paper white" compacts. I think we each bought two.
I bought... more than two. And the loose powder.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Would "Dark Angel" be considered Cyberpunk?

The show? I kinda think of it as Cyberpunk. Of course, Jillian snarkily said it was as if someone a filmed Shadowrun campaign...
And she didn't even see the episode with the dudes with the implants...

Would Dollhouse, or what we know if it so far, be cyberpunk?

A poorly-run Shadowrun campaign, don't forget that part.
And she didn't even see the episode with the dudes with the implants...
Oh lord. I shudder to think.

Wow, this was a great bit of reading.
In Search of Dracula: The History of Dracula and Vampires, Radu Florescu
I have a signed copy. We were close friends with his son (same name) and family when we lived in Romania.
Lucia di Lammermoor gets my vote as "Opera Most Easily Made Into A Hammer Film." Wasn't the aria used in Fifth Element from Lucia di Lammermoor? So there's a goth--cyberpunk axis.
Would Logan's Run count as cyberpunk TV? It's not so much the Mad Max breakdown of society as what happens after, but after they go on the run they seem to hit some cyberpunk.
The pilot movie of "V" was, but the series NSM.
"Everybody Loves Raymond," totally cyberpunk.
Poemtry: I actually think Wallace Stevens "Blackbird" series is goth, and not just because of the word "black." Is there a genre called "Zen Goth?"
I think some of the suggestions are more Gothic than goth, but as I happily (morosely) span both, I can't complain.

I JUST taught that poem in a PD on Tuesday. I can see only two or three in the series of thirteen vignettes that are goth. Like the biblical verse one (Haddam) NSM. But the only thing moving is the eye of the blackbird? maybe. The connecticut glass coach and the equipage, definitely.
