Thanks for posting this. I honestly couldn't remember if I'd seen it or not, and I still can't remember, but it was really good seeing it now. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons are sort of heroes of mine, and it was great hearing them break down what they'd did in that book, which was a huge influence on me. I find myself running from the influence these days, but still, it's a great piece, and I'm so glad PoG covered it. It's nice to know we live in a place that has had at least a little true intelligence in its television programming.
It's a neat piece and a bit timely with the movie coming out. Getting it in was the first time I had seen it myself.
I think the truth in how smart the show was is that episodes are still is watchable today. These episodes are pushing 20 years old now and while the references are out of date, the content isn't.
