As a kid I watched "The Invaders" but to be honest I think the thing that made me question so much was hearing the nuclear siren in Slough being tested every two weeks. You just can't prod a kid with brains and artistic leanings with a big paranoia stick that often before he says "WTF's going on?"
I said "WTF's going on?" and then spent the rest of my life falling down the rabbit hole, so to speak. Sometimes you gotta take a break from looking down the rabbit hole or you go loco of course. Shame that I can't just switch on my TV and chill, but once you down that red pill it's no longer an option, everything requires that bit more thought.
Having said that with painting, drawing, tabletop war-games and RPGs, video games and all the other things I do, I don't have time for scrubbing my humanity away with TV soap anyway.
