24, Hundred Baud

FaaQ pointed me towards the lost “24” pilot from 1994.

Kind of reminds me of downloading porn at a buddy’s house on his 14.4 baud modem back around ’94. We’d queue it up on some BBS to download a couple of pictures, walk to the nearby Mexican place for lunch, then come back a couple of hours later to salivate over his new acquisitions. That was how I was introduced to the concept of disturbing fetishes, of which he had many, whereas I had previously assumed that the only fetish was for naked girls. I’d love to go back and comfort little 14-year-old Sharkey, and tell him to prepare, because things were only going to go downhill from that point forward. *sigh* So many things that we can never unsee.
