Aeon=Good, Theron=BAD, by Pam

April 30, 2006

I saw 1 commercial and was forever turned off. As a fan of the 'Liquid Television' shorts and series of the same name, I find Theron to be too young, the actor too pasty and flabby to be Chairman Goodchild, and looking like too much money on FX and too little on plot.
