I caught "Perversions of Science" the other day, and guess who was in it. None other than Jeff Combs, playing a deranged killer with "genetic purification" tendencies, and David Warner, as his "rehabilitation" officer.
This was my first time watching it. I was on holiday in Kerry for a week, and set the video to tape Brimstone, which is on after PoScience(as they're both broadcast after midnight, I couldn't be arsed to stay up and watch). Unfortunately, the Galway Races were on earlier in the day, and I failed to incorporate this into my plans. Therefore, I taped all of PoScience, and only the 1st 3/4s of Brimstone. Arse biscuits.
Normally I wouldn't bother woth PoS, but this episode, along with Combs' frankly distubing performance, made me take notice. I was wondering did anyone else see this episode, and what your reactions are to "what might have been" if Weyoun misplaced a marble or two and went the way of 50557.

While I haven't seen the episode in question, I have seen a handful of Combs' other insane man/mad scientist/H. P. Lovecraft roles. He has quite a knack for playing disturbed characters.

I saw that more than a year ago, some time before April, 1998, when it first aired. I'm somewhat of a Jeff Combs fan and got the info from other fans. The guy who played Gul Madred was in there? I couldn't tell. It was very disturbing and very odd, and I couldn't understand some of it. But I do remember Combs saying "I'm just a Goddamned changeling."
