Loving this! So glad you are doing deep dives into pop culture tropes once again -HG Wells may have created the first supervillain with the Invisible Man. He was a mad scientist who experimented on himself, went on a rampage, recruited a henchman, and chose to extort people with his powers -Elizabeth Moss should have just flailed into every corner until she found the Invisible Man and then beat on him

Man this brings me back. I remember that show with the computer title or whatever. In age, we have grown together, and in sorrows, addictions and other things too. You Swaim have been my biggest internet influence. After Hours was brilliant and I miss it dearly.
