Well, the problem with this is if the director accidently forgot to save that digger lemming towards the end, and his whole cast would end up stuck walking back and forth infinitely in a dirt pit. Thus, the miniseries would NEVER END!
P.S. Speaking of lemmings, geekiness, and TV, does anyone rememember a 1985 Superbowl TV ad by Apple showing a bunch of IBM/clone execs walking off a cliff blindfolded? No? Death to you all under the age of 17!
Looks like being an exciting series.

Four hours worth of rendered still images, the only entertainment being wondering where the hand's going to point next.

..but PacMan is so much more than a mere thriller - it's a soaring roller-coaster of a tale, encompassing addcition, persecution, vengeance, struggle against almost overwhelming odds and even romance (in the form of Mrs. PacMan)
With the right director, writer and cast, this could be next years' 'Beautiful Mind'
We can watch a lonely guy run around punching codes into combination locks for four hours. Wait, on the other channel, they are showing grass grow. I think I'll rather watch that.

Yeah, isn't that the one they blame with starting the idea of 'raves'?

How else would people have come up with the idea of munching pills in the dark while listening to techno music?
I get to waste 400 more hours trying to figure out the sequence of buttons on my remote that'll let me change the channel and watch something else!
There are 01 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary, and me.
Imagine when it comes out on DVD...."tone" puzzles and "maze" puzzles just to unlock the 1st and 2nd chapters for viewing...
Is Wil Weaton in this show too?
