Gibson has a cameo in Wild Palms.

PAIGE: This is William Gibson, Harry.

HARRY: Oh, yeah... Neuromancer, right?

PAIGE: He invented the word "cyberspace."

GIBSON: And they'll never let me forget it.



Wow. Wild Palms.... I don't hear that one mentioned often (or ever). Glad to hear I'm not the only one who's seen this weird, obscure, flawed gem of a series.


This finally came out on Bluray not long ago. I remember seeing part of this in the early 90s and was trying to try and find it again forever but it was never available.

And to go with it, The Wild Palms Reader, which has all kinds of little columns, clips, and so forth. I have the Blu-Ray and the Reader sitting in my "COVID Isolation Hotel Media Crate," waiting for the day I test positive.


I remember watching this on Fox and being transfixed. I curious how my reaction to it would be today. Need to watch it again.


It was on ABC which I find very amusing as it means Disney is ultimately responsible for that amazing incomprehensible strange mini-series.


Maybe white dwarf was on fox?


It was very weird, from what I remember. I managed to track down a DVD copy a few years ago, but never got around to rewatching.

Drugs that make you see Cathedrals, a cult and politics intertwined... and a rhinocerous. LOL.


Holy shit, I was trying to find this series recently, having only a few memories of it. Wild Palms!!
