Does anyone else remember The Tribe?

Go on, you know you do. It was this show from New Zealand and it used to be on Five, back when it was Channel 5 (which was prior to it being Channel Five, by the way).

Regardless, it was about a bunch of teenagers living in a world where all the adults had been wiped out by The Virus.

Anyways, in the first five episodes, we have (in no particular order): a tech geek, the heroine, a birth, teenagers joyriding in a police car with others hanging onto the sides (they have rollerblades on. Natch) and the introduction of LEX, who I always detested.

Does anyone remember it? I used to watch the later seasons especially, in my Dad's house of a morning when we stayed for the weekend.

I think my first crush (or at least first crush on a fictional character, my memory is fuzzy) was on Jack, loveable nerd and All Grown Up (well, more grown up) by season 3.

Ah-HA! That's it. I can now officially blame Michael Wesley-Smith (who played Jack, and was born in the same year as BetterHalf) for my love of the skinny geek boy.

All. His. Fault.

Not that I mind. Smart + Geeky + Hot = Very, Very Good Indeed.

Oh...I am So Ill it's not even funny. However, the ibuprofen (yes, yes, I managed to butch up and take two) has helped with my skin aching (why does my skin ache?). And I don't feel like I'm going to throw up any more. Yay me.

I've been lying in bed most of the day either sleeping or watching Robin Hood or watching The Tribe.

I LOVED that show. Actually, both of those shows (though only the first season and a half of Robin Hood, to be honest. It goes a bit downhill...anyway, the first episodes are a riot of anachronistic hilarity, and I love them dearly.)

And The Tribe has about fourteen thousand episodes, so you know, it'll keep me occupied for a while yet. Yay!
