    Equilibrium

    Christian Bale is a future cop, dedicated to stamping out emotion. But he secretly dreams about his dead wife.

    Battlestar Galactica.

    Roslin trips balls. At the Opera House. Which really ought to have a ballroom.

    Final proof that Edward really is dreamy. Apparently.

    Lex gets hit on the head and dreams of the life he'll never really have.
