I read his book Becoming Superman a couple years ago and from what I remember from that and the internet forum stories back when the show was on air it basically came down to a WB executive that was also part of PTEN, a WB spinoff channel, that started the grudge based off of some internal corporate situation and just never let go of it.

I loved LORD, I used to spend hours playing that and Trade Wars on a local BBS.

2003 I had a custom built full ATX tower with some parts from work running RAID for disk storage, and three cable capture cards. The box ran MythTV to record and serve shows DVR style to my modded Xbox that I had loaded XBMC on. From there I moved over to Plex for watching the recorded shows and ripped my DVD and VHS collection.
