Flash! Ah-ahhhhhh!

flash-gordon.jpg I’ve seen several early reviews of the new Flash Gordon series, and they haven’t been as bad as I’d feared. In fact, the “worst” I’ve read is that it’s a bit slow in the set up. I’m definitely going to give it a chance. It’s not like I have anything else to do on a Friday night, so why not?

Following up on Ben’s last comment, yes, Eureka had the singularly most “Awwww” moment in television history this week. When Zoe told Jack her IQ was 112 (when it was really 157, but she knew his was 111), his response was so full of awesome that it was near impossible to not want to jump on screen for a group hug. I am loving this show more and more and I hope it has many more great episodes and seasons.

Reminder

eurekalogo2.jpg It’s Tuesday! Tonight’s a fine night to watch the quirkiest, cutest show on television–Eureka. It’s the kind of show that you can pick up on everything, whether you’ve seen it or not. It’s got a touch of romance, family love, and scientific goofiness. Oh, and a TON of wackiness. It’s on Sci-Fi at 9:00pm and really, you should watch.

Pointless

I have no real reason to post right now, I’m just testing out my shiny new Heroes moodtheme I made. It’s skimpy on variety, and not the best pics, but I’ll work on it over the next few weeks.

Answers?

The headline on MSNBC.com right now is “Search for Victims, Answers”. Answers? What are the questions? The bridge collapsed. There’s your answer. The media is always looking to make more out of something than needs to be, and I’m sick of it.

It reminds me of an interview The Today Show did with someone shortly after Hurricane Rita. They asked the man, “Can you tell us what happened?” My brother and I were listening to the broadcast on the radio on the way to work and we both burst out laughing. We simultaneously said, and you could almost hear the man thinking, “Goddamn hurricane hit, that’s what happened, you dumbass!” Yet the interviewer just had to reach for some drama. Yeah, right.

Here’s a novel approach to responsible journalism: Report the facts and stop trying to make everyone in this country a victim. Thanks.
