Your exactly right. Sticking the characters together that overall, were my least favorite, is a very sharp move by the writers. In this new context the viewer is forced to look at them in a different way, thereby giving them a fresh start. It's already worked with Kane, who I was hoping would get tossed out the lock…

From my observations, the 2cd season of most shows tend to be a little disappointing. They either get back on track or else get canceled. But The 100 just keeps on getting better. Week after week I keep wondering how they can continue to deliver such a good product. This week was no different, another excellent…

I've been know to watch some real trash but Scorpion is where, even I, had to draw the line. I came to read the review to see if it's changed and nope, doesn't sound like it. Even if they were telling some great stories, I can't stomach the main characters, especially the Walter guy. Maybe kill him off, change the…

So far this season has been pretty good. Now, though, they've plunged us back into ho-hum territory. Kai, as the big bad, appears to be diffused. Enzo is still being Enzo and everybody figures he'll just kill the girl after making everybody uneasy for a while. For the first time since the beginning, I actually like…

I like it, but when you look at the other side, all that is there is like half of the 2 side rails. I would have thought that they could have completed the ribs and at least give it the appearance that it could be bolted in place as a complete (albeit miniature) section. The cost to complete the panel would have been…

A few years ago I would have gotten a good chuckle out of this news. Now, I'm a little intrigued by what the CW make of this concept. They've taken some of the most unlikely scenarios and turned them into good TV. Even tho I don't like to admit it out loud, most of my favorite viewing comes from the CW. Who would of…

Last year, I thought that Helix was the result of a favor owed to Ronald D Moore. It seemed cheap and without a whole bunch of redeeming qualities. I did keep watching, at the beginning cause I couldn't believee something that bad could make it as a series and then later because I was curious as to what it was…

Texas, a state that revels in crucifixion but any and all magic , pretend especially, is off limits. I bet if the ring in question belonged to a gay kid he would have been shot on sight!

Aw shit, I got a blister!

That's the shits, although it doesn't particularly surprise me. I'm glad GRRM's having a good time. For a long time I wished he would spend a little more time putting the pen to paper rather than hitting every con, signing, and interview on the planet. But now I realize that he's in his element and as long as he…

I recently viewed an episode of Horizon that delved into the placebo affect. What I found most interesting is that even patients who were aware they were receiving placebos for pain showed a marked improvement in their pain levels. In fact, after the trial was completed, some of the people attempted to buy and make…

Yup, and try and get a school bond passed in 90% of the USA. Of course, it was equally as hard to get a watered down health-care initiative passed. But for some reason people seem to support the millions being spent to having it repealed . Sorta makes you wonder where the collective heads are at, doesn't it?

That's what it's going to take. The ESA spreads the cost around and is beginning to do some pretty amazing science. I don't see any way that one country can shoulder the financial costs by themselves. That is of course as long as we keep killing each other and having huge defense budgets as a way of life. We either…

Let's see, Fox announcing that their making some adjustments to get the show back on track. Is there an echo in there somewhere? I'm sorry, but has any show ever pulled themselves out of the abyss with hands on help from Fox?

I think people have been beating each other up since the beginning, pretty sure it wasn't a 70's thing! But, yeah, Gateway is a very good read. In fact, it's one of my favorite series of all time. Stick with it because as it continues you see why it was and is so popular. I believe it's now 7 books deep. I also think…

I just picked up a couple of books by Tad Williams. They are from the Bobby Dollar Series. When I read your description above it sounds a lot like the books I just bought. I know nothing about this author, but I wonder if they are all somehow connected? More important, I wonder if I picked the wrong series to start…

I'm reading the 2cd book in Britt Ringel's - This Corner of the Universe Series. So far, it's been a pretty entertaining military space opera. The characters are, overall, a little stereotypical, but it's still a fun, fast paced adventure.

Yes it is. Honestly, I was surprised to see that it had been leaked. Of course it does make the wait for #3 a little long. Always a tradeoff!

The current model for television has died. But so far, the old men in suits refuse to believe it. After all, they don't know what else to do and there's a ton of money in play. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, have all become viable flat fee alternatives. People are disconnecting their cable, and it's scary for the networks.

Yes. I hate to recommend shows. But week in and week out, The 100 puts together some good stories. granted the first couple of episodes were a little iffy, but since then, its become one of my favorites. No sophomore slump with this one either. In fact, it keeps getting better.
