I got it! That tends to fit the same time period that my wife swore off Chinese food. I may have noticed an increase of methane about the time she started eating broccoli in heavy rotation.

Ah! I always forget the M1! Fair enough.

Your point is valid for BSG, but SGU was getting very good and Caprica had found its feet when the network decided to cut their losses. And there are others: Dresden Files is one I was very disappointed when I heard they were not renewing it. Shows do have growing pains and it is sometimes good to cut it if it…

Hands down IMHO.

Giggity!

Well since it sounds like a good idea and there is a chance people will like it, you know what that means. It will never happen or SyFy will only give it a single season to cut its teeth and then pull the plug once it gets good.

From what I can make of it is this (and I will state that this an educated guess; I could very well be wrong): the bean-counters at NBCU evaluate the cost and return of a show based on Nielsen demographics. Reality-based and non-scripted shows have far less overhead than a scripted show. Dialog is improvised, there…

Indeed! The NBC/Universal group wanted to cross-promote shows across all their networks. The most recent example is running the pilot of "Alphas" on USA, Bravo (Really?!), and UHD to name a few. A couple of years ago I remember Sci-Fi (before the "siffy" change) running marathons of Law & Order: SVU. Seriously,…

I am all for ending shows before they forget to check out. When the decision to end BSG after 4 seasons came out, I was actually elated. Better to go out on top. What I have a problem with is the crap that they pulled with Eureka. They gave the green light for the sixth season only to renege and say "Our bad." …

Yep, they decided to clear the schedule to make way for more WWE, pseudo-reality ghost hunts, and cooking shows.

Sweet Jeebus! We (all the Acura techs at the dealer) HATED those 5-banger bastards. The G20 5-cylinder was a dead nuts reliable engine. Too bad everything around the motor was less than reliable. We had a used 92 Vigor with a manual transmission that was a trade in. I almost bought it. I was new to the brand and…

Right on. I love the idea of the Defiant: a smaller-sized "escort" vessel that is so over-powered that it will tear itself apart from the inside out.

I needed a good laugh today. That said, what the frak? He does not have to register as a sex offender? Talk about a double standard. I hate hypocrites.

Since I purchased my Acura TL and both my Accords, the CD players have never been used. We either listen to our iPod/iPhone or Sirius XM. I think most manufacturers should option a head unit with no CD player. But someone has to be the pathfinder.

Ok now I am not about to blaspheme the Apes movies. My wife's family are hardcore fans. That said I actually enjoyed Tim Burton's take. It wasn't the caliber of Heston screaming at the Statue of Liberty, but it did show some promise. I really would have liked to see how the ending would have played out.

Anne Hathaway on the Batpod? Yes, please. Since I grew up near Pittsburgh, it might behoove me to take a visit back home.

Absolutely fucking deplorable. These people do not deserve basic luxuries such as oxygen.

As mentioned in my post below, I had both herniated and ruptured discs in that area. My spine got fused in November. Unfortunately, my lumbar pain is still with me 24/7 enough that it prevents me from sleeping comfortably. I also had nasty radiculopathy from the crushed nerve root between my affected discs. My leg…

Or as it was called around campus when I was in college, "Five Point Slow".

After suffering multiple bouts of kidney stones as well as surgery to remove one stone stuck in my ureter, I only drink water now. I have my morning caffeine in the form of tea, but after that is water. I will occasionally drink some soymilk or juice, but 99% of my liquid beverage is filtered water. I have been…
