    Battlestar Galactica 2/25/05 SPOILERS!

    Some points: 1. Starbuck is NOT a very good interrogator. She never got anything useful from Leoben (the cylon) and evidently felt sympathy for him at the end. She's a pretty lousy interrogator so we're not seeing "Super-Starbuck" here. 2. Starbuck seems to be a good shot -- and that's...

    *Rumor* Sci-Fi Channel seriously interested in picking up Enterprise

    I'm sorry to say you might as well get used to hearing about it. The fans seem to carry quite a grudge and it seems like every conversation involving the Sci-Fi channel these days gets derailed into a discussion about how they cancelled Farscape and I've seen no sign of it letting up anytime soon.

    Greedy player, what should we do?

    Would it work for the rest of the party to 'buy him out'? If he's worried about the potential wealth concentrated in the Miracle scroll, for instance, would it work for the party to just come up with his share of the value of the scroll and pay it out to him or would he keep worrying about the...

    WB Toons of the Future...literately!!

    Yeah. I keep looking at those and thinking "That rabbit is going to give kids nightmares." Oh, and I can remember weekday "after school cartoon" half-hours on network TV in the late 70s showing Loony Tunes. They gradually became saturday morning and cable fare after that.

    Lost 2/16/05 Spoilers!!!

    I was expecting a big confrontation. Something along the lines of Sawyer saying "Ever been to {murdersuicidetown}, TN?" "I'm sure you know it. You were screwing around with a woman named {sawyersmom}?" and then handing him the letter and forcing him to read it at gunpoint so he'd know why he...

    Venture Brothers..Like it or not and why?

    That's sort of what bugs me about them. They're clueless and not in a terribly funny way.

    Asking Me For A Job

    Volunteer work is find, but hobby work is another one of those things I've been told not to put on resumes. The reasoning is that employers are only interested in things that people were willing to pay you to do.

    Holy Crap

    Uh, I heard some disturbing things about the privacy angle of gmail. Stuff about how they scan your email to profile you for advertising and that they keep even deleted email perpetually -- even if you delete your account. I admit I've never used gmail, so it could be really cool but the...

    Star Trek: Enterprise has been canceled

    I rather like Stargate. It does occur to me that RDA shouldn't be playing the special forces guy. With his sarcastic attitude, I'd think he should have been cast in some sort of civilian role -- perhaps a McKay type. I liked Enterprise when it was new, then I moved where I couldn't get UPN...

    Who's got HD TV?

    That bit about the 'Broadcast Flag' just killed any desire I had to go HD. I like my TiVo and DVR too much to ever want to go to a technology that will stop me from using them. I know they'll eventually force me to do it but as long as I can go with just a regular signal, that's were I'll...

    Venture Brothers..Like it or not and why?

    It's ok. I don't like Dr. Venture or his sons. Brock is amusing in an over the top sort of way. The Monarch is good. It's supporting characters like him that make the show worth anything at all. I did like the Race Bannon appearance.

    The Americans Only! Battlestar Galactica Thread

    I don't remember what was in vogue in the 25th century. I do remember that one of the running gags was that Buck was not into 25th century music at all and kept listening to 20th century music. This gave the producers an excuse to insert (really terrible) 70s music into various episodes...

    The Americans Only! Battlestar Galactica Thread

    I don't remember the disco scenes in BSG. When I think of bad 70s pop culture references from that period, I think of the Gil Gerard Buck Rogers show. I didn't remember that detail. It wasn't a bad episode either. Compared to some of them, it was an absolute gem.

    The Americans Only! Battlestar Galactica Thread

    Er, lets. I remember being 9 or 10 and anticipating that sequel so much and being so disappointed. I prefer to just forget it existed. Yes. Yes there was. It was a wonderful show when I was 8, but a lot of terrible things must have seemed really cool when I was 8. I tried watching it again...

    Still two years to wait for Indiana Jones 4...

    The villains should be Communists if they aren't Nazis. I was talking to a friend the other day and mentioned that I thought a great plot for an Indy movie would be Indy in 1945 Germany trying to recover the Spear of Destiny from the evil Communists who were trying to take it to Moscow as...

    A Feast for Crows Update.

    Actually, I think he did that after book one or two was already out. I remember reading book one and waiting for books two and three then hearing first that he'd only just decided that it would take four books and then later six books to do the series.

    Star Trek: Enterprise has been canceled

    I know that talk about a "Starfleet Academy" series has been going around forever. In fact, I think it was one of the ideas that was supposedly being considered for the series that eventually became Enterprise.

    How many countries have you visited?

    I'm boring: USA (Native -- Born and Live in Texas and have visited about 14 states) Mexico (One afternoon when I was about 5, I remember a few snippets. The most clear is being horribly shocked when some random stranger (the customs agent at the border) asked out of the blue what I had in the...

    Asking Me For A Job

    I was always under the impression that the resume was supposed to be all about your skills and how they qualified you for the job and the interview was for seeing if they like you as a person or not. Even then it is a shot in the dark unless you know how the person reading your resume will feel...
