With the Galactica premier less than 2 hours away in my time zone, I realized I never posted my looney theory about the identity of the final Cylon, so I'm going to do that now (just in case it's revealed tonight). I should note that this is really "out-there", and I don't actually think this person will be the final Cylon. It's more like, "I think it could be interesting IF..." thing.Soooo......

One of my pet peeves is when people don't return their shopping carts to a store's designated cart return area. It's so lazy and inconsiderate. Is it really THAT much effort to walk a few extra steps to put the cart away? Do people really not care that the cart, at best, is clogging up the parking lot by taking up a space, and at worst, could damage someone's car? Not to mention that having the

Spoilers for Episode 303:Question/Issue: If Tranessica were "created" (presumably in a lab), why would a creation that valuable be raised by the likes of Hal Sanders?Possible Answer (that leads to more questions): It was a nature vs. nurture experiment. Would clones, with the same genetic makeup but in different circumstances, manifest the same superpowers? Would the circumstances themselves

Finally, here's my review of Tracker!Given the quality of the previous two episodes Whispers and The Queen, and given the preview of Tracker (Keller gets kidnapped...again[1]?), I had extremely low expectations of this episode.Anyway, here are some notes I took while I watched the episode.- While it's understandable for Sheppard to be surprised that Rodney would volunteer for a humanitarian

This post contains SPOILERS regarding season 3's episode One of Us, One of Them, which aired in the US on September 29, 2008.Prior to this week's ep, I came up with a loony theory regarding Tranessica: multiple "clones" (or septuplets, or something similar) that sorta share a consciousness. When one dies, the others absorb the dying one's consciousness and powers. (Or maybe only one does, like

Whispers (507): Not awful, but not great. I was disappointed that the characters fell prey to horror movie cliches, like splitting up, wandering off at the peak of danger, and refusing to follow orders when sternly told to stay inside and lock the door. Also, there was a Pegasus human civilian whom they met upon arrival, he disappeared for a while, showed up later, and then died horribly. How did

As the inaugural (and perhaps final?) Snark Attacks entry, I present a snarky critique of the premier of Heroes Season 3.Before I begin, I should clarify something: I don't dislike the show. I'm not a huge fan of it (I don't

Check out this Daily Show Video.This is a great example of why I hate partisan politics and so-called "news" shows. So, when Jamie Lynn Spears gets pregnant, her parents are pinheads, but when a Republican politican's underage daughter gets pregnant, it is a family matter? And Tim Kaine would've been less qualified to be a vice presidential candidate, given that he has been governor for more time

I heard last Friday that SciFi has canceled Stargate Atlantis.I am definitely not going to say that I am glad the show was canceled, but I am not surprised. Season 4 had some good episodes (Adrift, Lifeline, Be All My Sins Remember'd), some real stinkers (Quarantine and Harmony; IMO, Harmony is runner-up to "worst Atlantis episode ever", behind season 3's Irresistible), but overall was bland.

Further proof that Rock 105.3, the hard rock station, and 91X, the alternative rock station, are becoming indistinguishable: 91X recently bragged about playing the new Metallica ever 91 minutes, and Rock 105.3 just played 311 ("All Mixed Up") on the drive home.Yes...you are indeed all mixed up.

This was one of the better episodes of Season 5. Of course, that's not saying much: We're only 4 episodes into the season, and I didn't think #2 (The Seed) and #3 (Broken Ties) were particularly good.(Broken Ties provided closure for Ronon's previous episode with Tyre, Reunion, which was nice, but when the Season 5 DVD comes out, it's not like I'm going to watch that episode more than once.

Rush were on The Colbert Report last night! That's right - my favorite band was on one of my favorite shows! It was almost too awesome to stand."The band Rush is here! Either that, or a drum factory exploded in my studio." LOL.Click here for the full episode in the "full episode viewer" (which is nicer than the embedded viewer).

As in Diablo 2, the Barbarian fills the role of basher, using weapons and might over spells to wade through hordes of enemies. The first new class, Witch Doctor, brings to the table a collection of fire spells, curses,

I should've written this when the movie was fresh in my mind, but alas, I didn't. However, I did find an IM convo I had with someone the day I saw the movie, so I dug up the log. ;)In a nutshell: Too much Lucas, not enough Spielberg.There are minor spoilers in this review, so I've stuck it in the first comment.

I'm anxiously awaiting the finale. I usually crave spoilers pretty badly, but I've been in a spoiler blackout period since after Cabin Fever. (This is normal; I usually back off from spoilers close to a finale.)In preparation for the finale, I have prepared a tome of random thoughts about the episodes up through There's No Place Like Home, Part 1 (the pre-finale episode). However, since they
