Please Stand By

Busy month.

Go watch The Office, 30 Rock, and South Park.

Started watching Californication. Pretty funny series. Each episode features at least two sets of supple breasts.

2 Minutes 17 Seconds

I'd like to direct attention to ABC's new FlashForward. I just caught the Pilot on TV and the opening 20 minutes were awesome.



We get shots of a cop chase, a surgery, and a suicidal man at a beach followed by car wrecks, crashing helicopters, and explosions. The production values were very well done.

I'm worried this will evolve into story-telling style of Lost-light especially with the announcer saying "Get more clues about that tattoo online!". Opening a show with so many planted mysteries tend to be dangerous. If the writers don't know where they're going and get canceled after a few episodes, it will be a complete waste of time.

Hopefully Penny and Sulu will deliver a good plotline. The show is based on a novel of the same name by Canadian author Robert J. Sawyer, who has written a number of interesting 'what-if" sci-fi novels.

Slice 'n Dice


I'm gonna admit, I was doubtful season 3 of Dexter would be very interesting. Season 2 was intense enough with the Bay Harbour Butcher and Doakes, but I'm surprised by how much I enjoy the Dexter-Miguel dynamic.

I'm about halfway through season 3 now and so far things are pretty intense. Things obviously won't end well for Miguel but I'm curious to see how their friendship will take the plunge.

More to come when I'm wrapped up with the season.
