Television
Posts about the crap I watch on the telly. At least it is the fake, scripted kind and not the reality, scripted kind.
The blog identity
Hmm… I had been waiting for my one hundredth post to roll around with the hopes of having something special to write for you, but that just isn’t going to be the case.
If you haven’t guessed, this is my 100th post (195 posts minus 95 Asides), which to me is quite amazing considering it came in less than a year and I’m not exactly a writer. But then, I guess that’s what actually got me to finally writing this post and maybe it will be something special, or maybe just different.
Back when this blog started with Walk This World, I told you I wasn’t a writer, yet, that’s what I think I found myself trying to be much of the time. Trying to write game, movie, music, comics or television *reviews* like I was some kind of pajama journalist/critic.
I suppose doing that kind of thing gave me an excuse to post something, but it is definitely not a strong point and that is why I have abandoned that kind of thing over... Continue reading »
Lost heroes
Last night’s episode of Heroes was written by Jeph Loeb. Mr. Loeb is a kick ass comic book writer, but also a former Supervising Producer on Lost.
Anyway, not only did the episode feature a cameo by the main Marvel man, Stan Lee, but this nod to Lost by Nathan Petrelli:
“I’d round us all up. Stick us in a lab on some… island in the middle of the ocean.”
A sly nod to all the island’s inhabitants having power like Desmond?
Lost: Flashes Before Your Eyes
Almost a week later, I have posted my comments on this episode over on Ed’s post at The Ed Zone. I don’t know if it is because of the brain cramp Desmond’s story is causing or the fact that he has the same 25 year-old microwave that I do…
Carl answers ur mobile
Our favorite ATHF next door neighbor could soon be answering your mobile or alerting you to an incoming call.
First, this sounds very cool from a technology perspective, but second, this is going to be friggin fun…
Man town
Boston.com is running a couple photo galleries on “Man Caves.” In our circle we call it Man Town, but it is the same thing.
The first one is apparently built as part of a DIY show featuring meathead Tony Siragusa. Gotta love the individual recliners in the media room.
The second is of reader submissions. Some of these are outrageous. If any of us ever have anything resembling some of these, the females may never see us again except for when we want some, well… you know… which of course, we wouldn’t get!
So, would it be worth it?
Lost: Not in Portland
Continuing my practice of commenting on Ed’s post with my thoughts about each new episode of Lost, here’s the first of the *Spring season.*
I gotta say, watching it on a larger HD set — I now have a 46″ LCD — is way better than the smaller 27″ HD tube set. Not only do I get a little more real estate, the colors pop way better. That opening scene of Juliet on the beach was beautiful…
Lost series finale
Did anyone else pick up on the throwaway line in this week’s Entertainment Weekly about ABC’s “news of a potential series finale for Lost” in their portion of the recent presentation to the journalists at the Television Critics Association press tour?
Cost too much money? Did the producers run out of ideas on how to keep it going? Thoughts? Rumors?
Mooninite mayhem
JPo spawned a little discussion over the upcoming ATHF movie and it reminded me that I had some other ATHF related stuff to post, but since I don’t seem to like blogging at the moment, I haven’t gotten around to doing…
Okay, it is more like the holidays and my rediscovery of my Xbox 360 over the holidays, but whatever. Maybe more on that later.
As JPo points out, there is a movie coming out in March and as Ed points out, it might be a stinker. There is a clip on the [adultswim] site to check out.
You can also check out the Mooninite Soundboard for some good Mooninite audio. I think some of this stuff is for the soundboard only as I definitely do not remember all these quotes/sayings from the episodes.
If you want to kill some time... Continue reading »
ATHF: Ezekiel
This one aired a few weeks ago, but I didn’t get around to posting it. They actually got two good ones in a row, with this one having followed Antenna. I wish I saved the episode in Media Center so that I could give you a screenshot, but Ezekiel is a child size version of Master Shake and is just too cute, to everyone but Shake and Carl.
Anyway, he shows up and you have to believe he is somehow Shake’s kid, which would suggest he actually got laid at some point in the past, which is hard to believe. The team takes him under their wing and later find out that, well… you’ll just have to watch it.
It is good and will be repeated soon according to their schedule. Set your Media Center or TiVo for it.

Mooninite massacre
Someone noticed Err or Ignignokt today after they had been in the wild for two weeks or so. Since this person had no concept of who or what they were, they cried bomb!
“Yes, surely it is a bomb! Look at him flipping me off like that!”
Now, I understand the concern for the public’s safety, but we aren’t talking about an abandoned suitcase or unassuming cardboard box on the street here. We are talking about little signs, magnetically attached to some structure. Okay, so maybe not such a good idea to affix them to bridges, but hey, if you get a good peep at it, doesn’t...
