in which i talk too much
Jun. 1st, 2006 10:44 pmOK, I finished watching the BSG miniseries and decided I kind of liked it. It has some Robotech elements to it that I really dig. Heh. (Also, very amused by how the theme music is a rip-off of the V theme music. Clearly Ron Moore and I share TV likes.) But I have a couple questions. ( To wit: ) Anyway. I'll keep watching.
Supernatural tonight was an episode I hadn't seen, so I watched it, since It's New To Me (TM NBC). And was glad I did because hello Daniel Hugh-Kelly! I adore Daniel Hugh-Kelly, because Hardcastle and McCormick is love.
So Fear Factor is coming back in a few weeks, which, who cares, right? Not me, generally speaking. But it sounds like I have to watch the first episode, featuring reality TV contestants. Via Reality Blurred: An episode description for that first show says that "tensions flare and emotions erupt in one of the most explosive fights in 'Fear Factor' history." That fight is between Amazing Race 6 contestant Jonathan Baker and show host Joe Rogan. As a preview video shows, after a stunt, Victoria Fuller, Jonathan's wife, punches/pushes Jonny Fairplay, who was heckling her during a stunt. Joe Rogan then tells her, "You and your husband hit each other, that's one thing; you don't hit other contestants." Jonathan then gets in Joe's face, and then intercut between interviews, we see Joe with Jonathan in a headlock.
That pretty much sounds like Must-See TV (TM NBC) right there.
Hey GH fans, have you seen this? They are really pimping the teens this summer. And what the heck is Lulu doing?
Glarkware has a Bad Wolf t-shirt. The Vaughn t-shirt is also amusing.

apocalyptothon (you know, the comm where the members voted for Battlestar Galactica to participate, even though, you know, it's canonically post-apocalyptic, and, well, whatever) is now running and so I have a couple recs. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miggy wrote a brilliant Harry Potter story and aliaspiral wrote a creepy Lost fic. Eh, just go check out the comm. And now I feel like writing another apocafic...
Oh, so, the NY tabloids were hilarious today regarding the decrease in DHS funding for the city.
The Daily News article is pretty hilarious, too. And keep in mind these are right-wing propaganda rags saying this stuff. Hee.
Apparently the DHS determined that New York City did not have any "national icons" worthy of being protected, or susceptible to terrorist threats.
...
No, really. Statue of Liberty? Eh, no one knows what that is. The Empire State Building? Might as well be a Radio Shack. Times Square? United Nations? Wall Street/New York Stock Exchange? Psssh. However, the Jacksonville, Florida baseball stadium? WE MUST PROTECT IT FROM OSAMA! Since, you know, we never did catch that guy, did we.
