Been widening my TV-Com travels. I've been visiting the page for The Six Million Dollar Man... which was my favorite show when I was a kid. Hey, every young boy needs a hero.. this was mine. There doesn't seem to be anybody going there. I put up a couple new posts, but my expectations are low. Lifesigns are weak on older shows during peak months on this site, but during summer break, I understand it gets worse. But if anybody is reading this, and is a fan of that show.. give me a holla on the forum. I'd love to have someone to chat with about it!
Speaking of which, I finally decided to at least take a look at the latest Bionic Woman.. the one that was cancelled recently. I went to Hulu.com and watched the pilot. Yuck! Now I remember why I wasn't even interested in checking it out.. and I understand why it was cancelled after 8 episodes. I left my review on the main page.. it's also on my profile.
I read an interview with Ron Moore, longtime staff writer of Star Trek: Next Gen, DS9, and Voyager, not to mention , of course, creator of my current fave, Battlestar Galactica (oh, will the plugging never end?). Anyway, he was commenting on the current Star trek movie... now in post production.. to be released early 2009. He said some things that i kind of found disturbing, and a little dissapointing. They also kind of made me loose a little respect for the guy, which I didn't think was possible. I started a forum post and poll on the Star Trek:TOS page on this. It kinda unintentionally turned into a long winded editorial, and halfway through, I changed my mind, and was gonna do it as a blog on my page. But my Firefox won't let me cut and paste, and I didn't feel like loosing it or retyping, so I just continued and left it. If anybody's curious, check it out.
Still watching X-Files with Sapphire. I'm only at the beginning of the 7th season (Hungry), but I'm still going to try to finish the series before the movie release.
I just started watching Lost. Never seen it before. OMG, the first 2 episodes were amazing!
Also, got from Netflix the first two disks of Alias, and Heroes first seasons. Nver seen them before either. Will burn for later consumption.
What is going on with Movietome? If you'll notice, the link is no longer listed on top of the screen with the other CNET services. Metacritic is there instead. The site is still active, though..which is the only thing even the Mods seem to know at this point. If you go to the help forum, though..and click on either FAQ, or tech support, and then go to the top of your screen..the link will be there.
I know the site has been on the brink for a while, but you would thing CNET would have the decency , not to mention respect for it's users..to let us no what is going on with the site. There are some like myself, who have posted reviews there, who would like to know if we should save them in case the site get's taken down. I guess that's too much to expect. Shame on you CNET.
That being said, I would really like to thank angelandspike for getting back to me so quickly with any info she had on this and other issues. You should be well paid for your efforts and consideration.
Well, that's it for now. Take care everybody, and have a wonderful weekend.
Peace,
Ted
