Does anyone know where I can buy some good old fashioned lye? I need to bleach my eyeballs.
In which people refer to Jesus, and yet prove, by their very existence and notoriety, that he can't possibly exist as a figure who has mankind's best interests in mind (from EW):
Speaking of Lost, this t-shirt TV Guide's Matt Mittovich is wearing sums up my feelings quite well:
The 11 Worst College Football Coaching Performances of the 21st Century.
Empire magazine looks at the Best and Worst eppys of each Trek series.
Extensive look (with clips!) of the Best and Worst death scenes from movies.
9 Resons why Dollhouse Season Two is a good thing.
The Daily Beast looks at 14 TV shows they want back.
i09 chats with Supernatural producer/writer Sera Gamble about whether the show, recently focused on an apocalyptic struggle between angels, demons and Lucifer, works for atheists. (Speaking as one, yeah, it does).
Between Lost, Terminator and Trek, there's a whole lotta time travel going on in pop fiction lately. Here's a scientific "primer." Also, Discover Magazine offers "rules" for time travel. How Stuff Works also has some goodies on time travel.
TWOP's Best and Worst of season finales.
Mike Vick to Seattle? Uh, don't think so. But wasn't Jim Mora Vick's coach - and supporter - in Atlanta? Seems he was a little disingenuous about his belief in the dog murdering QB back in the day. Yeah, thanks for that Jim.
Captain Kirk, NOOOOOOO! You're better off making out with a Horta. (although, add a "w" and it's about the same)
Dark UFO has started their season ending polls on all things Lost. Interesting and fun results.
Televisionary reviews (with spoilers, so beware) the pilot of V. Can't frakkin' wait for this to air.
Are these the 10 worst team names?
TV Crunch lists the 25 worst sitcoms ever.
Also, the 25 worst dramas ever. (Not sure I agree with all their choices, and surely there are some more fitting candidates, but I like their venom for the do-goody schmaltz).
LA Times chats with Dan Aykroyd about a potential Ghostbusters 3, with a younger generation picking up the proton packs. Both Eliza Dushku and Alyssa Milano are referenced (though both later denied any knowledge of it via twitter). If they're looking for a younger cast, how about:
- Alan Tudyk
- John Krasinski
- Craig Robinson
- Ryan Reynolds
- Alyson Hannigan
- Anne Hathaway
Oh, professional athletes, how I love your fauxpieocity (faux + piety + hypocricy). Check out this awesome commentary from Deadspin about Dwight Howard:
Dwight Howard. Congratulations to the Magic center for securing himself a solid spot in the alpha dog upper echelon of NBA superstars: His obligatory cash advances from fake-nutritious colored water products are already on the way, I'm sure. Howard's one of those guys who is difficult to figure out. On one hand, he makes a big show of being a devout Christian — going so far as claiming he only listens to gospel music, which I highly, highly doubt — and on the other, he had a baby with a team dancer (seriously, a team dancer) and leaves tickets for porn stars. I have no specific problem with this, of course — who would?! — but when the spotlight focuses on him a little more, you wonder if roaches might sneak around when someone flips the switch. But man, I hope not. Considering the Magic are likely to be down 3-0 by the time the next one of these columns run, I won't stick around long enough to find out, I promise.A fantastic look at the "moebius" theory of time travel on Lost.
Joss's comments on the Dollhouse renewal.
Trek scribes talk address some of the issues surrounding the plot. Also, they have a nice Q&A with fans at TrekMovie. And they also had a part 2.

I almost never comment on these, but it's certainly because I'm not reading them. I am always excited to see your potpourri posts...tons of great stuff. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the kind words. It's usually just stuff I run across during the last week or so that makes me giggle or provokes thought. Using Evernote has made the process fantastically simple, too.
