May 17th 2008 3:45AM If you really wanted to out-geek yourself, you would've gone with a no prize instead of cool points. But I think that was just me out-geeking you.

May 13th 2008 6:35AM I thought she got up there to sing mostly just to win an argument, which is entirely in character.

May 7th 2008 10:02PM I have the same concerns as Midnight13 about the momentum, but for the most part I'm just happy any time a not-super-successful show I like gets renewed.

Would you pay a premium to watch shows early? {TV Squad}
Apr 19th 2008 12:38PM I generally wouldn't pay, since I'm already paying for cable. But if enough channels offered enough of their original programming online (networks are already pretty good about this, but most cable channels are not), I might ditch cable. Then I'd have some free cash I might blow on early viewing.

Apr 18th 2008 2:47PM I'm not a scientologist. I think e-meters are bunk. However, what's the point? There are three categories of people when it comes to e-meters: people who believe in them, people who don't believe in them, and people who have never heard of them.
Scientology has gadgets and part of the word "science" in its name, but their beliefs include the supernatural. Some alien soul in volcano thing, if that South Park is to be believed. The scientific method ignores the supernatural. If you believe in an all-powerful God, it might be God's will that makes the apple fall from the tree, and gravity is bunk. Since you can never disprove the supernatural, science just ignores it.
So what scientific value is there in looking at a device that measures... whatever it is that it's supposed to measure? None. You'll be preaching to the choir for people who already don't believe in e-meters, you'll be ignored by those who do believe in them, and otherwise you'll be saying "hey, this thing you've never heard of? it doesn't work." Exciting television.

Apr 18th 2008 9:58AM IIRC, Sammy Davis Jr had been a JFK supporter, but when he married a white woman he became a controversial figure, and Kennedy distanced himself from the whole thing. Sammy felt snubbed by not only Kennedy but by the whole party, and I think he supported Nixon in '68. No idea if he stayed a republican after that, but there is some connection there.
