What are you...

[Elessar]

eEureka? Did you mean to say Eureka, that show I'm always raving about on Sci-fi? Season 2 premieres tomorrow night!!

Watching: I just watched "Future Tense" of Enterprise on HDNet. It was fun to watch and it got my creative juices flowing to do some writing, heh. But it had that annoying little quip moment where Archer is talking about Vulcans and Humans procreating and they make it sound like T'Pol was referring to the two of THEM when she says something like "it is unlikely we could have an offspring" or something.

Well, this is the ridiculous season of AinT, after all.

Listening: Halo 2 soundtrack.
Reading: My Physical Science homework.
Watching: Nada.

So, despite recourse to the edit function, I don't always catch every mistake in my typing. Yup, that's the one. Hope I like it as much as you do. What's the hook? What makes it so good?

[Elessar]

Ya know, I'm not sure... I think it just caught me so much by surprise because it's a great sci fi show, in totally modern day, but really the meat of the show seems to be the characters, not the science. AND the science is well done, they seem to do their homework about things. I even watched them doing their math once when they were supposedly doing Quantum and they were!

Jack's definitely my favorite character, of course Allison's amazingly hot and charming as well. Zoe is cool because (not in looks) but in personality she reminds me of my first GF/kiss to a T, the way she's a troublemaker, does her own thing, but inevitably really is quite smart. I like Henry, he has a lot of the mannerisms of intellectuals, even the bad ones like being tired of being everybody's go-to guy (last epi). And I like how the characters are multidimensional, so Stark isn't 100% bad guy, as we saw in the artificial-life episode. I actually had Stark really grow on me.... Stark is the mathematician that every mathematician wants to be: Nobel-winning, and married to (or was) a gorgeous, driven, strong woman... not to mention lusted after by a few other women on the show. I like how the Chef guy reminds me of a walking, talking replicator, which is funny, like they found a way to make a human being as much like a replicator as possible by making him a Chef, but a genius, so he can make absolutely anything. And in a way the town is like a starship, where you don't pay for anything, because it's all one self-sufficient community.

I also like how the town has been around since post-WW2 days, so they run into surprises all the time in the form of abandoned research projects and such, causing mischief. Like the "death-ray"

Oh and Putnam, HAHAHA. "Space is time, time is relative, and all of it's money. Change the paradigm."

Well I ended up watching The Green Mile last night instead of writing like I should have. Extremely good movie.

Reading : The Great Escape (The Full Dramatic Story) and Book 6 of The Dresden Files: Blood Rites

Watching: Usually SciFi Channel (glad Eureka is back!), History Channel or Military Channel

Listening: the rain outside my window

[evcake]

I like the Dresden Files too. Also the Simon Green novels about the Nightside. Has anyone seen the televised Dresden Files? I really miss the Sci-Fi Channel.

OMG. I remember that one. I just LOVE Steven King movies. I think that has got to be my favorite one.

[evcake]

Watching: PBS - some Australian lunatics are recreating a 1907 road trip from Beijing to Paris. In the same cars that were used then. Pretty much off road.
Reading: Just finished Psion, Very good.
Listening: to the whir of the fan. This is Seattle. Its. Not. Supposed. To. Be. Hot.

Trying to watch: still BSG... but this lady just keeps talking and talking and talking to me like for hours she started talking in the middle of a BSG episode, then I had to stop watching and I know she's like just trying to help me with stuff and I feel so horrible, but she's like so pushy and keeps telling me what to do and what I do wrong etc and she just TALKS SO MUCH and she's still talking and I can't watch my frelling BSG!!!

[Chris]

Reading: Just finished A Dedicated Man by Peter Robinson And just started The Swarm by Frank Schatzing.

[Elessar]

Reading: still reading Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Leowen.

Watching: Soon to be watching the progress bar of my fresh windows install! and b/c my computer crashed

[Rigil Kent]

Reading: A War Like No Other by Victor Davis Hanson. It's a book about the Peloponnesian War (Athens v Sparta, 431–404 BC).

[Elessar]

I have a copy of The Peloponessian War by thucydides but I haven't read it yet.

[evcake]

Very depressing, that one. I had to read it in college. I have reserved Lies My Teacher Told Me and also A People's History of the Unted States. Should be interesting.
