How do you know everything on your 5 channels sucks if you don't watch them?

Call blind faith.   ... or lack thereof in the creativity of network TV

It all sucked 2 yrs ago, I doubt it's changed.

The one exception I've found is The Office, on a tip from a friend I've watched a few episodes of it on Hulu, it's pretty good.  Does it still count as watching TV even though it's on my computer monitor?  I'd hate to break my streak on a technicality. :D

I used to watch PBS occasionally, still would, but receiving it is spotty at best where I live now.  If I had cable or a satellite dish I could maybe get into things like Discovery and the History channel, but I can't justify the cost for me.

I'm partial to Caprica right now, have to see where it goes.  My concern right now, given the BSG series and what I've seen of Carpica so far, is the entire show will be beating heavily on the "be nice to robots" drum/plot.  It's a good message, but a bit of a dead horse, especialy if they're gonna beat an entire new series out of it.

Lost is what I'm gearing up for now.  It's final season FINALY RETURNS (after making us wait, what? 9 months?) this week and the first episode is titled "LA X" (yes, with a space... it tickles the brain).  We last left off with the hot blonde chick going back in time with a few of the other major characters, falling down a hole to her sure-death, but surprise ends up barely living and nuking the island WITH A ROCK!...  how can you not love this show?

Spartacus......

episode 1 says it's written by high school kids with WAAAAAAAY too many romantic tendancies (I bet the lead writer goes for "long walks on the beach") and the CGI dept have never actually seen real blood.  The bit where he's explaining to his woman he's off to fight the foe....good grief, someone's seen 300 too many times.  And honestly, the bit where she gets dragged off....talk about over acted.  "NOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". Reminded me of that bit in Austin Powers where the fella gets run over by the steamroller. 

Not entirely sure if I'm going to watch the other half of the pilot, think I'm gonna have to be pretty bored.

Lucy Lawless gets her kit off and goes nympho though swoop :D

Just watched episode 3 of Spartacus. They have found a nice balance with the CGI in the battle scenes. The graphic novel style works very well with the storyline. This is evolving into a great series!

Lucy Lawless still is still smokin' hawt.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
