OT: A subject that must be discussed(Vanity)

Did anybody watch that horrible horrible miniseries called Meteor?

Never in my life watching B rated made for TV movies have I seen one so bad. The entire script must have been two pages and to make it stretch into a 4 hour movie they just redid those two pages over and over and over again.

Let's not forget the total ignorance of the laws of physics or the fact that they blew a 30 mile round meteor out of the sky when it was just out of our atmosphere. And then a second meteor had entered our atmosphere and they deflect it back out of the atmosphere.

I don't know if I am now less smart for having watched that series or not. But at least the chic scientist who kept getting kidnapped, held at gunpoint, seeing her chief scientist, chief border patrol agent, etc die was good looking enough to keep me at least half way tuned into the show.

If you watch network TV from CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, HBO or their affiliate cable channels you are supporting Obama and if your time is wasted by them then who is to blame? You know they spew out anti-American crap. They hate America as does GE (MSNBC,CNBC,MSNBC), Time Warner (CNN, ESPN, Turner, and others), Disney (ABC, Disney, Golf Channel), Viacom (CBS,MTV, etc). They hate America and they hate your values.

I am going to have to say I would sit through a marathon of Lifetime movies than watch this one again.

Meh.

I should just read and go to the internet.

Cox cable doesn’t hate America does it? Because my bill suggests they do.

You ARE bored, LOL!

And FWIW, I seriously DO feel my IQ slipping if I watch more than 30 minutes of TV a day. Don’t watch it much, don’t miss it. :)

I know there are plenty of reasons to justifiably hate HBO, but the recently did at least one thing right:

Taking Chance

I actually tend to only watch TV when I go to bed anymore but I was checking out some shows on Hulu and caught part 1 of that show and decided to watch the finale in the hopes that it somehow improved. Boy was I wrong.

We watched the first part... it was bad writing, bad science, bad plotlines.

OTH, you can watch Firefly episodes over and over again and they are always entertaining. My 13 year old was listening to some radio newsbit about another Obamanation and remarked “OMG, he’s turning our government into the Alliance, when will it stop!”
