Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I can't help but wonder...who are these strange 10-percenters? Ad execs?

I sometimes don't skip the ads, but that's because I'm not paying enough attention to know ads are on/am too lazy to bother.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I wonder what comprises most of the time? I certainly don't skip all the ads all the time, although it's very rare I watch all the ads for a show I'm not watching live.

In fact, maybe that's what the stat refers to. Though it seems very low.

Huh. I don't watch anything live since I got the DVR.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You know what would work for the advertisers? Encouraging the use of TiVos or DVRs with the capacity to watch two channels. Because if I'm recording something, I'm always looking to see if I'm missing something I could be watching at the same time. Hell, if I had the capacity to tape three things at once, I'd start taping two things and surf the third channel.

This does mean I end up watching with commercials the shows I don't care enough to tape, but skip commercials on the good shows.

If I'm home when it's on, and not busy, I watch. If it's sports, I really try to watch.

Unless there's a sudden manifestation of a life, for instance, I'll be watching Sci Fi channel's Friday lineup pretty close to real time.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's a group of the 5th dentists that don't approve of the toothpaste.

So it's a matter of getting bit by squirrels and such like, making one incapable of pressing the FF button?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Or sometimes your 27 pound cat has decided to sit on top of the Tivo remote, and it's just not worth it.
