Anyone know what movie they had Jo wathcing at the end? I was wildly guessing something like Saving Private Ryan, but I've never seen SPR so I couldn't know for sure.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Jon, it didn't look like SPR. I thought it was just generic documentary footage about modern special forces ops.

I'll be somewhat disappointed if it was generic footage, but maybe there were budget constraints.
Hey DX -- what's the tagline from?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

A lot of that sort of thing is PD, so that would be my guess.

I got it from a guy over on a baseball blog. I have no idea if it was an original or he he swiped it from someone else.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Okay, DX. Just didn't want to accidently spoil anyone on the far coast.

The Tivo thing makes me cranky. And frankly, Neilsens are based on such a small sample base (Farscape living or dying relied on less than ten Neilsen viewers) that the relative use of Tivo can't make much difference.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Is anyone else's programming box smoking monkey crack? I see "Eureka" on the schedule and get that sad-assed, pathetic "Who Wants to be the Next Comic Book Superhero" shit with Stan Lee's mummified mug?? WTF? Anyone know when they show repeats? I'm afraid to trust my obviously retarded DVR.

Facts like this only refresh my rage. *sigh*

The SciFi rep at Comic Con (can't remember whether it was BSG or SG) were very insistent that people not Tivo things, because it affects the ratings. I can't imagine how -- if a Tivo is recording the first broadcast, how is that interpreted by a Nielson box any differently than a human watching
Tivos don't click the button that says there's a person there watching. With people meters you have to register that you're there in the room.
And in Nov, Nielson is supposed to start reporting the average rating for commercial breaks during shows, as well as the show rating. I imagine that was what he was concerned about. If people are watching but skip the ads, the ratings will reflect that. (I believe they'll also include limited timeshifting data. Which may help show ratings, but probably won't do much for commercial ratings.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, the SciFi schedule was wrong (grrrr, argh). It's on now, an hour later. Not that that's so helpful now.
