This week's Numb3rs involved MMORPGs. Anyone here play one? I think it's kinda odd that the only people I know who do that are people I met offline. Given the size of my online social circle.

Had to explain online socialising to my therapist today, to make sure she didn't think I was a basement dweller. I might very well buy her a copy of Allyson's book. She says the only time the internet comes up for her professionally is when it's getting in the way of someone's life or relationships. I explained Allyson hosting me, and Random Acts of Paypal.

One day that shit will come up on TV.

As for things that bug--an episode of The Unit a few weeks ago had what looked like thematic consistency in a particular combat move, but the third time it was done differently than the first two--life and death differently. Irritating. Obviously not one of the shows where we have someone on set.

As for the ER stuff, well, I pretend I'm not obsessing about it. Which reminds me, I have most of an ep of that waiting to be watched...

I was pretty close to giving up on this week's Chuck as I was watchig it last night, when they had a shot of a Stanford ID and then an aerial view of the Stanford campus, and they were both actually the real thing. It's such a small thing, but it was enough to keep me watching.

I know a number of people who completely gave up on csi:NY when they did an episode involving a dog show where they just got it all wrong. (In fact, I only started watching the show again when I discovered I could watch it On Demand pretty painlessly.)

stop watching ER, ita.

I am going to miss tv in the near future.

stop watching ER, ita.

I'd feel bad. I think I'm the only person still watching.

Hey, I wonder if the strike would be a good time to wander among the writers and suggest that they be more accurate in their representations of various communities and professions.

yes we should totally do this. Does anybody know what shows are filmed at Sony studios in Culver City?

It's physics, people, not voodoo.

I get the same way about math stuff on most TV. It's math, not magic! It can't solve everything, and it can't explain everything.

(My issue with most of the issues of Numb3rs that I've seen is that he's able to pull way too much information out of a tiny amount of data.)

We could get Allyson to slip notes in the goodie bags.

"Just a word about unconsciousness--it's not like a switch with a timer--if you choke someone out, you may have as little as a minute before they come to."

Stuff like that. I mean, while they're a captive audience, so to speak.

I was surprised this week-I thought they did pretty well, except for the software running on the cameras that could extract and solve clues. CSI made my eyes roll with their patent zoom in for more detail thing this week. Removing noise 255% will not make the writing on a cap that legible. It's not like there was a lot of noise in the image.

Bahahaahah... well I had an invite to bring my baby to strike on Monday. I could do that.

Oh man. I just finished watching this week's FNL. I am wickedly in love with the Taylors! Tami was fabulous this week. And so how I feel some mornings. It's a good saturday night when I am home alone, with the baby on my lap, catching up on TV.

I'm feeling vaguely ill. I ate three bagels today, so maybe I've OD'd on carbs?
