I wonder if the hate on for either brother is really more a symptom of debatefail and civilityfail. The fact that many feel it necessary to argue a point without acknowledging certain truths and passion in the counter-argument is a societal problem (at least around these parts). To those hotheads, it's more important to score points than to discuss differences. It's more important to be right than to be civil.
That was rampant in the Stargate fandom. I'm glad I found a quiet, clever group of people here who love Show and know how to express themselves politely and civilly.
I can see being pissed at the writers about genderfail and racefail, and I can see liking one brother more than the other, but I don't understand the impulse to hate on either of them just because the other one is your woobie of choice. That's craziness!
And this is why we are here and not there.

HAVE YOU MET US?!
Kidding, kidding.
We get new show tonight! God, it takes a while to get used to. I can have new show EVERY WEEK! For a while, anyway.
Opposite the premier of Fringe! Ack! Which can I live without seeing tonight?
Thank dog for a dual tuner. And, I guess, Hulu. Because I know Thursdays are going to mess me up when they get into full flow. If only I could toss Grey's.
Yeah, we still have no DVR, so I'm going to Hulu Fringe, sadly. I love it, but not as much as my Winchesters.
Well, Amy, there is the advantage of less commercials that way. I think that's what I will do, because the CW takes it's sweet time to post the episodes.
I think there is something on every major channel on Thursdays that I want to watch, possibly both at 8 and 9. It's a stumbling block in my plan to switch to DirectTV that I don't know if the service will play nice with cobbled together system of recording devices of various ages - right now I've got a Tivo and the Mac mini hooked up to the unscrambled cable feed, but I assume that would go away were I to switch over and hooking up multiple satellite receivers to the same TV seems like a bad idea in some way.
I just am grateful to networks for streaming full episodes when there are more than two shows in a time slot on a given night. Also, TNT, SyFy, and other cable networks run shows both eastern and western time, and I dvr'd those late when I was on eastern time, and dvr them early now that I'm west coast. Of course, next week we'll be back in NC for two months....
I'm unplugging the cable box and dvr while we're gone. I have a notebook with my fall schedule and the dvr schedule worked out, including "dvr early" and "stream from network" or "Hulu" in case of slot multi-crunch. I figure by the time we get back to WA after Thanksgiving, the carnage of cancellation will have cleared enough I can program the dvr for the survivors at that time.
But I need the notebook to keep track while we're in NC.
...I could be too media dependent...

Hee! I have the same thing set up in iCal with different calendars for the various recording techs, iTunes, and On Demand. I have yet to depend on Hulu, I should remember it's there when I'm making these decisions...
