I am watching Comedy Central right now, and I just heard a commercial from the "Can you hear me now?" genre about getting info about smallville sent to your phobe? I find that very strange.

You know, I just got cable today... and it's broken already, so I can't watch Stargate. I think I'll sulk. Or... maybe do homework.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sophia, I saw one on FX tonight. Very odd. It took me a minute to figure out what I was seeing. And the whole thing is a bit bizarre (I don't hold out hope that it could actually be very cool [Anybody else play the AI thing?]).

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I adore Wormhole X-Treme. You have to be careful with bringing the meta in a genre show - get repeatedly self-referential and I get irritated - but that episode made me laugh like a loon.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Yeah, Sophia -- I saw that too. Verizon subscribers can get "news alerts" about the show's action sent to their phones. Weird ad.

"And yet all the aliens speak English."
My favorite bit from that episode is where Warren (that was his name, right? Warren?) got very insistant that matter could only be sent one way through the wormhole, and that send matter both ways defied the laws of physics.
What does the producer shoot back at him? Not "Dude, it's just a TV show," or anything like that...
"Who here has won a Cable Ace award?"
Perfect producer comeback.
In sort of the same vein... I was just watching the Simpsons episode where Grandpa blows out both his kidneys and has to get a replacement one from Homer. The bit at the beginning, where the family is in Bloodbath Gultch, and the tour guide points out the planks for the sidewalk where "real bandits may have once walked," and everybody takes pictures of the sidewalk...?
Yeah, that bit is a lot funnier after you've lived off of Hollywood boulevard for a while and watched people take pictures of your sidewalk every day for the last two years.

All is well that ends in pizza.
After the Cable Ace award Marty says something about "Big deal, just because his show went 100 episodes!"
Wormhole Xtreme was Stargate Sg-1's 100th Episode.

Well, they not only skewered themselves, but whole conventions of SF.
And the whole "Why don't I fall through the floor?" thing could have come from any SF episode that does "hey, we're out of phase with our reality!" Ensign Ro and Geordi come to mind.....and others.
