Haaarrr, Mateys! It Be Time For A Sci-fi Geekout!
I once saw this house that was owned by a nutty old man who tweaked it and tweaked it, adding on things here and then until all he was left with was a cluttered mess. George Lucas seems to be going down that road. [via Defamer] Sure, all he did this time was improve the Jaba and pull a switcheroo with a few of the actors (and a pair of eyebrows).
But what's next? What changes will be made by the time the 2020 holographic crystal edition comes out? Will they make Han a woman? Will they redo Luke's voice, removing the whine? Will they make Chewie bald? Think about it, if Lucas can remove a man's eyebrows, there's no stopping him.
I know that a bunch of you love Enterprise, so I bet you're geeking out about the new season. And I gotta admit ... as much as it may cost me much of my remaining dignity ... that the 3-episode Brent Spiner deal is going to drag my sorry ass back in front of the tv again. And who knows, maybe the new guy can turn things around ... he sounds like more of a true Trekkie than that idiot, Brannon Braga. Isn't my optimism sad?
There seems to be a rumour about new Futurama episodes every two months, which means we're ... due ... for ... a new one ... right ... about ... now.
James and I are still not speaking after our brawl over DS9, but you should go to his site anyways and read up on the new Doctor Who series and reports that CBC is going to run it. Which reminds me, I was walking Zack the other day, yesterday actually, and there's this old guy who likes to say hi to the dog and yesterday he was complaining about the road construction on his street and he says, "Listen to that noise! I have four episodes of Coronation Street on a tape and I was just about to watch them when that noise started!" Coronation Street?
Ok, I'm going to do a really neat segue. Ready?
Coronation Street? My ex used to watch that every Sunday morning. And her sister's show, Mutant X is kicking off it's new season ... er, yesterday. Ok, we have DS9 fans reading, we have Enterpise fans and I'll bet you cash money that we have Fifth Element fans waiting for the night that they decide to eat all of our brains while we sleep. Do we have any Mutant X fans out there? Hello? Hellooooo? [echoes]
If North Korea does have nuclear weapons, please use them on Tom Hanks.
Enterprise needs to learn a lesson from Smallville: geeks need to be fed. And Smallville's offering up a cornucopia of goodness, so much that I don't even care that Jesus won't be playing Superman in the movie!
Um, that's it. You can go back to your Coronation Street.
