IO9 has some serious beef with the scifi channel.

Is this our very own Braak?

Funny. I could have sworn this article was Charlie's Doctor Who review when I clicked on it. In fact, it was. There was a clip of the interrogation flashbacks. Fascinating.

@TheKeyMaster: Not the SciFi Channel. Bad documentaries about pseudo-science.

@Ed Grabianowski: It is statistically possible that there could be two people on the internet with the name "Braak."

I'm sure there's at least one more of them who's a Dutchman, and is an expert in tulips, or something.

If you enjoy this sort of thing, you should really be listening to Coast to Coast AM.

I have four of the crystal skulls in my basement, but I'm keeping them, cause I'm looking forward to the Mayan apocalypse.

@B: I'm calling my new energy drink "Mayan Apocalypse."

IT'S FUCKIN' EXTREME.

@braak: I almost watched this shit last night, since it was right after Last Crusade, but fortunately, the tail end of the Office marathon intervened. Thank you for validating my decision after the fact.

@Annalee Newitz: That was horrid last night. I wanted to reach through the screen and beat people up. There were no skeptics on there, save one. And what got me even more is how they were acting like the replica skull was just like the "mystical" one they kept in the US so the Beliezian Gov. wouldn't lock him up.

@moff: Pray tell, does it have electrolytes?

Didn't Lester Holt used to be a JOURNALIST? All I could think for the hour I tolerated this idiocy was, "How sad."

Normally I enjoy laughing at pseudoscience like this, but I couldn't stand more than five minutes of that incredibly annoying narration.

Did anyone who watch it notice that they cited Stargate Atlantis as having a crystal skull episode? Now maybe if the SciFi Channel didn't own the rights to both Atlantis and SG1(and created the former), I could excuse this, but you're telling me the people who makes the shows didn't know what series they were showing. It had Daniel Jackson for frak's sake!

@laughingacademy: All the people walking in the "maze o' energy" on top of one of the magnetic vortex intersections(amazing how this spot is on private property and I'm sure for a modest fee you can visit and be "taught") w/ the crystal skull in the center freaked me out. They people staring into the skulls and like licking them were even scarier. I would like a list of the people who appeared on that show and sell it to someone who needs gullible people.

@Git Em SteveDave: Oh, yeah. Where else would I store all the information that it would take thousands of microchips to store?

That's right. Mayan Apocalypse Energy Drink™ stores information.

@moff: Knowledge is treasure! Oops, I just spoilered the ENTIRE INDY MOVIE for you!

@moff: Do plants crave it also?

@Git Em SteveDave: If it's made by Brawndo, then yes. It's got electrolytes.

Chris Braak, that is a really funny review... that made me want to want the show... strangely paradoxical.

I kind of like those really lame shows (remember Beyond Belief with Jonathan Frakes?). But this one sounded like it was really really painful to behold!
