    This book had to be made to keep up the Star Trek book tradition. I remember when I was a kid I had the tech manual and the concordance and used them while watching the series every night on channel 39.
    I still wish one day they would build the Dreadnought.

    There is a good, tangible reason for this last thursday's ratings hit, being that the night was scheduled for baseball.

    Not trying to make a point, but are these things still measured by nielsen? I have no idea. #fringe

    Why do they insist on moving shows around so much. Look at ER. It stayed in the same time slot for its entire run and it did great. #fringe

    "Fox insanely supportive" is about as reassuring as:

    "The check is in the mail."

    "I've NEVER done THAT before."

    "Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it."

    "You know of course though he's right about the 9000 series having a perfect operational record. They do. "

    "Try it you'll like." #fringe

    I pick Fringe on Thursdays over Supernatural because the wife gets Grey's. I already gave up CSI for Supernatural a couple of years ago and was comfortable with it and then they pull this shit moving Fringe to Thursday like it can compete with Grey's and CSI. Give it up Fox move Fringe back to Tuesday where there is no competition. #fringe

    I'm excited for the new Prisoner, even though it does seem to suffer a serious dearth of multi-colored capes and pennyfarthing bicycles. Also, snappy blazers. #theprisoner

    Don't forget that Sunday is also the UK premiere of the new Doctor Who special "Waters of Mars."

    If you'd asked me 10 years ago whether my two favorite UK shows would be back on the air on the same night, I'd have laughed in your face. #theprisoner

    There's also a little show called "Legend of the Seeker" on over the weekend (times vary, being syndicated and all.) It's based on the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. Season 2 just started last weekend.

    While I wouldn't call the adaptation "faithful" (the plots vary widely, even though the characters are basically the same), lovers of the books should like the show... and if you find yourself liking the show, it's worth reading the books.

    So far, writing and production quality have been on a par with the late Xena and Hercules series'. #theprisoner

    @TomXP411: Do they have musical episodes and do the characters regularly die and come back?

    I actually do want to watch this. Must check Veoh for it. #theprisoner

    @TomXP411: So I really liked the book series, but I absolutely hated the tv series. I just can't watch it. I've tried and it makes me angry.

    To be fair, I knew they weren't going to exactly remake the book into a tv series considering how dark it can be, but I don't know what they writers were smoking. #theprisoner
