@tbrunner: Exactly, what I was thinking the second time I saw that the writers had an interview where they basically said, "We have nothing!" Now it's, "Allegory, allegory, Allegory!"
Why do they even bother having interviews? If anything, it is just starting to piss me off. #startrek
I choose to believe that Supernatural episode will result in Sam and Dean creating a legion of fangirls to battle against the forces of evil(and good) and save the world. They're the only ones scary enough to take on the demons/angels, anyway. #startrek
@CodenameV: Sooo... someone hasn't been paying attention to SGU's title stylings. 'Air', 'Darkness', 'Light', and now 'Water'. The show is sticking to one word descriptions. Sorry if one of those happens to be the same as a title from a different show. #startrek
After "Air", "Darkness", "Light" and "Water", the season finale will be "Hot Dogs" - when the crew runs out of food and the ship has a hankerin' for foot longs. #startrek
@NotChoinski: And it would be followed up with an episode called Basic Plumbing.
I think I'm done with this show. I didn't even watch Friday's episode and the preview for the next does not look promising.
I'm over the whole 'Oh no we don't have air we're doomed...wait the ship saved us! Oh no we don't have energy we're doomed...wait the ship saved us! Oh no we don't have water we're doomed...' formula.
It might be (somewhat) realistic and an episode or two around it is fine, but it is painful to have it stretched out for this many episodes in lieu of, oh I don't know, actually getting a real plot. #startrek
@Motoki: I didn't watch this Friday either (Got caught up in playing Borderlands - a far better waste of supposed to be studying time) - do you (or anyone else) know if the guesses about the ship using the sun to re-charge were right? #startrek
@NotChoinski: We need a pool for what basic needs the ship goes after this season.
My money is on an episode called "Smokes" where they drop by a convenience store planet for cigarettes, lotto scratch-off tickets, and slushies... #startrek
@Chuck: I'm looking forward to the late second season episode "Condoms" also, I think "Smokes" could be a two-parter, with the second episode called "Whiskey". #startrek
Here's my take on Smallville. The show lost its momentum a number of seasons ago and, so, now it's merely a vehicle to show other DC heroes, the idea being that they're looking for signs that the audience really likes one of them. When that helps, they'll start making a spin-off series based on that hero and bury Smallville. #startrek
Regarding the Prisoner remake ... I do hope this is not a huge disaster, but these pictures look all dream/sunny/washed-out. The original was clostrophobic in the extreme, with the Village being like a rat maze of levels and lanes. This seems more like #6 got transported to Dune or something.
Nevertheless, I expect to tune in. #startrek

* Star Trek Strikes Back
* Little Star Trek on the Prairie
* BattleStar Treklactica
* Star Trek & Sons
* The Odd Couple (Kirk & Spock)
And of course, more screen time for the other actors...
* There Be Whales Here! (a Scotty-centric film)
* Topless (an Uhura-centric porn flick... wait, I think they've done that already)
* OWWWWWWWWWW!!! (A Chekov-centric film)
* Let's Go Sing Debbie Reynolds Tunes! (A Sulu-centric film)
* DAMMIT! (a McCoy-centric film)
* Hey! I'm actually in the film! (a Nurse Chappel, Yeoman Rand, Lt Riley, or Lt. Kyle-centric film) #startrek
"Producer Kelly Souders warns: "You will see more people than you can imagine die in the first 12 [episodes]. Luckily it's Smallville, so not all of them stick." He says some of these deaths may take place in the future, and we also may see some people snuff it in some of Lois' visions."
NO NO NO NO. Here's a great reason why Smallville will never reclaim itself. The producer should not be saying, "Hey, we're going to kill some people, but don't worry - they'll come back to life!" #startrek
@croush1211: In a way it's kind of nice to see them acknowledge that not even the slowest viewer actually believes in a Smallville death scene these days... #startrek
