Small, random thoughts

Almost forgot...tomorrow night is the Jamie McMurray appearance on The West Wing.

I love the universes that can be created in sci-fi. I love the endless possibilities. But it all means nothing without one essential element...the buddy relationship.

In a weird way, I don't read sci-fi though. My dad always had lots of sci-fi lying around, so I don't know why I didn't.

The one book I did read though that I find highly influential and probably my bible on how I like sci-fi to play out is Enemy Mine by Barry B. Longyear. The relationship between Davidge and Jeriba (and ultimately with Zammis) struck a chord. It was all about surviving against insurmountable odds and creating friendships despite language and cultural barriers.

Um...what?

From Kryptonsite:

So the Futon Critic is doing a countdown of the top 50 episodes of TV from 2004, and gave kudos to "Run".

And said this: "After what has seemed like an endless parade of incestual plotlines (can we go three weeks without visiting the caves again?), "Smallville" finally broke out of its mythology rut and came to life in this episode which featured the introduction of Bart Allen (Kyle Gallner) a.k.a. The Flash."

Back up there. "Incestual" plotlines? Um, where was the incest, and how did I miss it?!?!?

This was too good not to post

For laughs, I bought a book (actually, cheesy romance novel) based entirely on the title. Then I read the back. Am currently suspicious of friends list, that one of them watched LOTR one too many times and wrote a book and didn't tell me.
