      seen 3, not overly great but still better than most of what's on tv. bought 4 yesterday and that's supposed to be better so we'll see.

      2 has moments of genius but it's less immediately accessible and feels forced in places.

      I enjoyed 1 but it wasn't the best thing on TV like everyone says. There should be more decent sci-fi around like Firefly or Battlestar.

      see, i'm not a geek like you. :P

      i enjoyed firefly but the characters in the wire were far more engaging and well thought out.

      Firefly was slightly less serious. It's different kind of entertaining I guess. I think Battlestar sits between the 2 but I know you're not a fan.

    • yeah, true enough. i think i'm too much of a history geek to ever really enjoy sci-fi.

      firefly was also a victim of american tv company demands, i know it's not as well thought out as it was intended to be. i just think that as a finished product the wire stands up to most modern novels and you can't say that about much tv.

    • I was going to make a point about the cut-off development of some of the characters back stories in Firefly that could have made it brilliant but The Onion beat me to it.

      This, re: my cross-threaded realms of geekdom comment. Admittedly I bummed The X-Files quite ferociously, but that was always kinda grounded in reality. Kinda.

    • Did the pre-shoot shop at Costco yesterday. ALWAYS GOOD FUN.

      SO yesterday I probably bought something like 200 bottles of water, a vat of coffee, 2000 tea bags, etc etc etc.

      I also bought some new pyjamas which totally rule. Comfiest. Ever.
