I finally got around to watching the T:TSCC from Friday night yesterday evening and bang, pow a main character dies. Derek Reese, John Conner’s uncle, takes a bullet to the brain from a terminator during a small skirmish in a house. It happened in a random sort of way that might occur in a real shootout, seemed real.

An hour or so later while watching this week’s episode of House when holy crap, a main character dies. Dr. Lawrence Kutner takes a bullet in the brain from himself. Maybe because this occurred off-screen it didn’t seem as real as the T:TSCC one. I liked Kutner the best of the 3 new fellows on the show, but that is not saying much as I never really warmed up to any of them. I probably won’t miss him as much as the Derek.

I’m almost afraid to watch last Friday’s Dollhouse in case within the first 15 minute a major character dies.

The most surprising thing is that I didn’t recognize Meatloaf as the actor playing the male patient on the episode of House.

Why can’t I leave well enough alone? I don’t have the answer to that and if I wanted one it might take years of therapy at large cost.

First I thought about just changing the background, but it seems like I might just go ahead and change everything. I kind of want to upgrade to the latest version of Word Press anyway, so while I’m at it…

Then again I might not find a new theme I like. Or the one I do like will be too much of a hassle to implement.

But this is fair warning, if you drop in here someday soon and it doesn’t look like you are in the right place, you just might really be.

I’m stealing this sort of from Joe Posnanski’s blog. I’ll change the wording up a bit to shorten it and remove the baseball content.

You are a contestant on Let’s Make A Deal. OK, so, there are three curtains. Behind one is new car and behind the other two are goats.

You choose your curtain for simplicity, we’ll say that you choose what’s behind Curtain No. 1. And Monty goes, “Well, before we see what’s behind your curtain, let’s show you what’s behind Curtain No. 3!” They pull back the curtain and there is a goat grazing on a square of sod held on a leash by a model.

Now, Monty gives you an option. He says that you can stay with Curtain No. 1 or switch to Curtain No. 2.

So what do you do?

A: Stick with Curtain No. 1.
B: Switch to Curtain No. 2
C: It doesn’t matter because there is an equal chance the prize is behind either curtain.

The correct answer is B. You ALWAYS switch. If you switch, you are twice as likely to get the big prize.

I thought C, there are two curtains, one has the prize, so you have a 50-50 shot. I read his original post, and the next day’s about it, and still couldn’t see my way to believe that switching doubled the odds. Then I got to reading the comments on the second post and somewhere in the 101 of them that there, are I became a believer.

If you remain unconvinced that B is the right answer, go read for your self – A Brilliant Reader Question.

If you are a smarty pants know-it-all, what the heck are you doing here reading my blog?
