Turned on ABC at 9:00PM and Dancing with the Stars was on, hey, where’s TDTVS? Oh, yeah, that’s right, it’s over.

The End

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes…again
Jim Morrison

It all comes to an end tonight at 11:30PM and quite frankly I think I will be glad it is over. What started as a survival story on a mysterious island has morphed into a battle between good and evil to control the island that no one can find.

Millions of people want answers to the thousands of unanswered questions and mysteries, but I for one don’t care if I find out what happened to Rose, Bernard and Vincent the dog or any of the others.

How will it end? Will we merge the the island time lines with the alt LA universe? My guess is it will be a variation of the first scene of last season’s finale; Jack (the new Jacob) will be sitting on the beach and John Locke (the new MIB) will approach and say, “You know how much I want to kill you?” They will stare out to sea and see a boat approaching. Locke will ask Jack, “You brought them here didn’t you?” The camera zooms in until you see the transom. It reads, “S.S.Minnow” Fade to black.

Inside on a Beautiful Day

It was spent mostly watching Life. We had disc three of season two from Netflix to watch and did. Then got antsy and didn’t want to wait for the last two discs to come in the mail, so off to the back alleys of the internet. I downloaded the four episodes that are on disc 4 while we watched the other red envelope disc, Michael Clayton (which after watching the four simplistic 42 minute TV shows was hard to follow because you had to pay attention, but if you did you were rewarded.) We then watched those four downloaded episodes of Life. The next thing we knew it is past 8:00 PM with the sun is going down.

The last 5 episodes of the short lived show are being torrented as we speak, but those won’t get watched until tomorrow afternoon or night though. We are off to do some geocaching in the morning and possibly see an early showing of IM2.

My last post chronicled all the TV I’ve been watching, well that is about to come to an end, literally and figuratively. Monday is the season-enders for House and Castle. Flashforward didn’t get renewed for next year, so I probably won’t even bother watching how many ever new episodes of that are left. There are only 2 more episodes of Law & Order (the Mothership version) ever. It ends its 20 year run the day after TDTVS finishes its 6 year ride on the 23rd of May. That leaves just a month and a half left of new of L&O:Criminal Intent (although I really miss Goren and Eames) and In Plain Sight to see on USA.

TV Is Winning

I haven’t been posting or a couple reasons, but the main one is I can’t seem to find the time. I’m watching too much TV. On Monday their is House from 8-9. then at ten there is the original Law & Order and Castle which get watched via torrent on Tuesday. Tuesday evening we watch the L&O and Castle before watching TDTVS at 9. Tuesday at 10 is The Good Wife and L&O:CI on USA which get delayed until Wednesday. Wednesday at 10 is In Plain Sight which get watched on Thursday before Flashforward (which sometimes gets delayed until Friday.) And as always there is a Netflix disc with a movie and another disc with a TV show (currently Life) that need watching too.

It has gotten so bad that I haven’t even been listening to the FRS on the internet (which as it turns out is a good thing because they seem to be winning when I’m not listening.)*

I’ve got plenty of stuff to post about, but by the time I get around to it a lot of the details will have leaked out my ears and won’t be available to make the story more than a tweet length. The only reason you are getting this on today is I’m bored at work with a very repetitive job and needed a break before I nodded off in my chair.

*As if to prove my point, the FRS had an afternoon game today and I listened to it at work. They lost 3-2 to Toronto.

Miscellaneous Monday

Added a link in the Miata section called Miata Mondays. It is from a site called Cold Track Days and features a photo every Monday of a tricked out Miata.

Watching LOST last week, every time they showed Jack standing there in his dark blue t-shirt I couldn’t help but notice the resemblance to the protagonist in that video game Another World that I so loved, but couldn’t get to work back in December.

There are only 3 episodes and the two hour finale left of TDTVS and then it will be all over on Sunday, May 23 (why Sunday?) But that’s OK maybe they will make Saturday morning cartoon of the show.

You know how I spent a couple hours the other day ridding my work PC of ClearType after the Office 2007 install? Well guess what is running on the home laptop and hasn’t bothered me one bit?

House viewers must buy a lot of trucks or someone thinks they do because the big three have all run truck ads during tonight’s show.

HD On Cable

Back in August a bolt of lightning fried our tube TV so we bought a one of those new fangled flat screens. I let it find all the channels and was happy as a clam. Then 3 weeks later I had to reset the TV and when I ran the channel find function this time I let it look for digital channels. It found some, the Music Choice channels that came with the digital package, nothing with a picture though.

I was home sick with some flu stuff today and thought I would tune into Soundscapes, the New Age Music Choice channel to help in starting a nap while on the couch. It wasn’t there. I remember wondering if the cable company knew that folks with digital TV were getting that music for free. Maybe they did and decided to cut it off.

For the heck of it I ran the channel setup again. It found the music channels. They were occupying the recently, with no notice, vacated ESPN Classic channel spot at 34. Not only that it turned up the HD broadcasts of the 6 local TV broadcasters. Now I won’t have to unplug the cable and plug up the $20 rabbit ears I bought so I can watch TDTVS in full widescreen HD glory. Then plug the cable back in after the show is over.
