Sci-fi & More TV Musings

She is another favorite of mine. I think she has a series coming soon on USA Network. She is best known as Grace Adler, a gay man’s roommate on Will and Grace. I have noticed that on the show she is often not as attractive as  the other roles she plays. Recent Projects: (CREDIT: IMDB):

Youtube is a great place to find these! In the past few days I have watched several cases. I have seen The People’s Court, Judge Judy, and Judge Mathis…. You’ll see a lot of senseless people in the cases. You’ll see sensible folk too, but they are not as prevalent…. You’ll also see judges perhaps (some(several actually) of the parties in the cases are jerks though)) over react like in the above. Interestingly, thanks to Wikipedia(which is great) I figured out that technically the “Judges” are Arbiters:

“It should be noted that although the show refers to Sheindlin as a judge, neither she nor Petri Hawkins-Byrd is acting as an actual court officer on the show. She is acting as an arbiter, and Byrd is acting as a private security guard.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Judy

Arbitration is:

“Arbitration, a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a legal technique for the resolution of disputes outside the courts, wherein the parties to a dispute refer it to one or more persons (the “arbitrators”, “arbiters” or “arbitral tribunal“), by whose decision (the “award“) they agree to be bound. Arbitration in the United States and in other countries often includes alternative dispute resolution (ADR), a category that more commonly refers to mediation (a form of settlement negotiation facilitated by a neutral third party). It is more helpful, however, simply to classify arbitration as a form of binding dispute resolution, equivalent to litigation in the courts, and entirely distinct from the various forms of non-binding dispute resolution, such as negotiation, mediation, or non-binding determinations by experts. Arbitration is, today, most commonly used for the resolution of commercial disputes, particularly in the context of international commercial transactions.

Arbitration can be either voluntary or mandatory and can be either binding or non-binding.”

This is the 2nd all time video montage, I’m quite a beginner:

Watching Continuum a second time the other day made me like it even more. It was fun seeing Jack  again. Baal’s execution(technically “extraction”) was where all the trouble began, Baal mentioned that the other Baals have set into motion a plan that screws the timeline so that the U.S. never gets its hands on the Stargate, from the execution site SG-1 starts to vanish because the timeline is fugged, meanwhile Jack stabs Baal and he dies leaving the viewer curious, but since we know it’s a timeline story, one can guess that he’ll be back. We go to 1929 aboard a ship captained by someone that looks like an older version of Mitchell, which we later learn is his grandfather. The Stargate is kept in a huge box like thing. Baal and the Jaffa come through and take over the ship….. SG-1(w/o Jack/Teal’c/Vala)  ends up on that ship, and they’re struggling to get out and they’re confronted with miles of ice in the frozen artic, where Daniel was left behind because it was learned that he broke his leg…. Cam  &  Sam came across Jack, but he didn’t know who they were because of the fugged timeline…. They were brought in & Jack became testy because he didn’t know what was going on, I won’t say much else about the plot……

I liked seeing how  Daniel, Sam, & Cam adjusted to new lives and other restrictions placed on them… the Director, whom I believe is Martin Wood made good usage of multiple fade in/fade out screens to show the characters’ adjustments and their individual debriefings…..

It was an enjoyable classic SG-1 story…. Something that would help all the movies is longer length.

From the Family Guy Star Wars Parody “Blue Harvest”. Peter Griffin was Han Solo- this is a shot of when he said Hyperspace looks freaky( The falcon going through the Who vortex with the theme song playing in the background)

As you probably have heard by now, actor and comedian Bernie Mac passed away this past Saturday August 9th. He died in the hospital of Pneumonia at only 50 years old. He was certainly a star on top of his game and a joy to watch. I pray for the journey if his soul and I pray his memory(memory of him) brings solace to his family and friends.

She is a huge reason that I Love the Spiderman movies! She is absolutely wonderful! If I had to choose she’d be a celeb I’d date. I’ll admit I’ve had idle imaginings( does that phrasing make sense?) marrying her… My friends had a debate of sorts, I think she looks better with red hair but a lot of the consensus of the various people I asked was that she looks better blonde.

SPOILERS……

WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!!!! It was a WHO family get together to help save the universe from pesky Daleks! Rose, Martha, Sarah Jane, Donna, Captain Jack, Gwen and Ianto(and more friends)! It was riveting I tell you! The Daleks captured the Tardis with the Doctor being summoned out and Donna locked inside! The Tardis was then sent into the fire! Donna opened the Doctor’s Hand(in the canister). Its essence was absorbed into Donna which we soon learn made her half time lord- half human and unleashed a copy of The Doctor as well, who is half human. Donna starts talking like the Doctor, energetic, excited and scientifically brilliant. The Dalek that answers to Dalek Kaan(forgot his name) engineered the Reality Bomb which basically was meant to annihilate all but the Daleks. The Doctors and the gang were able to reverse the process and save the universe. Next order of business was to drop off Rose in the alternate reality she was previously trapped in so as not to upset the fabric of time. It turns out then that the Doctor that was part human with only one heart allowed her to be with the Doctor, because he would grow old with her. Later it is learned that “Doctor Donna” was unsafe being part Doctor so the knowledge she had gained and the memories of her and the Doctor had to be wiped, which I thought was a cruel necessity(maybe not necessary, Doctor Donna was a keeper). The Doctor told her parents that they absolutely cannot tell her anything about all that she’s done(any recollection would kill her), the times that she traveled the stars and saved the universe-millions will remember her but she cannot. I loved the goodbye when Donna’s dad told the Doctor that every night he would look up at the stars and think of him on her behalf, so moving…
