Indeed Dan it is good to see. It all goes back to what we both (and others in here) have said many times. It all comes down to the parenting that the kids get, and the values they are given as a young person.

I have SOOO much to thank my parents for... they are the best and have given me the best possible chance at becoming a well rounded human being! Even though they don't agree with the way i'm choosing to live my life(they are strongly christian) they still support me and give me nothing but love! Being home schooled, i was taught most of what i know through them... and i'll be forever in their debt! Love you Mum and Dad

And back on topic now...

Here you go Lion...the interview I was telling you about.

I haven't heard much about it. I'm going to have to take a look later on tonight.

Last night was the season finale of The 4400 and The Dead Zone.  They weren't as satisfying as I hoped they would be, but I think they took lessons from Lost.  Don't put all the eggs in one basket so we come back for more.  The are both good shows and I look forward to them next year.  I haven't been watching Kyle, but it looks good.  I will probably catch it on reruns.  I am looking forward to Jericho and maybe The Nine.  There are also some good people on the Sunset thing, Justice.  And I have really been enjoying Eureka.  I said I would watch one or two just to say I did give it a chance, but now, I am looking forward to it.  I am also looking forward to some of the oldies coming back, Boston Legal, House, Bones, Crossing Jordan and NCIS.  NCIS has Mark Harmon (Gibbs) who is yummy, but I don't know if he is returning. Gibbs went on spiritual vacation and hopeful, he heals from the trauma he went through at season finale.  I have a movie (I taped) with Harmon made about 5 years ago.  He is a psychopath who doesn't look like one and no one knows.  I am only one hour into a 4 hour movie.  It's called Never Let Her Go.  I am also taping Johnny Depp in Secret Window right now.  Looking forward to that also. 

I think I"m going to have to rent Secret Window one day ... I did want to see it!

Flightplan was like that a little bit with me. Once they "established" she was just in grief over her husband and that it was all in her head, I thought ... come on ... this is just stupid. I paid my money for this? It better get interesting REAL soon!  and it did!

The Simpsons rule!! 

I am anxious to see Heroes. I am a sucker for any superhero/super human strength kinda show! I used to be up to date with all the X=Men comics. I lost it just before they did the big reveal about Wolverines past. I never saw it!

NNOOOOOOOoooooooo.........

it's on NBC, and it's a serious show. Well, as serious as a superhero show can be. These kids or young adults have supernatural abilities. One girl has some sort of power over fire. They show her walking into a burning building. One guy flies, another has the ability to time travel. It looks really kewl!

Yes!!!!!! and probably a notch up from Mutant X as well.

I have to say that wouldn't  take much. I tried to like that show, but just couldn't.

I warmed up to it. Only because of the superpowers thing. For some reason I tend to have a little place for those lame shows like that. I don't know why. But Heroes does not look like one of those type shows either.

That could work...not sure about a junkie with powers when he's high though.

New show review: Justice (Fox, Wednesdays after Bones)

I watched this show tonight because I absolutely adore Victor Garber.  I was disappointed in this show however.  Victor Garber plays a cutthroat defense attorney named Ron Trott.  He is partner in law firm TNT&G.  His character is completely unlikeable and more intense than Jack Bristow.  Jack Bristow had a daughter to soften his character, plus he was an uber-cool CIA agent who took no crap from anyone.  Bristow was good at his job and knew it, but had no ego because his work went largely unnoticed by the media.  His character in Justice is a media-crazy egomaniac who wants to win at all costs.  That last part is great to have in a defense attorney, but his character is also known as the media spin doctor of law.  He is notorious for his manipulation of the press to turn a jury in his favor.  In this day and age that is to be expected especially given the media's influence on the minds of our young ones.  There is no chemistry (platonic or otherwise) between Garber and his castmates, nor is there any between members of the cast.  The show focuses on the defense of a client in court.  It begins with the occurrence of the crime which sends that suspect to jail/trial and at the speed of light we are whisked through months of preparation and pre-trial hearings and the trial itself until a verdict is read.  Then at the very end we are shown what really happened and consequently whether the jury gave the right verdict.  For those of us used to CSI or Law and Order the speed through the entire process, with hardly a backward glance at the forensic evidence used by both sides of the courtroom, the show seems without substance and carries too much information for our CSI/L&O focused brains.  Procedural crime dramas work better when focused on one aspect of the case, be it the forensic investigation or the criminal investigation by police.  If you want to show the trial then leave it to L&O or give the trial its own show rather than slap it in among every other crime drama that exists all wrapped into one hour.

I'll probably check out Friday Night Lights. I liked Kyle Chandler in Early Edition. I can't believe shows still aren't starting until October! I thought since the Emmy's were on early that shows would be starting mid-September at least!

Wasn;t he hysterical in King Kong??
