Alas...oh reginalddd

So the week has kicked off with a boom reminiscent of the sound of shells above Fort McHenry from the vantage point of a British ship during the War of 1812 in 1814. There on that glorious day Francis Scott Key wrote The Star Spangled Banner, our national anthem.

Anywho, so I have acquired this knack for wanting to watch good TV, or at least TV that is better than what I would label normal TV. The great thing is that there are actually some great looking shows on TV these days, and because I chose to not watch any kind of TV regularly other than LOST from 1998-2008, I can always catch up. Back in those times we only had 1 good TV. My parents occupied it most readily with cult classics like Dr. Quinn Medicene Woman, Perry Mason, Diagnosis Murder, The Andy Griffith Show, Star Trek Deep Space 9, Little House on the Prairie, and I Love Lucy.

Those were the days where I logged onto my computer and played Age of Empires...actually all 4 of them, and learned to love history and combat tactics in wars.

Mother of pearl, I digress. So on the tab for this semester is the following:

  1. Fringe - A new JJ Abrams project. The pilot was great and the technology/science aspect of it sucked me in immediately. Oh looky.. the second episode just finished downloading via torrent.
  2. Dexter - Nothing but love for the vigilante criminal slaying serial killer. Episode one of season three was leaked and picks up where it left off.
  3. Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles - Ahh the nerddom comes out of me. Yes, I like it, and the chick from Serenity/Firefly (Summer Glau) stars in it.
  4. Entourage - Jeremy Piven FTW.
  5. Chuck - Season two starts next week I think.
  6. The Big Bang Theory - Also starts next week. The nerds are back.
  7. Stargate Atlantis - Gotta get my Sci-Fi fix.
So that is pretty much what I have my eyes on so far this semester.

I recently finished Rome, which was an amazing series. I am halfway through Battlestar Galactica which will begin to conclude come January. LOST will also restart in January.

Sweet mother of moses.

Btw, I have most of the above if you would like to watch any, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Off to partake in more shenanigans.
