Primeval Thoughts...

So I've gotten into watching Primeval on Sci-Fi.

It's a decent show, with some decent action and FX. Of course, the fact that it's English gives it some automatic points. That, and Hanna Spearritt.

But what bugs me is that so far into Series 2 I have no idea what's going on, and I'm trying to keep myself from reading the episode summaries.

Here's what I've got so far.

Nick and his team have been locating anomalies and combating creatures from Earth's past. Helen [Nick's ex who apparently first discovered the anomalies years ago] has been at times helping the team and making their jobs harder.

After fighting a creature thought to be from the future, Nick comes back to a world that's apparently has never heard of Claudia Brown, their government liaison. She's been possibly replaced by Jenny Lewis, who looks exactly like her. Where before their team basically shared space in an office building, now they have almost unlimited resources.

But now they have problems. Somehow, Helen Brown is manipulating Oliver Leek, who has been dispatching teams early to anomalies, disabling their equipment and even hiring a woman to seduce[?] one of them for information.

My question is, to what end? Unless the next episode has a tone of denouement, I have no idea how this is going to be resolved.

And I just learned there's only a handful of episodes left. Crap.

Deep Background...

After watching the Mavs finding new ways to lose basketball games today, I felt inspired to give my own personal brand of failure by writing a blog post.

I'm not sure if our local mall is indicative of others in Texas, but it has some aspects that I suspect are unique.

1. A huge granite slab displaying the Ten Commandments[flanked by Bath and Body Works on one side and Things Remembered on the other]

2. A used car lot in the parking lot [the previous tenant was a manufactured housing dealer]

3. "Live" "Music" [I place quotes around live because yes, the folks are alive and it is music, but...]

4. The local CBS Affiliate is housed in this mall. [I wish I had something quippy to add]

Now don't get me wrong. I'm not trashing 'my' mall. Far from it. Where else can I buy:

Vinyl stickers of Calvin peeing on various car company logos?
Highly realistic machine gun replicas that fire rubber BBs?
Pocket sized scales that are incredibly accurate and easily concealed?
My choice of Two [2!] Alltel stores?
Try the California Roll.

Thanks.

Ah-ha...

I finally figured out what's been bothering me about that 'I'm a PC' ad with that little girl emailing a picture of her fish.

She starts off by saying she's going to send a picture to her family.

So whose house is she in?

Just wondering.

Criminy...

Now this is getting ridiculous.

I know no one reads this, but letting this thing go for over 2 months without anything? Not good.

So I'll fill some space while I wait to get sleepy.

Burnout: Paradise is deep-fried awesome with Ranch Dressing.

That said, some notes after about a month or so of driving.

I really miss the Revenge aspects of blowing yourself up after a wreck. The loss of aftertouch is also pretty bad.

Since I'm PC, I understand waiting for all the new cars and the DLC. Heck we got a ton of stuff just for buying the game. I do hope they'll cut the pc users a break on at least some of it.

I am no good at Stunt Run events.

I was OK with the fact I will never complete all the tasks in this game. Now I'm about 20 Smashes away from 400 and I can tell it will consume my soul.

Courage,

Mike G.


PS Richard 'Big Dick' Hunter will be back on the air soon in Dallas! His site has all the details.

I don't think I'll ever be able to fully express what he and his friendship has meant to me. He's a good man and fully deserves all his success.
