I’ve been watching all the episodes of The 4400 for the past week. This show is absolutely amazing. The story is so well thought out and the perspective of the show is just perfect.
The main thing to remember when trying to watch it is to start from the beginning. The first season was only 5 episodes with the first being 82 minutes and the rest being the standard 42 minutes per episode (after you cut out the commercials). The first season is on DVD at Walmart for around $14, probably because it’s only a 5 episode season. The second season just ended this past sunday night, and the final few clips were just teasing the 3rd season, which really made me want to see it when it starts.
The only thing that puzzles me is the way USA organizes their seasons. I’ll have to look that up.

I’m surprised that the Texans pulled ahead at the last bit of Saturday’s game. They kicked a fieldgoal to win 17-19 in the last few seconds. I hope it gives them the enthusiasm they’ll need to get started in their fourth season and put some wins on the board.
Good game, yall!

I saw the documentary “March of the Penguins” today, and really enjoyed it. It is absolutely amazing how much those creatures endure to survive during incubation, and how they withstand the cold by working together is just phenomenal.
Morgan Freeman made the whole thing seem that much more interesting with his familiar voice. I believe it was money well spent.

Well, tomorrow night should be a very good episode. They were getting ready for the Veto or Food Competition, and there were fish. There has been fish ever since. Apparently the producers have called off all live feeds until tomorrow. We’re not sure if we have to wait for the show to air, or if we have to wait until morning when the houseguests have cooled down.
It makes for bad usage of the internet feeds, and makes me not want to subscribe to the feeds ever again. If they are gonna cut off the feeds for hours like this, then they are wasting bandwidth and our time. The reason people subscribe to the feeds is so they can peep in on people who are interacting with each other.
Fish are quite boring, unless you plan to add some sharks or squid to the tank.

I was so relieved that Janelle won, but her reaction was kinda childish. I’m happy she won, but she really should’ve been a better winner, and let the nominations be more suspenseful.
Howie was reacting kinda loudly as well. He should’ve maintained his composure so that he wouldn’t make the target on his back even larger.
James has to be on Cloud 9 right now, because he’s under the radar for another week. I couldn’t be more excited for him right now. The two teams are pitted magnetically against each other so much that he might be one of the last 3 in the house for sure.

I’m really excited about what’s coming up on the first few episodes of Lost this season. We’re supposed to see what’s in the hatch over the first three episodes and we also get to see what the other group of survivors have been up to (the ones from the back of the plane).
We are also supposed to see what happened to the plane itself and why it went down before the end of season 2. There was speculation that there would be a mini-movie about this on the DVD set of season 1, but apparently that might not have been done.
All of this is purely rumored and speculated.
I even heard that one of the aliens in the hatch is going to take control of the body of one of the main characters.

I’m really excited about Smallville’s 5th season starting up on September 29th. It looks like a fun first few episodes. According to some stuff I’ve read online, it looks like Clark and Chloe finally have “the talk” everyone’s been so anxious for them to have. Apparently Clark learns some new powers from his time in the Fortress of Solitude, and we get to see some of it in action as he fights two Kryptonians from the spaceship in the field that Lana found.
I don’t want to get into too many details, but it looks like it will be really fun to watch.

Well, with 45 games left, the Astros must have a record of 27 and 18 to win 90 games this year. They are ahead by one game for the Wild Card and behind by 10 games for the Central Division Title. I hate to burst some bubbles, but the Central Division is almost not even an option, but they can stay ahead in the Wild Card race. They just have to win more games than everyone else in the National League. It sounds easy enough, but is it? I don’t think so.
That game last night against the Cubs was one fun game to watch. Astros 12, Cubs 4. It was really exciting. Too bad you can’t get to the playoffs by scoring the most points.
