Back from Colorado

Hello Everyone! Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. I've been vacationing in the wilds of Colorado. (Okay - Snowmass, but still -- there was nature!) I forgot how much I love Colorado. There were a few days that I sat out on one of the balcony's of the condo we were in, drank my morning coffee, and had my QT. It was so peaceful and beautiful. God has done some amazing work. BTW - Aspen? What's up with that? There's a culture of money there that I will never understand. It's like going to the zoo and watching all the animals. Fun, but weird.

I don't have much to comment on media-wise as I haven't been watching anything new lately. Although I did catch the newest Stargate SG-1 last night. I am enjoying Claudia Black's performance, but I am wondering where Amanda Tapping is. Is she coming back? Her name is one the credits, but she is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she's working on another project? I wish Claudia could stay on as a regular. She is fun! I am getting a little bored with the Jaffa stuff. All the political stuff is not so interesting to me. Stargate should be crazy aliens, big explosions, really snarky comments and Daniel Jackson! :-) BTW - I think that Ben Browder is fitting in nicely. He can't really fill Richard Dean Anderson's shoes, but he's doing a fine job of fitting into the dynamic. (Of course, it could be that I just like Ben Browder.) :-) Also - did anyone else notice the CGI during Daniel and Jack's conversation? It was glaringly obvious that they filmed the different sides of that conversation at different times. I'm guessing that Anderson didn't even go to Vancouver for the scene. Weird.

Now for something a little different... Here are the TV questions for today. Remember - these are from TV Tuesday. I don't want anyone to think I'm stealing someone else's idea.

1. What shows would make up a perfect night of TV viewing for you?
Wow. Tough question. Since it's my perfect night, I'm going to bring in cancelled shows.
7:00 - The West Wing (written by Aaron Sorkin, directed by Thomas Schlamme.)
8:00 - Beauty and the Beast (with Linda Hamilton still on the show)
9:00 - a Star Trek series where the characters actually changed over time (a la Babylon 5)
10:00 - Firefly (and it was never cancelled)

2. What show(s) would you cancel without a moment's hesitation?
Almost any reality show and most sitcoms. Yuck.

3. Is there a show (previously cancelled or just no longer airing) that you'd bring back, original cast and all?
Um...yeah....FIREFLY!!!!

~Bonus~ You get to create one show to put on the schedule, with any stars you choose. Who and what would it be?
Wow. I can't even begin to say....okay, I can begin. First of all, it would be written by Joss Whedon. That's a must. It would star...hmmm... Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Ron Perlman, Natalie Portman, Gary Sinese ('cause he's wasted on CSI:NY), and Allison Mack.
Okay - that was really fast. I keep getting new ideas and can't include them. I don't like this question. :-)

Oh - I almost forgot to mention... I've been listening to The Flaming Lips recently. Fun! I think Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is my favorite.
