Asymptomatic

Seen the news about getting TV over your FIOS fiber line? Just a matter of time.

Here is a graph of the price of gas since 1979.

Have you caught any of the new shows so far?  Last week I saw a few.

Berta and I watched Supernatural, and I talked to the guys on Saturday night about it. The show is about two brothers whose mother was immolated in a supernatural event when they were young.  Their father has apparently been hunting down supernatural things ever since, sometimes with their help.  The younger of the two brothers goes to college and is doing well outside of this life when his brother shows up and says that their dad has gone missing for an unusually long length of time.  Certain events unfold, and the two of them head out on a mission to find their dad.

The guys and I feel basically the same way.  The first show came off a little flat.  There were also some strange inconsistencies that I hope don't permeate the whole show.  For example,  did the one brother really expect to get away with showing a fake ID to the police and claiming he was with the FBI?  I hope that doesn't become a cliche, like it's his "special power" - impersonating authority.

It's been a long summer, and maybe I'm just expecting a little more from my TV than a good idea handed to $5/episode writers.  That's what I feel like I'm getting.  But what else does TV have to offer this season?  Let's see...

Blizzard’s online game World Of Warcraft has been plagued by a… plague. Low-level characters are keeling over left and right.
