Things I watch on Screens:

[wednes]

H and I are going to see The Happening after I get done working tonight. It has gotten terrible reviews, but we have always loved M Night's films. It's sad that he gets pigeonholed as the "twist" guy and then criticized for not continueing to give people the very thing they are bitching about. The Village was handled terribly from a PR standpoint, it's a great little film. M Night is a great storyteller, and I'm excited to see what he has in store for me next. Unbreakable being one of the best movies I have ever seen.

The half-assed finale of BattleStar Galactica was a shocker. I say half assed because there's another half a season coming up in, I think January. They built up this crazy bunch of cylon related suspense and then...resolved it by the end of the episode, only to find Earth. What did they think was gonna be there when there are no sattelites, no communication with them, no people reacting one way or another? Big Adama finally has a girlfriend, and he takes her to a nuclear wasteland.
No frills!

Got my copy of LOST season three in the mail today. First chance I get, I'm gonna watch that season finale. Most of that season is slow and Kate-intensive. But that finale is some Hugo-lovin' goodness. I'm excited to see how they're filling up 7 whole discs.

And finally, I'd like to let everyone know that pool for the Wii (located on Wii Play) is the shizznit. H and I have been playing tons of it, and I finally got a platinum medal for my efforts. Woo Hoo!

Has BSG done the "found earth, only it's not really earth" thing yet?

I suspect this will be the case with the next season. It will be an earth, but not the Earth.

Well, they just landed on earth only to find that it's a wasteland. But it sure looked like Earth.

What they're talking about on the SciFi forum is that when they showed Earth as a teaser last year we saw a distinct outline of the southeast US. This Earth was shrouded in clouds. Lots of folks swear that skyline is New York seen from Jersey, but lots of folks swear it isn't too.

I've also read that Revelations was supposed to be THE finale if the writer's strike hadn't ended when it did.

But the push into 2009 has given them rewrite time.

Interesting.

I'm glad there will be a few more eps.
I want a somewhat happier ending...then again, I want it realistic, which means hardship.

I guess I don't know how I want it to end, I'll just have to trust them.

I guess the wasteland means they are not going to be remaking "Galactica 1980".

Well praise Yaweh for that!

I suspect it *is* The Earth -- and while it's not habitable, it does have a secret the will lead the Hulons to their new home.

That's highly likely.
