sometimes the tv comes out of the background and actually gets most of my attention... in other words, sometimes i actually watch the screen and listen at the same time... most of today was spent catching up on the end of season one and the start of season two of heroes, a show i might still want to re-watch even if i did see every episode the first time and even if the emo-eye candy of that particular cheerleader was not on the show... the start of season two was a major disappointment as so many loose threads were left disconnected and so many story lines just got stupid (a technical term for lack of or at least incongruous imagination... maybe they were pandering to superficial ideas for audience expansion or they simply ran out of ideas), but since i can auto-record and watch on dvr whenever i feel like it, i might watch season two and three since i missed some, maybe many of those episodes the first time around...
after watching and deleting all the heroes episodes, i moved on to dead like me and animaniacs and a few others and then a favorite personality, morgan freeman... i noticed that in between pandering to religion (maybe the producers thought a pure science show would not sell well) and titillating the paranoids (a popular selling point for any media these days), through the wormhole is pretty cool... one show i decided to watch more than once was the brain hacking show as neuroscience has always been a favorite field for me... and so i wandered through the ibrain and was happy to see the possibilities for stephen hawking (who is seventy?... wow, good medical science) and others with the same needs... and i think the visual dictionary idea is another fascinating project with many great potential uses... but then there is still a lot of exploitation (might as well ask marc salem... or moshe botwinick, for that matter) in the show, as in life... still, trial and error may take a long time, but like Edison, one might get lucky now and then...
