more dvr

yes, this dvr thing is addictive (the current dvr shows are on the right), especially when some recent favorite shows have been on... i mentioned the on-going heroes marathon which continues at a pace of two shows per weekday and most of the through the wormhole episodes have passed through the dvr and into the brain, but there's so much more... the outer limits and alfred hitchcock presents and animaniacs are coming about the same as heroes at about two episodes per weekday... the old hitchcocks still hold up most of the time as stories, though the social interactions and wardrobe just gets more dated all the time... some of the outer limits, like other supposedly sci-fi stories, are betrayed by western religious blind faith (as if it's the only explanation for the unknown and even aliens follow western religious) it is quite disappointing to the potential of imagination these shows are supposed to be stretching...

some shows are just tossing a few episodes out there each weekend (or even just one a week like the river, which i skipped the first time around), so they are not all-at-once marathons... and editing is destroying some of these shows... like dead like me, which is so freaking edited it is a mockery of the original... and haven, which sometimes makes me wonder if stephen king had anything to do with the show... and the original twilight zone series was last week while dated, still... and just today the latest twilight zone series ran all day long... some of those were so cheezy, going for the laughs instead of the eerie (must have had some mediocre situation comedy writers mixed in with the mediocre drama writers re-writing the old episodes and inventing a few new ones)... and amazing stories are missing from the mix though... but there is at least some twists beyond the stale drama of reality tv...

obviously, a week and i am losing so many brain cells that i am forgetting how to express myself... excuse the boring, aye?...
