Interesting Articles of the Day
Sep. 16th, 2014 07:20 pmRemember in Iron Man 2 where Tony just seemed to combine light to form his new element that basically looked like a crystal before proceeding to use it as a more efficient energy source and everyone went, "That's so STUPID and UNBELIEVABLE! Why do these comic books movies have to be so unrealistic?"
Well, they made it happen in real life so who's laughing now?

This happened, too. Of course, BP will fight this, but the fact remains that they killed thousands if not millions of non-human citizens of the Gulf, ruined ecosystems for the foreseeable future, ruined the livelihoods of coastal businesses, cost other businesses millions of dollars, gave humans lifetime illnesses and most important...THEY KILLED ELEVEN HUMANS!
If this was a war, we could have them convicted of war crimes.

New Fall Television
Sep. 16th, 2014 11:43 pmEntertainment Weekly finally had their Fall TV Preview issue so I can plan my viewing.
However, for the first time since I started reading them in 1993, they didn't have a proper grid to plan what to watch live and what to DVR and whatever. They had their recommendations but their recommendations including choosing Utopia over The Flash which I would never do.
TV Guide to the rescue...

Star Wars Rebels 9-9:30 PM EST Monday
Castle ABC 10-11 PM EST Monday

Plus, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report and Saturday Night Live. However, everyone changing around and being at the same time actually freed me a lot. I feel like I can watch whatever I want to or even not watch the late night programming entirely.
WHERE IS MY PARKS AND RECREATION?????? And I have to wait until 2015 for more Finding Carter??
DVR!!!!!:
The Simpsons Fox 8-8:30 PM EST Sunday
Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories Cartoon Network 12:15-12:30 AM EST Thursday
Shows that I feel obligated to watch at least once because of reasons but don't have much hope for:
Scorpion CBS 9-10 PM EST Monday
It had Robert Patrick and Eddie Kaye Thomas and looks like CBS wants in on the SHIELD action, so with the right writers, it could be good...could.
Jane the Virgin CW 9-10 PM Monday
The people who bought you Ugly Betty bring you another series about a plucky Latino based off a telenovela. This is a maybe because Ugly Betty had good and bad parts to it and I'm not sure which will win out here or it'll be the same way.
Red Band Society Fox 9-10 PM EST Wednesday
It could be fun...or I could end up rooting for all of them to die.
black-ish 9:30-10 PM EST Wednesday
I'll try anything with Anthony Anderson once.
American Horror Story: Freak Show FX 10-11 PM EST Wednesday
I always lose my desire to watch after the first episode and this take place in Florida so I might give up halfway through the first episode.
How to Get Away with Murder ABC 10-11 PM EST Thursday
I used to like Shonda Rimes, or at least watch all her stuff, but now I gave up on Scandal and I only watch Grey's Anatomy on sporadic occasions.
Shows that I watch if my other shows at that time are reruns and I remember about it:
Madam Secretary CBS 8-9 PM EST Sunday
Tea Leoni being basically Hillary Clinton! I need this, but why does it have to be at the same time as everything else?
Selfie ABC 8-8:30 PM EST Tuesday
John Cho and Karen Gillan!
Happyland MTV 11-12 AM EST Tuesday
I'm a sucker for amusement parks, but it's MTV so it could be good or bad.
Bad Judge NBC 9-9:30 PM EST Thursday
Kate Walsh in a comedy!
Shows that I will watch when I get a free HBO/Showtime weekend:
Boardwalk Empire HBO 9-10 PM EST Sunday
The Newsroom HBO 9-10 PM EST Sunday
Shows that I've dumped:
Sleepy Hollow Fox 9-10 PM EST Monday
A Young Doctor's Notebook Ovation 10 PM-? Wednesday
Scandal ABC 9-10 PM EST Thursday
I've been so spoiled by Entertainment Weekly's Marvel coverage that I was actually disappointed with how small the coverage was in this issue...I really wanted to see that new cast photo on glossy paper on a large scale. But maybe Peggy Carter will be the front of the mid-season preview?
