    It wasn't a religious ending as most people seem to have thought ... they weren't angels, they seem more like ideas ... they represent the inevitability of destruction as the end product of technological progress. The question: is technological progress doomed to lead to our own destruction? The answer: yes, unless we all start to take a degree of individual responsibility. I like the way they resolved the discussion ... love me a bit of Kierkegaard.

        It is a great show, did you watch any of the walking dead marathon this weekend? Ran the whole series and then the pilot ran in black and white. 4 minute trailer premiers at comic con this weekend so we should be able to see it by Monday.

        As for the return, the show comes back in October not sure on the date.

            "Kara Thrace and her Special Destiny" was always the heart of the show for me, making her a magical non-corporal being ruined all of that for me....I've actually built a whole ret-con thing in my head where Kara is the first human-cylon hybrid, with her father being Daniel, the lost/boxed cylon

              "The Shield" had the absolute best ending of any series I've seen

                No, I didn't watch any of the stuff this weekend but it's all just re-released stuff, right?
                Yeah it was just fun to watch some of the stuff from season 1 that wasn't as fresh in my mind. The scene with the guts on the street is still great and the pilot is amazing.

                    I'm still not sure where she fits in or why. Obviously from a plot development perspective she was central. But you know they had something deeper in mind ... I really don't feel like dredging through the fan-boards to see what the received wisdom is.

                    They could easily have achieved the same goal without doing that ...

                      My wife and I recorded all of them. We have watched the first 4. While I am not ready to put it my top 10 favs, it is a pretty good ride so far. I do look forward to seeing what comes next.

                        So for those of you that watch Breaking Bad you probably know it's filmed in Albuquerque. So my wife and I have been going slowly through the series, although we probably should have been watching it all along, and are almost done with Season 2.

                        You guys remember how Jesse gets an apartment next door to that chick he starts banging? That's my old apartment from when I was finishing up my undergrad! It's right on the corner of Lead and Terrace close to UNM. The place is actually a 4-plex, although they make it look like a duplex. The door that Walt kicks in when Jesse is all smacked out on heroin when Walt has to sell the 38 lbs. of meth to the secret dealer guy was my old door!

                        Pretty neat, at least for me.
                        I love stuff like this. Thanks for sharing.

                        A year ago April, my wife and I met the horse in The Walking Dead. That horse is an amazing animal and is one of the best trained horses around today. His name is Blade and he is owned by Tommy Turvey. Tommy is a great guy. He is a stuntman and horse trainer.
