Found this over on TVSquad— all of the LOST “plane crash” events spliced together to run semi-cohesively. Pretty sweet, and gets me all excited for next season. If you’ve never watched LOST, this will either be a really interesting clip to you, or really boring. Whatever!

Please please please don’t read this if you don’t want to know how this season is going to end.

With that said, the season’s finale sounds like a winner. I can’t wait to actually watch it. And what a mind-trip of an ending!

Selling a picture of a cell phone, and not an actual phone? Judy won’t take that.

Best parts:

“You’re an idiot! And a scammer!”

“Why don’t you get a job?!”

According to Dark Horizons, the trailer will premiere March 19th on television during the premiere episode of ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars”.

And here’s a whole new round of photos, which Disney will most likely force me to take down. Makes a lot of sense, don’t it? Would be the worst thing in the world to allow free promotion for the film!

Is anyone really surprised about this news? I mentioned that some titles had been cracked in my last DRM rant, but now everything is wide open. At least the titles that are currently available.

They (the movie studios) could revoke this key, forcing the software/hardware players to have to push out a software/firmware upgrade, or if that’s not possible, replace people’s players. How stupid crazy is that?

Since it’s most likely a software player that was used to compromise the key, people will have to download a patch to the latest version. Is this patch going to be 100% free? What if the version is really out of date? What if this happens again, but two major revisions of the software later? Will the older version users automatically get upgraded to the latest, or will they have to pay to watch the latest titles?

Just, ugh. We as consumers need to grow a pair, and tell the studios off. But that’ll never happen. And meanwhile, the people who wanted it for free/to steal in the first place have it, without having to deal with patches or firmware updates or players that don’t play.

I love MythBusters. They remind me of Mr. Wizard. If you know who that is, you get a cookie. Anyways, here's some video I found on YouTube of MythBuster bloopers, as well as some more "flatus" myths that didn't make it to air, such as "Do Girls Pass Gas?" and "Can You Light Your Farts On Fire?" Hah.

Ugh. I was looking forward to UPN and WB merging, but the CW is junk. I won’t even get started on the programming (it’s bad enough on its own) but my main beef is with their “HD” content. They take standard definition shows and zoom in on them slightly, leaving small black lines on the left and right.

Lame.

Another thing… the only two shows I watch on “The CW” are Smallville (don’t make fun of me!) and Veronica Mars. Both are filmed and broadcast in HD… when The CW feels like it. I’m not sure if it’s a problem with my local carrier/affiliate, but half the time the shows remain in standard definition, with the “Available in HD” flashing at the bottom of the screen, mocking me.

Arg!

I wrote a letter to their network site, and my local affiliate, and haven’t heard back. Didn’t think they’d write me back, anyhow. What do they care? They’re getting their advertising dollars, right?

This is somewhat bittersweet for me. I’ve loved this show, and it’s been one of my favorite sci-fi series, next to Farscape. But you really do have to admit it’s been on a reaaally long time. I’m just bummed that Ben Browder and Claudia Black will be disappearing so soon as well. The show just had it’s 200th episode, which is unheard of in most television series. I believe it sets a world record..

P.S. — If you’ve never seen the show, and/or you didn’t watch the 200th episode.. the image to the right is going to be verrry confusing.
