Stuff on TV

One more episode of Supernatural season one left. These guys kill me. Especially Dean. Oh, Dean. :(

Flipped back and forth between CSI and tonight's SPN. Ended up watching the last ten minutes of SPN because I am a horrible person and sometimes just consume spoilers like Cookie Monster consumes plates of chocolate chip cookies. And I was curious, okay?

Plus, CSI. What shocking thing were they going to pull in the last ten minutes? (Oh, God. They probably pulled something shocking...Eh. If it didn't involve Wendy and Hodges hooking up or Nick and Greg declaring their undying love, I don't care.)

Meanwhile, I saw a commercial for Star Trek today that gave me such a serious moment of WTF? I had to call someone. It quoted a review that said, "Star Trek is this generation's Star Wars."

What does that even mean?

Because there's only, what?, an 11 year gap between the beginning of the Trek franchise and the first Star Wars movie. That's not a generation. And there's only been 10 years since the prequels. Whatever way you look at it, that commercial is dumb.

it's because they have interns writing the copy for commercials. UGH!!! it's cheaper that way, but in reality they should get a professional to write for them. grumble.

That makes a lot of sense.

When I saw the commercial, my first thought was that someone who lived in a hole wrote it and thought Trek was a new thing. It's such a part of pop culture, even if you're not a fan, that the possibility of no one catching such a weird thing surprised me.

I keep seeing one that just shows a few explosions and EVERY POSSIBLE PSEUDO-SEXUAL SCENE IN THE MOVIE and that's it. And it just makes me so incredibly disappointed in the world.

I HATE THOSE. That's why I wasn't as excited to see it as I would have been otherwise. Bah, marketing.

Though I like the ones that are heavy on the Kirk and Spock and appeal to my love of subtexty text.
