The cancellation of Star Trek...the original series!

Some shows airing 1st run in the States this season and last (at least) are available in their entirety on the show's web site starting anywhere from a day to a week after original broadcast. I know Heroes does this, and I think the Stargates do also, maybe Dresden Files. If you have reasonably fast download (or alternatively, a stable slow connection and lots of patience), check around the official websites of shows that interest you.

Oh, and BTW, there was nothing sci fi with anywhere near the quality available on US TV until many years later. I was there .

Surprising to a lot of people is my assertion that Star Trek was not the best of the early (adult) sci fi TV series. I give that nod to "Men into Space", circa 1959, a near future series set roughly in the late 60s/70s, about early orbitals, colonizing the moon, visiting Mars, etc.

Live long and prosper! Man, I miss Spock.



I almost fell off my chair laughing! Whenever I have a bad day I think about Stormbringer and I feel better!  

In Chicago, if we don't like the weather we just wait 10 minutes for it to change.

Buddy, try California.




Too True. Australia, huh? Always held a soft spot in my heart. Fun, but in California, you get to use much superior English, and you can drive and hour and half before you see a care without a bush-bashing sticker, much less one supporting him. Nonetheless, I don't plan on giving in any time soon.

Ah, you learn something every day. No, as you probably figured out, in California, Bush-Bashing refers to our president, and to clear it up, i am republican.

Sorry, I don't know much about Australian politics. I've been too busy trying to fend off vicious, (or viscous, if you prefer) attacks from classmates. I do know the name of John Howard, though. Sounds like fun.


p.s. This is I think the third or 4th conversation i've had with you tonight...

You're probably going to end up being a kidnapper freak who kills me, but It'll probably be worth the entertainment I've gotten tonight.
thx

p.s. what is that picture of yours? I've always wondered...

You want to know who will replace John Howard eh?, well it'll be a guy called Kevin Rudd trying to make politic's appelling to teens.   



Well there's about 8 political parties, two major (labor and liberal) and a couple of minor ones (Nanationals, Greens, Democrats, One Nation etc.) and thats all you need to know. But don't go off about you being the "leader" of the free world if you only allow two political parties to go at each other.

Absolutely true. It seems like the rest of the world gets a wide variety of candidates to choose from. We get two. There is a fair amount of grumbling in the country that "None of the above" should be included on our ballots.



Yeah, but I don't have to fight my way through kangaroos to get to my car in the morning.

Yes, you are quite right that candidates can be from any party that they choose. Where things aren't so fair is the LARGE amounts of money that are required to both back candidates as well as 'nominate' candidates. There should be no reason why if someone has the majority of popular votes at a certain stage of the 'election process' (hah!) they should be forced to come up with what... one million dollars or something like that.

Nope. That's why I strive so hard for accurate thinking. Many people are very passionate about beliefs which are inaccurate.

In Illinois last year we had an election for governor. The Democrat incumbent is, IMO, a fool. The Republican candiate was the incumbent state treasurer, and I wasn't happy with her either. So I voted for the Libertatians out of frustration.

The small victory here was that since so many voters were frustrated, many did the same thing. So, since the Libertarians got more than 15% (I think) of the vote they are guaranteed a spot on the next ballot.

These are all the things that had to happen in order for there to be a third party candidate next time.



You can run. The problem is that you only have a realistic chance if you are a Rep or Dem. Are there any third party members of Congress? I can't remember.
