Re: President Obama

2008-11-05 Thread T Freitas
Ooh!  Ooh!  I do!  They're everywhere!  Though, since I'm in Hawaii, it
could just be a coincidence.

BTW, Hawaii voted Obama in by the largest margin in the country: 72% to
McCain's 27%.  And I've heard more than one person grumble about the news
media saying he's from Illinois (technically true, but we're a proud state
at the moment.)

I'm in Hawaii - that's about as "Pacific" as you can get.  I haven't been

Re: [misc] Season Premier of Stargate Atlantis

2009-01-11 Thread T Freitas
ok, to be precise, Atlantis, the city, did not die.  Atlantis, the TV
series, did die.  Stargate Universe is a different show, much like SG-1 and
Atlantis were two different shows.  From the sci-fi website:

*Described as edgier and younger in tone than the two previous series,
Universe follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians who must fend
for themselves as they are forced through a Stargate when their hidden base
comes under attack.

The desperate survivors emerge aboard an Ancient ship missing in the far
reaches of space. As they fight to survive, Dr. Rush (Carlyle) works to
unlock the mysteries of the ship and return the group home, but evidence of
his ulterior motives soon arises.*


I'm such a geek.

Re: [media] devastating deconstruction of CNN's plane crash coverage

2013-07-07 Thread T Freitas
Sadly, CNN is usually my default as well (for lack of a less infuriating TV
news source). The "horrifying" debate was between Don Lemon & and a
pilot/"expert". Don was infuriating, asking questions that had JUST been
answered & arguing/dismissing the experts he was interviewing.

I also couldn't figure out why he was interviewing Richard Quest (in
London), about a SF plane crash - not discussing, interviewing.

I never made it to Wolf Blitzer. Had to turn off the TV before my head
exploded.
