Quotes from Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory sitcom

Check out these quotes from my current favourite comedy show:

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is CANCELLED!

i am not a big fan of the Terminator franchise, but this show really ROCKS! it deals with not only the sci-fi stuff (actually less of the sci-fi stuff) but also the emotional well-being of the main characters, especially John Connor. i wonder what the new movie would be like... going to watch it soon!

i guess tv shows and movies these days don't like to have who is the good people, and who is the bad people, and the good people ALWAYS win, that kind of shit. this is most likely due to the fact that the audience (ie. real people) like to watch tv shows or movies that reflect on real situations.

for me watching tv shows and movies is a form of getting away from the real world! as if we don't have enough problems in the real world, we have to reflect them on the reel world! bring back those "i am a REAL hero, and not some EMO hero" shows! then again, i have to admit that the shows these days have their own appeal.

anyway, here's a video showing this CRACKED UP Thomas Dekker (the actor acting as John Connor) trying to save Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles:

man he's high!

TheAvt's TV Ranking #10 - Death Note

"The human whose name is written in this note[book] shall die."

These are the first words read in the Death Note by Light Yagami, a straight-A student who develops a god complex when he finds a notebook, dropped by shinigami Ryuk, that has the power to kill anyone whose name is written down in it. However, matters get out of hand when the Japanese Police Force tries to solve the case of the mysterious upsurge in criminal deaths alongside master detective L.

TheAvt's TV Ranking #7 - Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex

It is a time when, even if nets were to guide all consciousness that had been converted to photons and electrons toward coalescing, standalone individuals have not yet been converted into data to the extent that they can form unique components of a larger complex.

Based on the manga by Shirō Masamune and made popular world-wide by Mamoru Oshii's 1995 cyberpunk classic, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex adds more to the rich, philosophical tale of the fusion between man and machine.

Frank Herbert's Children of Dune

Again brought to live by Sci-Fi Channel, the sequel to Frank Herbert's Dune, and based on the Dune Messiah and Children of Dune novels, Frank Herbert's Children of Dune was very nicely done.

I think it is comparable to the two novels.  The show basically compacted both the Dune Messiah and Children of Dune novels.  However, instead of getting two 9-year-olds to play Leto and Ghanima, they got two 19-year-olds.

Frank Herbert's Dune

Brought to live by Sci-Fi Channel, this Dune TV series is somewhat different from the Dune novel, like how people died and events being altered.

However, I liked it better than the original movie, mainly because of the updated technology and without the "cat and mouse"!

Still, it did not live up to the standards of the novel.  I suppose nothing will for now.

TheAvt's TV Ranking #2 - Star Trek - Deep Space Nine

When the Cardassian occupation of Bajor ended in 2369, the mining space-station Terok Nor was left abandoned, its systems ripped out. By invitation of the provisional Bajoran government, Starfleet stepped in to oversee the rebuilding and day-to-day operations of the newly christened Deep Space Nine.

Starfleet's position was a tentative one, many Bajorans suspicious and unwelcoming as a result of Cardassian oppression and brutality. However the alliance held and soon DS9 was a center of travel and commerce thanks to a newly found stable wormhole, leading to the largely unexplored Gamma Quadrant.

Star Trek - The Animated Series

This is the further adventures of the Star Trek series in a half-hour animated form. This show basically continues the adventures of the original series (presumably in the fourth year of the five-year mission), but takes advantage of the unlimited special effects provided by animation to introduce more alien crewmen (the felinoid M'Ress and the tripedal Arex) as well as introduce more elaborate adventures like an underwater adventure, the miniaturization of the crew to 1 cm., and the appearance of a giant fire-breathing two-headed dragon.
