Tomorrow I will be a Cylon no more...

:( I'm at Level 37 (99.11%) so I pretty sure that just by posting this blog I will be at Level 38 tomorrow. Farewell, Cylon level. And while I'm here - "Frak!" :) By the way, I'd like to mention to people who contribute to my guides that scripts downloaded off the net often have loads of errors in them like mispelled names and misquoted text/script lines. I would recommend turning on your closed captioning while watching an episode not copying-and-pasting from some random-person-transcribed script you found on the net for free. Do most people get both The CW and My Network TV without a cable box? People keep coming down on their ratings but it has been my experience that most people get only one of these stations in their area. I also noticed that during the UPN/WB consolidation the CW picked mostly former WB stations but didn't pay attention to whether the stations could be received without a cable box. In my area you couldn't get The WB without a cable box and you couldn't get UPN with one (you had to unplug to box to watch something on UPN). I'm just thinking that The CW and My Network TV should be labeled cable stations since it seems that most people only have access to both with a cable box. If they viewed them that way then the ratings would be high/average for a cable station not constantly last place among basic networks. Yakira .

To people contributing to the guides I edit...

[color=#966400]Please include sources when submitting episode names, episode air dates, production codes, trivia, notes, and allusions.[/color] I'm going hardcore on this rule. If you submit something to my guide and it doesn't come with a source so I can verify the information that you are trying to edit/add then I will reject it. This rule does not apply to quotes for obvious reasons. When it comes to quotes the most crucial elements I look for are format and to make sure that characters' names are spelled correctly. Of course making sure that you are submitting a quote to the episode it actually appeared in doesn't hurt. For more details take a look here. Happy submitting, Yakira EDIT: Check out this awesomeblog.

Hey, Look! I Found the Time To Write A Blog...

...about absolutely nothing. Loving Dollhouse. Happy Burn Notice is back. I like it so much more than Mad Men. My birthday is coming up. Wanna see if I can set up a little competition among a few TV.com members to see who can pick the most pilots that will survive in the coming TV season. Maybe do it as a monthly thing. Seems they will be introducing new series all year long. See you around. Yakira

I Think It Was Easy To Go After The Black Guy

So as a new season begins I'm motivated to finally clear this out of my closet. A lot of people have ask for my opinion of this situation and I've decided that now is when I'll say something. Partly because all the new info will overwhelm this little blog of mine and partly because it took me this long to make up my mind on how I felt. . . I wasn't there. I like pretty much everyone else in the world including a majority of the people who volunteered their judgements and opinions wasn't there. I can't say what did or didn't happen, or who started it, or if it was meant the way it was interpreted by the press. I don't know the people involved and don't think that I'll ever meet them. But regardless of all that this thing sticks out to me: I think it was easy to go after the black guy. . . . So often people use mean words to hurt each other and I think that is a part of what can make the world a sometimes unpleasant place to be. But so many people use so many mean words and so many people use this mean word, but only one guy, who happened to black, lost his job. The American press and society as a whole has a well-known habit of making minorites the face of crime and people who cause others pain. And anyone who does the smallest bit of research knows why that's unfair. There is so much I could say about this issue but basically I think it all boils down to this: I do not think that people should direct hate towards one another because it does anything but make the world a safer place. Anyone who has been attacked with words of hate has the right to defend themselves. But I wish that the people who went after this man and made him a poster boy of hate would spend the same amount of time and energy going after every other person who sits in a position of power and uses hate and fear to make sure that some people get treated like less than human beings. In America, going after the black guy has always been easy but that doesn't make it right and it doesn't make it the only option. I hope that in the coming months I will see those who fought so hard to get this man put in the doghouse, fighting just as hard or maybe harder to put people who actually have the power to affect their civil rights put in the same place. I hope I will, But sadly I doubt it. . . If you know what I talking about that alone speaks volumes. . . I will not be clarifying any other particulars of this opinion. You may conjecture on the specific incident but I urge you to pay a lot more attention to the ramifications of the topic on society as a whole.
