Nice little article from Grantland about the guys from TNG:
Itās a pretty simple formula - take a hot girl, make her a geek and watch nerds flock. Iām sort of annoyed by it because it seems sort of like pandering to a demographic. I mean, if the pandering is incidental, thatās ok, but i donāt think it is. However, Iām also not going to argue with seeing Zooey each week in nerdy glasses and cute dressesā¦
TNG is funny, I like it, but how on earth is her kind of ānerdyā more normal then BBT nerdy? She still comes off as totally strange and socially ineptā¦
Edit: Unless youāre referring more to the guys, ok I could see that, but then I wouldnāt really put them in the same class description as BBT anyway.
BBT?
Big Bang Theory
well her whole style is pretty indy geek. not even just this showā¦her singing to her choices in movies. i honestly think thats just who she is and not just the part she potrays in hollywood but i could be wrong.
Oh, donāt get me wrong, I donāt think Zooey is pandering, I think the network execs areā¦
ohā¦totally.
FX is on an amazing roll of TV shows right now, nothing they put out is bad.
Televisions are pretty cool.
Picked up the Blackadder Remastered ā The Ultimate Edition setā¦Iāve been reading rave reviews on it.

Watching this on History channel. Damn good info. Required viewing for all srk zombie apocalypse survivalists, and it might just come in handy in the near futureā¦Iran IS nuking up, you knowā¦
Anybody happen to watch that new show Homeland after the Dexter premiere? Good friggin stuff and it has that weird red-headed guy from Life which just adds to the goodness.
For anyone who isnāt familiar with it, the showās about a thought-to-be-dead POW who gets rescued, only some thing heās been turned and is now spying/planning an attack on American soil. Much of the show is figuring out whether or not heās a terrorist now. Of course thereās other stuff like the drama of him returning home to his family (the details of which I wonāt spoil) and some other stuff. If you get chance, you should definitely check it out.
Ok before this thread goes any further; The New Girl will not be referred to as TNG anymore but simply as NG. I refuse to have Star Trekās The Next Generationās rep tarnished by mistaken acronyms.
I thought it felt wrong calling it TNG but couldnāt put my finger on why. Thanks Val.
I never liked Trek. Let this add to the reasons.
Ok, Iām not REALLY that into Terra Nova, but Iām giving it a chance so farā¦theyāve fulfilled some basic expectations already by having at least 1 person become a snack for a dinosaur, along with having some pretty hot ass on the show. This broad right here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0174909/ is gorgeous, and she just bent over a little while ago in some very small booty-shorts. I happened to tune in just in time to catch that bend over sceneā¦ Iām surprised they even showed it, since most networks appear to be afraid of showing a hot ass when the woman is wearing small shorts or a short skirt. Anyway, she also gets bonus points for having a british accentā¦ at first glance I thought she was Parminder Nagra (adorable little piece of hot Indian assā¦ I watched ER simply because she was on it), but apparently not. ā¦but yeah, *Rogue One *was surprisingly good.
The oldest daughter on the show looks good too.
I also need to check out The New Girlā¦yes, my interest in that show is purely because Zooey D. is on there.
Universal Soldier TV series?
I guess it could work if they took it seriously enough. Since theyāre saying itād be a reboot, that gives them a ton of freedom to craft a decent mytho. After the awesome series which was Battlestar Galactica, any sci-fi reboot/re-imagining gets a chance with me.
ah, finally I get to see The New Girl. Zooey is indeed absolutely adorable. This girl defines new levels of cute/hotnessā¦she looks like a beautiful cartoon/comic book character that somehow became a real beingā¦gorgeous.
āRingerā is losing me, but CW still dominates when it comes to the TnA content. Thereās so much hot ass on the shows from that network itās ridiculous. About 5 years and 3 months from now, I farted. Yeah Iām posting from the future, muthafuckas!
