An un-seen episode of “The Prisoner”
I am psychically unwell this morning… no, I don’t mean I’m receiving bad telepathy, I mean I am in a state of mental unbalance. Like my consciousness spent too much time on a ride at the Salem Fair.
Rough dreams last night… the first one directly influenced by the TV Rain was watching last night. I dreamed I was Sarah Jessica Parker’s character on Sex and the City, pregnant, and being chased by government agents who wanted the Pelican Brief. (oookaaayyy…)
After the agents were stopped, they handed me my baby, and I broke down and cried. Just bawled. The only reason that’s pertinent is that, when I woke up, I felt emotionally like I really had cried, for a good long time… just wrung out and clouded.
But the dreams didn’t end there… I dreamed that I woke up – everything in the dream became hyper-clear. I got up, and went to the window in another room that overlooks the residential road. It seemed to be around 3 or 4 am. An 18-wheeler with way too many running lights drove by at a casual pace… there was a burst of golden sparks, like fireworks. When they cleared, the street was empty… until a light blue, t-shaped, levitating object bigger than a car cruised by just as casually. I left the window, convinced that I’d seen something I wasn’t supposed to have seen, and I was going to regret it shortly… it wouldn’t be a friendly Will Smith coming to neuralize me, oh no.
So when I finally woke up for real, I felt wrung out, clouded, paranoid and worried.
Good way to start the day, huh?
So, I sent wave after wave of my own men at the killbots…
According to GotFuturama.com, Futurama has been put on production hiatus next season. Apparently, the show’s been pre-empted so much by sporting events, that they have a season’s worth of unseen episodes to air. The problem is, this amounts to cancelling the show next year, as the cast and production crew will all need to find other work next season to pay the bills, and probably won’t be available when Fox gets around to ordering new episodes.
There’s an online petition with about 35,000 signatures pleading with Fox to rethink their decision. I guess we’ll wait and see…
Crass. Just crass.
Nick just told me about a new Fox gameshow. “The Chamber”, that ran last night. Apparently, it’s come down to out-and-out torture for money.
So how long does everyone think it’ll be before we fence off the openings in a football stadium and go back to throwing people in there with lions? The Fox Network will jump at that, I’m sure…
