Compared to the general state of the world, things like sporting events and pop culture are astoundingly trivial. Now that the caveat is out of the way, let's obsess about the Major League Baseball playoffs . Also, it's time for the new fall TV season. Now, while most of television is still a vast wasteland, there are a few shows which demand my attention on a weekly basis. Brad Whitford carried the show quite well, giving his captive high school tour group good food for thought while Toby and CJ squared off in the background.
Debate is good.
As a Star Trek nerd, I am, of course, hyped about Enterprise . Here's hoping for better quality in future scripts. My friend and neighbor Brett is responsible for showing me the greatness of Buffy the Vampire Slayer . I mean, how ridiculous. But it's really good very clever, richly written, brilliantly funny, and surprisingly poignant, considering the lead character spends a lot of time running around kicking demon ass.
