The Curiosity Blog

First… this show is fucking horrible. Terrible casting, wooden acting and terrible writing. There was zero chemistry between any of the characters. I didn’t care for a single one of them. However, they did succeed in getting me to hate Carl (more than the rest), but not necessarily in the way in which they would have wanted. His character was written so flat and one-dimensional that in my mind he might as well of been running around on the screen, twirling his moustache dressed like this:

But for whatever reason (perhaps a combination of it being like a car wreck and in preparation for reluctantly sitting through Heroes) I watched the whole season. And in my own deranged way, enjoyed it.  Again, not because it was good, but because it was bad. (If you would like to read a real review on this show, you can find an excellent review here – or here.)

I just watched the season (series?) finale. Though there was some satisfaction, it was not exactly what I would have hoped. When all the main characters get trapped in Jack’s apartment by a gun-wielding man who thinks he will turn into a werewolf, then subsequently eat them, I found myself begging out loud “Please go there!! Please!” because that would have been an epic way for a series of this quality to end.

(It’s on FOX after all and they cancel great shows with low ratings, so why not bad shows with low ratings? oh wait… this is FOX. Actually come to think of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets renewed.)

Unfortunately the only carnage that results out of this situation is one of the younger doctors getting shot in the leg and Jack insisting that the werewolf bite him on the arm so they can both be werewolves together. But alas, they don’t turn into werewolves.

What I did thoroughly enjoy was the last stand between Jack and Carl:

If this show comes back, I’ll most likely continue to watch, but I would be much happier if it didn’t.

I’ve had this domain for some time now – almost a year. Back in October, I purchased it around 4 am after a couple of days without sleep with the determination of using it to share with the world my thoughts and the information I had learned from the numerous questions rolling through my head and the subsequent research for the “answer”. I also thought that it would be a good platform to get me comfortable and more confident with my writing skills (or lack of, depending who you talk to) and putting my thoughts out there for the world to see.

Unfortunately there were a couple of problems with this; a combination of procrastination and lack of ability to focus on any one thing for even a short period of time.

I am an excellent procrastinator. One time in high school I had missed a deadline for submitting a paper, and feared I would get a zero. It wasn’t until after the deadline that I knew what to write about; the reason I didn’t write the paper in the first place, ‘procrastination’. I figured that combined with a good argument for procrastination presented in the paper, I could argue to the teacher that I only handed it in late for added emphasis to my thesis. And it worked.

Now for this blog, I would use excuse after excuse – the worst is that I felt I needed a theme. Okay. True, blogs generally are more “user friendly” if they are not lacking structure or treated like a diary. But the reality is, until I get in to the habit of doing this, I’m pretty much going to post whatever I damn well feel like. Hopefully this will become a habit, I will become more self-discipline and a theme will sprout from it in time.
