TC the Terrible

In looking for a way to fix the problem with my style sheet, I came across an entirely new format that looked much better than anything else being offered by Blogger.  It took several tries to get all the coding moved over and de-bugged, but I think the results were more than worth it.

I guess this major of a re-set qualifies as a new version, so perhaps I should change the name to TC the Terrible v2.0.

Here’s your thought for the day.

Great achievement requires great risk, and great risk sometimes means terrible losses. Work for perfection, but accept the danger, and don’t shy from the truth.

It came from a really good article on the future of NASA over at ABC News.com.

More later.

I’ve already told you guys that the E-Ring is going to suck. But don’t take my word for it, after all it’s not like I work in and around “The Building” (yes we do call it that) five days a week. From seeing the ads in theaters and on network TV I can tell you that they got the look of the building wrong from the start. But what else should you expect when the costume people can’t even get the uniform right from scene to scene?

The TV critic at USA Today said:

The bizarrely paired stars here are Benjamin Bratt and Dennis Hopper, competing to see who can deliver the more grating, scenery-chewing, testosterone-crazed performance. Bratt wins, but it’s a close contest.
It’s hard to imagine what Hopper is doing in a show like this, but whatever it is, he’s not doing it well. The best that can be said for Bratt is that it’s not completely his fault that J.T. comes across as a jerk.

That makes me want to watch, how about you?

The Washington Post was trying to be kind (I think) by saying:

The show is perhaps best described as harmlessly expendable, not worth the energy it would take to wish it ill. But for Bratt, the most crucial mission may be to hop on his bike and pedal hard toward a new time slot.

The New York Times was neutral for the most part, if you can call describing E-Ring as “the chest-pounding, inept new NBC series”. Boy that’s a ringing (get it) endorsement of a new show.

I tend to like Jerry Bruckheimer’s shows, being one of the few people that actually makes a point to watch CSI:NY every week. This one just comes off as too lame from the beginning. There is a lot of action and drama every day in the Pentagon, but it’s not the kind that makes for exciting television. If Jerry Bruckheimer could find a way to make cranking out numbers and PowerPoint slides exciting to watch then he might have an accurate show on his hands.

Will I be watching the season premier tonight? Of course I will. THE WOMAN and SECOND DAUGHTER, FIRST MARRIAGE (SDFM) both have a real thing for Benny Bratt. Hell, if I had a TiVO I’d spend the night hitting rewind and pointing out all of the mistakes.
