Dear LJ if you don't stop spamming my livejournal with evil worste buy ads every time I reply to a post, I am downgrading to basic status - the heck with 15 icons and photobucket.

Highly annoying, particularly considering my current attitude towards best worste buy.

They did, however, send/ship to me the Farscape Complete Series - DVD - which is the 1oth Anniversary edition sans The Peacekeeper Wars. It is exactly as they advertised it - 26 discs, all four seasons, plus an archive disc (would rather have had The Peacekeeper Wars than the Archive Disc, but I guess I can always buy The Peacekeeper Wars from Amazon, it's also on my Xmas Wish List.). Note to anyone interested - The Peacekeeper Wars were NOT included in the Bestbuy set. Whomever said otherwise either got a special deal and paid a bit more. Or they are lying. I'm guessing the former.

They never sent me the Star Trek DVD that they promised. All they did was set up an account with my credit card that I did not authorize nor request. But hey, at least I got my Farscape DVD's which are quite pretty. So is the box. And they are the complete series with all the special interviews, making of, behind the scenes, etc. Only thing missing is the 4 hour miniseries that wrapped up the series, which I can always get via Amazon. And it was for a lot less than I could have gotten it previously...$69.99 plus shipping and handling isn't too bad. If you're eager - there's a great and far better deal right now for the series at Amazon - and it is the same package, just for a lot cheaper.

Kitchen Sink Post...Flashforward, Dollhouse, EW, Lists...etc.

Cold today and will be again tomorrow. Also sort of overcast...with ugly gray clouds. Yeah, I'm feeling poetic tonight, can't you tell?

EW went nutty over lists again. EW is an entertainment magazine, which I subscribed to because of a purchase via worste buy. And just never got around to cancelling. I sort of enjoy it and it is cheap. But it does like to torture me with inane covers of Twilight stars.
Stephen King' - top 10 TV shows of 2009 list was a featured attraction in the mag - I only agreed with one of his picks (Lost), not suprising that - King is anything if not predictable in his tastes. He listed one show I'd never heard of, it only aired in the UK, and it concerns a world taken over by zombies - except for a reality tv show - Big Brother House, which the zombies have surrounded. Odd I haven't heard of this one, considering my correspondence list has a lot of zombie loving, sci-fi geek Brits on it. So.... what is Dead Set and why haven't you mentioned it? I'm guessing you didn't care one way or the other about it? I've noticed that people only mention things online that they a)love, or b)revile/hate/despise, and definitely c) don't think anyone will revile/think less of them for loving or hating. The other lists were about the decade. And I thought - "decade??" Wait, we're at the decade mark now? Whoa! Can't we wait until 2011 first? I felt much the same way in 1999 to be honest. I thought it made more sense to wait until 2000/2001. But the world clearly disagrees with me. So who am I to quibble. Haven't come up with my own list, but I blatantly disagree with some of the items on EW's. Agreed with a couple on the top 100 events in pop culture, but not with the ones on the individual lists. Will take a while to devise my own, still working on 2009 - which need I remind you, is not over yet!
