Let’s just say that I don’t think season 1 aged very well.  Oh, those 90s clothes and haircuts.  I just can’t get over the horror of them.

Anyway, I think I’m going to start getting more selective, and watch either the mythology arc with all the “Monster of the Week” episodes trimmed out, or do it the other way around.

  1. Yeah, I was one of those “X-Philes” people back in the day. ↩

Granted, I think many Discovery Channel programs tend to have too high a ratio of production value (flashy graphics and melodramatic narration) vs actual content (you know, science), but this commercial still gets me all tingly and makes me feel good to be a wonder junkie.

(Adding, I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.)

Did you know that? I sure didn’t.

I am in constant awe at the amount of crazy shit that I still don’t know about this world.

Clearly I need to quit work for the day.  No more Genius will spill forth onto the page when my brain is spewing out that kind of randomness.
