Star Wars and some thoughts about TV

I watched the trailer for episode three today. It looks good. Of course, the trailers always look good. The movies, on the other hand, always disappoint.

A few random thoughts...

Yellow eyes? Come on, Lucas, you can do better than that. Um. Wait. No, you probably can't.

Lava planet! Yay! I am glad lava plays a part in the movie. Hopefully, lava will tie into Anakin's transformation to Vader. Because it should. Everyone knows that.

I miss Alec Guiness.

Is Yoda's lightsaber as long as a regular lightsaber or shorter because he's short? Quit giggling.

Onto TV thoughts.

Hey, remember that show Survivor? Sarge is going home tomorrow. At least, that's my very uninformed guess. The women have the numbers, Chad is missing a leg, and Chris is more of a physical threat than Sarge. It's their own damn fault for trusting Julie and Twila. I mean, really. What were they thinking?

Still hooked on Lost. I do have one question, though. Why is it that every one of these people has some dramatic story in their past? Jack's father drank himself to death, Kate's on the run from the law, Sawyer's father killed his mother, Locke was a paraplegic, and on and on. Shouldn't at least one of them just be an accountant with a boring life?

Also still liking Jack and Bobby. The show is in danger of cancellation and was recently moved to Wednesdays to keep it away from the ratings winner Desperate Housewives. You should check it out. It's interesting to watch the development of a president from his youthful days and see how those moments played a part in the decisions he made as president. You watch this boy learning the lessons he will need to know in order to suceed as President. It's a very well put together series. The future interview segments are perfectly woven into the main story that's happening in the present.

And they mentioned Iowa City in tonight's episode! That's always nice.

Oh, and did you know the Amazing Race starts in less than a week?
