Quote of the Day

I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done for me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (I’m not a big one for paying compliments…), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter.” ~ Jonathan Carroll

One of the reasons you should be watching SyFy’s Krypton. (Another being a bearded Cameron Cuffe.)

Yes, I’m shallow.

Okay, Krypton isn’t horrible. I personally wouldn’t call it great TV either, but it’s entertaining. (Rotten Tomatoes, however, has a decidedly different take, recently opining, “Krypton has evolved past a Superman prequel series into one of the best science fiction shows on TV.”) Uh. Okay…

It’s got a good-looking cast, and it’s obvious SyFy spared no expense in set design, effects, or costuming. And it does provide backstory to the entire Superman mythos, well beyond what we got from any of the movies.

Season Two got off to a very slow start IMHO, and I all but gave up on it, letting the episodes pile up on the DVR. But one night I was bored and started watching again and I have to confess it’s gotten uniformly better. I still don’t agree with Rotten Tomatoes, but it’s worth a watch—if only for the pretty menz.

Quote of the Day

There are millions of people who share his anger, his paranoia, and his hatred. That’s what bothers me. It really sounds like the dumbing down of America. Some of the people I talk to have a fuzzy line between the Constitution and the Bible. I think we have to stop this man who wants to be The Dictator. It bothers me that people can’t read him…it’s such a bare exposure of greed and the lust for power.” ~ Dick Van Dyke
