Has anybody else seen this show, and if so, what are your thoughts?
Honestly I have only watched a couple episodes, only just realizing this show existed and I have to admit I really take quite a lot of interest in it. The questions it asks and the array of possible answers is really something to enjoy of anyone wanting some time to think outside the box.
And having Morgan Freeman as a narrator doesn't hurt it one bit science.discovery.com/tv/through-the-wormhole/Hosted by Morgan Freeman, Through the Wormhole explores the deepest mysteries of existence — the questions that have puzzled mankind for eternity. What are we made of? What was there before the beginning? Are we really alone? These questions have been pondered by the most brilliant minds in history. Now, modern science may be able to provide us with answers.

Started A World of Difference by Harry Turtledove, and in back up, i picked up Lamb by Christopher Moore. Big fan of Turtledove. You need to read his WorldWar series though. There's like a dozen books in the series. Basically, it's the middle of WWII. Everyone is blowing each other up. Then these aliens arrive with a plan to conquer the world. Thing is these aliens had sent a probe to earth 500 years earlier. In their society, nothing ever changes. The aliens have technology comparable to what we have today. They've got jet fighters, machine guns, a-bombs, tanks, armored cars, etc.......... They expected to be fighting knights on horseback. People changing so much in 500 years is not expected at all for them as their society just does not work that way. There's a whole series of books dealing with WWII, then there is a series dealing with the colonization fleet arriving. (The first fleet was just a conquest fleet.) It's very good stuff. Anyway, I just finished the Poisoner's Handbook. I'm debating on whether I want to read In the 'Plex (book about Google), Area 51: an uncensored history, iWoz or The Devil in the White City. I might look into his WWII series then, I enjoyed the majority of his into the darkness series and I have read a few of his time travel novels. I was curious about his others stuff, and I might pick it up here soon.

ok update: her mom just called, and my parents arent home yet, should i block that number from calling? Just would be asking for more trouble and a chance of never getting to see the girl again....really, the worst that can happen is you get grounded and if thats the worst, then in the grand scheme of life, it wont kill you.

Can I inquire as to why everyone was so sure that this had to be a fake?

Just change the convo....tell her you need the birds and the bees talk again because your not sure you did it right.....
Seriously though, just be honest. If your 17 and this is the worst thing you have done then I think you have that to lean on but if you two like each other enough to sneak out maybe your best bet is to have your mom and you and her parents and her, sit down and discuss ways you two can see each other without you two using extremes such as sneaking out...but like everyone said, you could be doing worse things.

So...they didn't embalm her or anything? Strange. Customs are based on countries and cultural backgrounds...not everyone views death or the funeral, of sorts, the same.

poop like that. Makes me hate Religon and people who believe it. That's ing horrible, it's his funeral. Leave the man alone. Why is it so frequent that everyone BLAMES RELIGION, instead of BLAMING IGNORANT PEOPLE, for being ignorant. I do not blame Islam for Terrorism and I do not blame atheists because of certain judgmental ideals that some come to against religion...which is always amusing in consideration to the idea, the whole point of most of their grievance was religion being so judging of people. Stop blaming the context of the mans words and blame the man himself....

I deal with people like that all the time at work. Yes, I know you went to law school for 8 years, and are a successful lawyer, have a doctorial degree, and served as a judge, and are now a managing parter of a mega law firm. However, all of that apparently didn't make you smart enough to click the save button on a 5,000 page document now did it? SO are we really as smart as you are telling me you are? That was great, i laughed so hard...thank you ;D

Any thoughts? Anybody going to give it a try?
I honestly am, I always enjoyed the video games and it has Brian J Smith from Stargate Universe and I really liked him it that so I figured I might give it a go. Anyone else?

I really enjoyed the show, maybe mostly due to the campy feel to it. Honestly I hate tv, but when I do there are plenty of shows I can watch that give me a realistic look on things. But I think its good that they still make shows like this that you can sit and enjoy without all the extra drama. I like it so far and it looks like I am going to continue to watch it for however long it may last.
