64: stimuli for January 28, 2009


What says "leadership" more than a beleaguered, pill-popping space admiral? Well, actually...

TV: "Battlestar Galactica": I knew going into this last batch of episodes that things would get bad for the remnants of humanity, but good Lord, this is pretty bleak. The big reveals in the first half of the first new episode would be shocking enough, but there's a boatload more after that really sends things into a tailspin. Plus, it seems a rebellion is a-coming. Not the happiest show on TV, but boy its good.


"Lost": Everyone's favorite time-shifting island is back! And early word tells me this Wednesday's episode will be incredible! Exclamation points galore!!!!!!


DVD: "Chris Rock: Kill The Messenger": A solid comedy special with some still timely stuff. "We invade a country with lots of oil and gas prices still go up? If I raided KFC, chicken wings will be cheap at my house!"


MUSIC: U2, "Get on Your Boots": The first single from their new album and, I'm really digging this one. A lo-fi tune that sounds like a distant cousin from their pre-Joshua Tree days.
