Extraterrestrials, Hitchhikers, and Stargates!

I know, I know...I haven’t posted for a very long time. My life is way too busy...

Anyway, I was spending some of my free time today viewing “The Fan” on Comcast, which those of you how have Comcast should know has a bunch of little or long videos about various things. Well, I was looking at a few about the Roswell incident and aliens, one from ABC News and the other video from National Geographic. Although I already knew it, when we look up into the night sky, we are truly seeing the galaxy in its infancy. It just made me shiver, being reminded of it. I mean, we have no idea how the galaxy...the rest of the universe is at this current moment by looking up into the sky. Like the video clip said, it would be stupid to think that we are the only planet with life in a universe so vastly big that we can hardly even comprehend how large it is. I hope we find these answers in my lifetime...

Continuing on the matter, although I haven’t read all the books of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (though all I have read is great), it did have an interesting thing, where there was this device that showed you compared to the rest of the universe. And because it was so mind-boggling, it would torture you and kill you. And to be honest, I think it would drive a person crazy to learn how tiny and insignificant you are compared to the whole universe.

And on Saturday, I saw the movie The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It was okay...the beginning I believe was quite accurate, but however once it hit a certain point, it was like “whoa! Totally different story!”--Okay, so it wasn’t quite like that, for it did have some little bits here and there that were accurate, but the ending and the plot about halfway through were very different.

The new Stargate SG-1 episodes the last two Fridays were quite good. I’m looking forward to next Friday’s because I’ve known about it since the beginning of season nine. I didn’t expect last Friday’s to be good, but it was, despite the sad losses in it and the lost of the Prometheus.
