I'd rather sit through Stitch again than experience a minute of this AI horror. And Stitch is the devil. Bad idea, Disney. dt

^It is not going to be finalized this weekend. The meetings are an update for the membership on the current negotiations. No vote on any contract has been scheduled. It's a step towards ending the strike, but only a step. They still hope to get things resolved so they can hold the Academy Awards, since SAG will not cross any of the writer's picket lines. As for shows, don't get your hopes up. Some things might go back into production for a small number of episodes, like comedies, but most stuff won't see new episodes until the fall. There's just not that much time left in the season and networks are not going to run new shows in the summer. dt

I Mother Earth - Not Quite Sonic dt

Er, no it's not. The guild is meeting with it's members this weekend to discuss the ongoing negotiations, but there's no written contract for them to vote on yet. Hollywood suits (like Eisner) want it to be over, and it certainly looks like its moving in that direction, but not everything has been resolved yet. dt

I thought it rocked hard. I can't figure out everything that's going on, but I loved the revelation that Ben has someone on the boat that has been reporting to him. And the fact that Dharma has gone to incredible expense to make the world think that everyone died when the plane crash. I'm hoping that we're building towards some revelations about why they want to control the island so badly. Looking forward to next week... dt

Wow, the chocolate stout is out at DuClaws?!? I need to make a trip down there soon! dt

Mitsui Greenland rocks. My favorite non-Disney park of the trip (though Space World was very close). It was brutally hot that day, but the park was awesome fun. And you cannot forget the simulator ride, where Chuck proclaimed at the end, "Now I know what it would be like to watch TV in my car". So randomly entertaining. dt
