Last night, one of the HBO stations was running a Back to the Future marathon...
OK, so in BttF 2, Marty buys Gray's Sports Almanac in 2015, with the idea of making some money when he goes back to 1985. Doc loses it, and forbids Marty from taking it back. Old man Biff then steals the DeLorean, goes back to his younger self in 1955 and gives him the almanac. This creates a new reality so, when Doc and Marty go back to 1985, it's a cesspool. This is explained in the move as the result of Biff getting rich off the almanac and pretty much buying the town. Fine...
But, a question came to me last night in my sleep-deprived haziness: How was old Biff able to get back to the same 2015 Doc and Marty were in, when he had already changed the timeline by giving young Biff the almanac? He should have gone back to the 2015 off the rich Biff timeline, right? Clearly, it has to be so the DeLorean can get back to Doc and Marty in 2015, so they can go "back home" and see how screwed up it is. I believe that's called lazy writing...
I can't believe I've watched this movie so many times, and have only now thought of this...Comment

Just finished Breaking Bad. I don't think I need to say anything about how much I enjoyed the show. Out of all the shows that I've seen that is running right now, I would say Breaking Bad is tied for 2nd, behind Mad Men and level with Homeland.
Now I'm trying to finish Lost, which I started waaaaaaaay back when but didn't have the time to get into it. Sitting a little ways in the 2nd season now and honestly, I can't really get into it that much. I think I've been spoiled by the fantastic dialogue from the likes of Mad Men. A lot of the lines in Lost just sound really cheesy which turns me off from the show a little bit. I'll try and stick through it but I'm not sure if I'll be able to watch all 6 seasons.
Also just watched the pilot of The Sopranos. I've always wanted to watch it and I've been in the mood for a mob story lately. I could definitely see this series taking up a ton of my time in the coming weeks.Comment

I've been watching Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone a lot lately. Can't believe I'm just getting around to this classic show, already one of my favorites.Comment
