  • So how far are you all in your Christmas shopping? Me, I'm half way
    there. I know what to buy the rest that I'm still missing, I just need
    to go get them.

    While I'm on the subject of Christmas, there is a negative thing that
    comes with the season. Bad tv episodes.  This is the time when a
    lot of shows dedicate a "very special Christmas" episode that is
    usually contrived, sappy, and simply idiotic in many cases.  I
    just recently watched a Smallville "Lex-mas" and it was bad bad bad bad
    bad. Horrible writing all around. TV writers, listen up. You don't have
    to write an overly Christmas story when it comes to your shows. 
    Just write a good episode that happens to fall on the holiday. Don't
    let the season dictate how the story goes. That rule simple enough?
