Jack’s back! WooHoo! Evo, too.
Mike, Evo, Summer, Kris the Cheesecake Lady, Jack Mangan, Debbie from East Mesa, and Sheila.
- And now for the voicemails:
- Karen from Kalifornia wants Mike to get on the stick for six seconds.
- John from Fullerton lets us know how much ideas are worth in Hollywood.
- H.R. Tucker - The Computer King - loves The Core.
- Tim from the Babylon Podcast talks about loving his job.
- Tim again. He disagrees with Lorrie about fiction vs. bad science.
- Co-workers as family members.
- Could a man find Clit Ave? Could he even pronounce it?
- A Heroes haiku and speculation.
- Scott from Tucson moves from job to job he doesn’t like.
- Scott from Tucson has a few comments.
- Big and Tasty talks more about co-workers as family members. I was thinking about that name. Don’t you think it sounds a bit optomistic to you? Like a more accurate name would be “Medium and Salty.”
- Philip from Australia calls!
- Big and Tasty lies about his name some more. And has a myspace page. Yeah, like I’m gonna link to that.
- Enormous from Australia disagrees with Charlie on Heroes vs. Lost.
- Donut from Tucson on energy drinks.

Yes! I agree with Mike and it’s been something I’ve been saying for years. Science Fiction writers for TV & movies could devote a little more effort to getting the science right without ruining the entertainment value of the show, especially in shows that try to be realistic.
I know that it is entertainment, and, yes, I suspend my disbelief, but when “realistic” things are obviously wrong, then it detracts from my enjoyment of the show. I think Armageddon is a hoot, but it has horrible science.
Scientific mistakes have been the reason I’m a bit annoyed with Eureka. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy the show. In my opinion, obvious fantastic elements such as the artifact and the death ray should get a free pass. But when I see a bottle of 98% Sulphuric Acid, I cringe. It’s a show about scientists and science. It’s almost inexcusable to get such a simple thing wrong. For people that haven’t had chemistry, or have forgotten, acid strength is measured in molarity.
That’s it for my ranting.
