Everyone out there who feels like they wasted at least $25 on the "Star Wars" prequel-trilogy -- that onanistic amalgam between CGI and C-Span -- please raise your hands.

Everyone who wants to remember what really good science fiction storytelling is supposed to be, particularly those of you with your hands up: Go see Serenity. Now. And if you still don't like it, well, I'm sorry to say, there's just no hope for you.

I don't want to remember what really good science fiction storytelling is supposed to be; I'd rather watch C-SPAN coverage of the Galactic Senate.

Meanwhile, I recently learned that C-SPAN stands for Cable Satellite Public Affairs Network.

As Twins knows (know?), I've long been a supporter of C-SPAN classic, which would show old campaign commercials and floor debates and Senate hearings from the past. I'm not saying that I need an entirely separate channel, but a few hours in the evenings, like how Nick used to show Nick-at-Nite reruns.

If the first part of your comment is really true, I can't figure out how we're friends.

And if the second part of your comment is really true, I still don't care.

In order to be your friend, one needs to enjoy science fiction?

One of the things I have always admired about you is your imagination. With your comment, you seem to have gone out of your way to repudiate it. It made me sad.
