Post hoc, ergo propter hoc

You know, I go to the Blogger page and hit the New Post button almost everyday, all geared up to write something. And then I see this, and all of a sudden I don't want to write anymore. Bit odd I know, but I'm sure something similar's happened to most people.

That aside, tonight I write.

I just got done watching a couple of episodes of The West Wing. Usually I don't get all worked up about a show, or an episode. But so far, after every episode (and I'm ten episodes into the first season), I end up thinking 'wow, now that was awesome'. The characters on this show are more real and believable than most other shows I've watched (and I've watched a fair amount).

There's just something about this show that's unique from everything else I've seen. In fact, it may seem odd, but I can't help but draw comparisons between West Wing and Star Trek DS9. Not directly of course (Twenty fourth century space exploration and warfare versus contemporary American politics anyone?), but I can't help but feel the same sense of attachment to characters on this show as I did with DS9, and the storyline draws me in just as much too.

It's kind of like what Stargate SG-1 almost was, or Buffy wasn't (I already know there are people who want to have me shot now). Speaking of Buffy, I now feel like calling it the most overrated show ever. I'll have to save the details on that one for another day though, it's almost 5 am and I have a class at 10. So, yeah, I think I'll get some sleep.

Now Playing: Nothing

PS. This post's topic translated, 'After it, therefore because of it.' Think about it, but don't think too much.
