I picked up the New Yorker Magazine yesterday while I was at the New Yorker Festival. I read an interesting Malcolm Gladwell article “Small Change: Why the revolution will not be twitted.” He was challenging the idea the social media can actually influence real meaningful change in the status quo since real activism is high-risk and depends on real personal connections between participants and on hierarchies, both of which social media like Twitter or Facebook lack. He doesn’t deny that social media can be good for some things like networking and information gathering and new ideas but he points out that it is not how real meaningful change (like the Civil Right Movement type of activism) works.
House S7E3 I really like how House and Cuddy tell each other the difference between ‘boyfriend/girlfriend’ reactions to ‘boss/employee” reactions. I think it really fits their relationship. I liked Sam for the first time in this episode. What are they doing to Chase? Why turn him into a womanizer? House is cute as a fanboy. I do like him in glasses trying to reconstruct the manuscript. It’s not lupus – you think the team would remember this. This episode felt very old school.
Highlander S6E5 When it takes 13 minutes for the main character to just appear in the episode something is wrong with the episode. The main character should not really be in a supporting role, which is what happened in this episode. I can see the problem with season six here. There were amusing bits like the flashback (Duncan is such a slut) but otherwise it was an ordinary plot and while Kyra was likable there are times when she wasn’t acting right. And there was already an amnesia episode and much better one at that in Season 4. You know, bad guys, if you are stalking a place hoping for a person to show up, playing very loud music while waiting by your car might not be the best idea. Season Six seems to employ watchers from “Angel.”
