Several weeks ago, a whole bunch of (cool) buildings in Toronto opened up their doors to the public. Normally, these buildings are only accessible by people that, um, actually work there. Like the Don Jail and the TD Building. I just love these events because it brings you a bit closer to your own city, and finally figure out why that building is built in a particular way or what kind of history it holds.
*spoiler alert!*
Within a span of one week, I saw Star Trek and the 2-hour season finale of Lost. That’s a lotta mystery and sci-fi.
Star Trek was amazing, period. A great (and ridiculously good-looking) cast and solid script (to a non-Trekkie) that mixes drama, humour, and action. And red matter? I remember that from Alias. Two more movies have already been green-lighted, I really can’t wait.
Lost was a bit shocking. Deaths (?), and pseudo characters running around. And more things sucking up other things. The long elusive Jacob did all his work in a span of 40 minutes? And some not-so-subtle hints to religion and the Bible. I can’t believe I’ll have to wait until 2010 to find out what is seriously up with this mystery island.
So with season finales and the start of the blockbuster season, summer is officially here!
For my inaugural post, I thought I would share a particularly hilarious essay by J.J. Abrams.
I was a big fan of Alias and have been engrossed by Lost since its first episode, but that’s not the only reason why I read it. This article explains and (justifies?) why the process is more important than the result. Sometimes, scientists need to be reminded of this too, especially if your results turn out to be statistically insignificant.
