Okay, so I like gaming just as much as the next person (I play O-Game, Halo, KOTOR, etc.) but enough is enough with the Second Life references on TV crime shows.

It's overdone, outplayed, and on CBS is coming off as a shameless plug for their own newly revised website that has components of Second Life in it.

Tonight, is the FOURTH crime show since September that will featuer an alternate-reality gaming scenario on Numbers. Come on people, the first one was pretentious and annoying, the FOURTH will be unwatchable. As much as I like Numbers I just can't sit through another 'look how cool and tech-savvy we are' episode.

Enough already.

So it seems my points finally caught up with my submissions and I'm a Red Shirt (Level 11). I love Star Trek allusions.

Entil2001 inspired me to list my summer TV picks:

The Riches - Fx

Monk, Psych - USA

The 4400 - SciFi

Kyle XY - ABC Family

Eureka - SciFi

Big Love - HBO

Manvs Wild - Discovery

The Loop - Fox

The Girls Next Door - E! (don't act like you don't love it, too!)

Flash Gordon - SciFi

Summer TV is different than throughout the year, but I feel like some of the smaller networks have an opportunity to shine -- check out all the shows on SciFi - I love it!!
