And that reason is because it has it all wrong! I experiment in time travel just once, tell someone i'm a time traveler for kicks, and then he makes a television series out of it! Painting me out to be some sort of body possessor who does things like help people who are in rodeos? Rodeos?! It's a travesty to my good name! Why would i help anyone who is a female rodeo clown?!

I don't know how you managed to put that show back on the air television, but enough is enough. This is war!


you! You cancelled quantum leap! You forced scott bakula's career to plummet! Star trek enterprise is your fault!

I will destroy you and all you have ever loved!


All hail television! Death to aeon!

Doctor Aeon should join forces with Televisions greatest adversary:

THE INTERWEBZ! The enemy of my enemy, Doc...

Aeon will fall before The Television's might!

The Television has hordes of zombies, rabid fanboys, and the Mythbusters!

And we all know that Aeon lost the Dance Gun years ago, his only superweapon that worked well.

In this episode, the scientist has taken the place of a female rodeo clown who is in love with a bull rider. The scientist's job is to make the bull rider fall in love with him since the bull rider would have had no interest in the rodeo clown herself.

'But I don't know the first thing about being a clown!' he tells his holographic friend while putting on a pair of huge suspenders.

'It'll be a piece of cake,' councils the hologram. 'We spent a year together on the Montana Rodeo circuit right after I was released from the POW camp and before you got your 12th doctorate. It'll all come right back.'

'I don't remember that. Oh Boy!' says the scientist as he is pushed into the arena.

'Don't worry! You're just like forum posters. Sure, they say hurtful things about not hating books and the radio. They're just confused. They need to spend more time with a good friend. A friend who knows them better than they do. A friend like the television. Don't you agree, forum posters? You should watch more television. And play red side.'

You people are all being DUPED! This can't be the real TV. I know him well and he only speaks in large walls of text that are hard to read. This post is way to comprehensible and easy to read. Who are you really?!



I kid. Welcome TV and all the other newcomers/promotees.

Yeah I did forget that one, sorry. It was not on purpose, because if you know your Firefly, you can see where my global name comes from.

I love the devs in this game. I have played so many, and browsed so many game forums, and above and beyond the ones here are the ones I like the most.

You are all wonderful. Even when I'm irritated (or worse) at changes (or lack of changes), the 'personality' of the people behind this game is what keeps me looking forward to the future. The community your interactions foster here is fantastic, and yes, I do believe your interactions are a large part of why it's fantastic.

Television, I changed allegiance to Computer long ago. I have a wall of books that you will get over my dead body. However...

You tune in to a show about nine wild-west renegades living aboard a space ship at the edge of a frontier solar system. In this episode, the taciturn captain confronts the most mercenary of his crew about having tried to steal one of the bulls they had been hired to ship between planets. The crew member, a tough guy ironically named Jill, is the show's comic relief and consistently pushes the limits of believable stupidity.

'C'mon, wasn't but one little bull out a' the whole herd. Nobody'd a' noticed!" sputters Jill.

'I noticed, Jill. And what do you conjure you would a' done with one little bull out here in the middle of space anyway?'

'Well let's see... awful lonely out here and Bessie's a mighty fine conversationalist. What d'ya think? Coulda' sold it--buyer already lined up.'

'Go to your cabin, Jill. We'll talk on this later.'

Once Jill leaves the room, the captain opens a door to expose two eavesdroppers: the ship's pompous, over-educated doctor and his crazy little sister. 'I expect you two heard all that?'

The crazy sister ponders: 'Bessie is a girl's name, too...', but the Doctor interrupts: 'You're going to let that venal imbecile stay on the ship? That man is dangerous!'

The captain responds. 'Jill? Well, venal part ain't none of my business, but I wouldn't worry about him being dangerous to you. He's like Dr. Aeon, and not just because of that thing with the bull. Sure, Dr. Aeon talks tough about shutting down television, but five seasons is a healthy long life on prime-time for a show about a time traveling scientist. You're making the same mistake about Jill that forum posters make about the computer. Neither one is dangerous in its place. Computers aren't a problem as long as you watch television while you use them. You can even watch television on the computer.’

The captain turns toward you. ‘The Television appreciates your concern and support Forum Posters, but don't avoid the computer on account of the Television. We're all friends on the same side. The red side. Everyone but Aeon. I hear he's been spending all his time in blue side AEs these days. Is that what friends do? Will you play CoV and watch Television, Forum Posters?’

Heh. 'Jill'.

Hey Television, I just wanted to thank you for having all those awful-yet-highly-entertaining movies on the SyFy channel these past few weeks. Given the choice between thinking for myself and staring into the warm glow of the Television, you know I'll pick you every time.

Er, you don't have any problems with me plugging my Xbox 360 in from time to time, do you?
