WHAT IS GOOD ON THE TUBE? (PART TWO)

So, you remember that I have promised you the second part of this article. Well, GreenTea never forget about this one. Here is the part two of some great shows arriving on our tube box now. The first part I have covered Blood Ties, Cupid, Burn Notice and The Mentalist. For part two, let's look at another three more, shall we?


SUPERNATURAL Season 3 (Wiki)
Been skeptical about the quality of this brothers hunting down the supernaturalism and witchcraft of terror? Fear not, they are damn good.

Currently, it is shown on TV3, every Sunday 10PM. The brothers just can't get you hooked up right?

"Supernatural tells the story of Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchester (Jared Padalecki) two brothers who fight creatures that most people don't believe exist. The brothers lost their mother as children in a fire with supernatural elements. As a result, their father devoted his life to finding out what killed his wife, and seeking revenge. He brought his sons on the road with him, training them to fight evil. Sam left this life as a hunter in order to attend college at Stanford University, while Dean stayed with their father and helped with demon hunting. When their father suddenly disappears, Dean seeks Sam's assistance in finding him, and the brothers travel around the country in a black 1967 Chevrolet Impala investigating paranormal events and other unexplained occurrences, many of them based on folklore, myths, and American urban legends, and others based on classic tales of supernatural creatures, such as vampires, werewolves, and ghosts."


LEVERAGE (Wiki)
Keen for a revenge? Now you have one team put together by a former insurance investigator. Putting in your tactical suit and draw your genius plan now, then take it to the Robin Hood style.

Currently, it is shown on AXN, every Monday 9PM. They are now back for season 2 in US so be rejoice.

"Leverage follows a five-person team of thieves, computer experts and con artists, headed up by former insurance investigator Nate Ford, who use their skills to right corporate and governmental injustices inflicted on common citizens. The team was formed in Chicago before moving to Los Angeles headquarters in Season One. Although disbanded at the end of the season, the team members gathered. then reformed in Boston after persuading Ford to lead them again, and have set up a new base in Ford's loft apartment."


FRINGE (Wiki)
The pseudo-science or fringe science – a concept of science that works on paper but not quite on reality now explores its way to the tube in style. Scientific facts has never been so tempting as it is since X-Files.

Currently waiting for a release in NTV7. Fringe and The Mentalist were both a few of those most watched TV series in US television when a fact to ponder was that both shows were shown at the same time.

"Fringe follows the exploits of FBI special agent Olivia Dunham, mad scientist Walter Bishop, and his son “jack of all trades” Peter Bishop as they investigate aspects of fringe science (rare diseases, cryptids, transhumans with psychic abilities, teleportation, and so forth). All over the world, a series of apparent experiments collectively referred to as "the Pattern" (e.g., a newborn baby who rapidly ages and dies within a few hours, a bus full of passengers trapped in a strange substance like mosquitoes in amber) are occurring for reasons unknown. Olivia, Peter, and Walter are in charge of investigating these strange events to determine their source. Connected to the Pattern is Massive Dynamic, a leading global research company that holds the patents for a number of new and important technologies. Their enemy is ZFT, a bioterrorist organization which is orchestrating all of the strange occurrences in order to prepare for a destructive technological singularity."

Two - Zero - Zero - Eight

I woke up this morning with so much things in my head. I had a handful of vivid dreams that I don't seems to remember. Human's sleeping pattern is unique. We have a cycle of sleep that roughly last for an hour and a half which consists of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage and non-REM. The REM ends with a bang, a roughly 5-10 minutes of our dream which may or may not be remembered, which is triggered by a brain structure called pons.

Nope, in this post, we are not talking about sleeps and dreams. Just that I want to enlight you that one of the dreams that I have was very much related to what had happen this year. That was the day when I became The Joker. Yes, in 2008, I become The Joker. Anyway, how's your been? Two-zero-zero-eight is another year that will be flying away in the next hours. So, lets recap my 2008 in my very own rendition.

FRINGE Glyphs

Following the ever increasing popular series Fringe, hereby I would love to introduce to you a new word known as "Glyphys" in which I bet many had bever even heard it before. 

Glyph is an element of writing, often found via archeaology excavation which may turn out to be some sort of carved or inscribed symbols. A glyph can be a pictogram or ideogram, a syllable or even a logogram. 
For example, look at this Mayan glyph taken in one of those Mayan civilization excavation site which may means something.

Well interestingly, these glyphs are excerpts of the symbols used and available in the series Fringe. Let's look at those:

Apple glyph with human embyos instead of seeds...Imagine the life!!

Butterfly glyph...notice that the wings are formed from some bony structures!!

Flower glyph of some petals of daisy...notice the dragonfly wings resembled by the petals!!

Frog glyph with the symbol for Phi on the back!! Phi

Hand glyph with six fingers!!

Horn glyph with  Fibonacci spiral and again Phi on it!!

Leaf glyph with the triangle symbol on it that represents Delta!!

Seahorse glyph again with the Fibonacci spiral!!

Smoke glyph that forms a woman's face....

Note: Phi is a Greek letter that used to represent the number 1.6180339887...., a key number in the Golden Ratio. This number represents the perfect balance of proportion in human and nature...for example the ratio between your bones in the fingers... It was also mentioned in Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code.
