With the Dallas Cowboys on their bye-week, it gave me some time to catch up on a lot of TV episodes that I have DVR’d.
Finally caught up with “My Own Worst Enemy” ep. 3 titled “Hello Henry” starring Christian Slater. Wow!… The show is an interesting concept as two different people occupy the same body. One who is a businessman (Henry Spivey) by day and the other a hard-edged trained agent/killer (Edward Albright) by night. But in this case, somehow the control to switch the two personas have gone awry as now they switch personas whenever and it’s causing problems for each persona.
In this episode, Henry goes to his friend, a doctor to conduct an x-ray to see if his brain has been implanted. And sure enough, his friend finds the chip. But sure enough, when Edward finds out that Henry went to seek a doctor, Edward kills him.   Thus setting up an awkward confrontation by the two personas. Again, these personas occupy the same body. That’s what makes this show so unique!

Another interesting show I caught was a documentary on the History Channel titled “Life After People“. An interesting scientific study of what would happen if humans were eliminated from the planet. What would happen to the buildings and the animals and so forth.
This was very interesting to watch as they show a progression from 50, 150, 500, 1000 years into the future after humans are gone from the planet. They show how major cities that are not renovated or kept maintained will simply be destroyed by the elements and how literally cities such as New York, Seattle, Paris would return to its original state of vegetation and streams.
Also, an interesting point made is how history is backed up. Egyptians and ancient cultures typically used rock or a hard surface to depict their history and has held up for thousands of years. While in America, we currently look toward’s DVDs or some technology that will not be able to last for thousands of years. Also, how libraries, since their is no humans to maintain the temperature, mold will literally destroy all books.
I also found the theories of animals to be quite interesting. Cats would be the major animals (since they spawn like crazy) and would feed on the rats and birds that are all over the planet. While dogs actually revert back to their old ways as they mate with wolves and thus become wild animals in packs that feast on large animals.
Also, an interesting theory is how animals adjust to certain conditions and habitat. Would cats be a flying animal by then? Hmm…
Also, the animals of the sea would grow in population since there are no humans to pollute or capture them for food.
I then caught up with DVR’d episodes of “Ghost Hunters”. Wow! In these episodes, the group team up with several celebrities. But one of the interesting situations was during the live episode in which one of the major team member’s collar is pulled. Man, this place is creepy!
Probably catch DVR “Desperate Housewives” and watch George Cloonie’s “LEATHERHEADS” for the night.
