Out of the Blue

While TiVo's suggestions can often be related to other things that I have chosen to record, I have also grown used to it picking suggested shows for me that no one in his right mind would watch... my cynical side figures this is just payola that keeps the wheels of the whole system greased. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why my TiVo has suddenly decided I speak Spanish, because in spite of never recording, nor even watching, programming in a language I do not understand (I took French in school, and I can't even understand that), it suddenly seems quite fond of recording all manner of Latino programming for me.

Oh well, there are all sorts of stories about people learning a new language from TV (Splash, for instance), so maybe I should just watch them all for the educational experience.

What really makes me laugh with Shatner is his own ignorance regarding how his cast mates truly feel about him. He gets that 'who me?' look on his face.
Okay, do I want to admit to this? Oh all right, what the hell ...

I rented this:
http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?trkid=73&movieid=70001615

And it was actually pretty darn good, and I'm not even a big Trekkie. But Shatner and Nimoy devoted a bit of time to the whole cast member thing (verdict: "I just don't get it"). Shatner was relating a story about how he was interviewing Uhuru once, and it was a very pleasant conversation. Finally, he closed his notes and started to thank her for the interview and she immediately said "Wait, don't you want to know why we all hate you?" And then she proceeded to tell him.
