Did anyone actually read that carefully? Or at all?

So I'm moderately excited about the Hawaii Five-O remake. My dad loved the original (presumably because the Hawaii setting meant lots of girls in bikinis) and I vaguely remember watching it as a little kid and liking it (probably not because of the girls in bikinis). And I like Alex O'Loughlin. And Daniel Dae Kim (mostly from Angel as I didn't like his Lost character).

Then I read this TV Guide article, and it featured as one of the highlighted accompanying quotes from Alex O'Loughlin in big font:

I felt Jack [Lord] blowing on my neck and wiggling my gun out of its holster.

While I think he meant that he was inspired by the spirit of the previous actor who played the role or some nonsense like that, what it looks like to me is the beginning of some poorly written RPS. (With supernatural elements--Jack Lord being dead and all)

I like the new version of Nikita. I think Maggie Q is awesome and I like her protege too, even if she is one of Ted's future kids from How I Met Your Mother.

It's about time for me to upgrade the computer I'm using as my DVR. The hardware is getting pretty old and the CPU fan is loud and it's a 90W processor. The CPU I'd be replacing it with is 65W, which would be nice as that computer is on all the time. There's also the option of 45W CPUs, but they're more expensive and tough to find.
