I was watching Star Wars the other day and, you know, the Sith got a raw deal. Basically, you have a bunch of force users who don’t want to be subjugated by the Jedi, so they sit out there on there own, just trying to get their piece of the Republic dream. You know, land, house, family. The Jedi are like “I don’t think so” and start this mad war with them, finally driving them out of existence. Or so they thought.
From master to apprentice, they pass along the information they learned. So, the Emperor decides to plot his own scheme for revenge. And who could blame him? So, he goes about ridding the galaxy of these meddlesome people, who think they are oh so special. Then, the last two Jedi use the son of one of the Sith Lords to go out and destroy them. Not only that, but wants him to once again start a new Jedi order, to prop us there own failed dreams and using the Sith as scapegoats for all the ills of the galaxy. It makes me sick.
Speaking of things that make me sick, I’m looking at you Matt Damon. He basically called everyone apathetic because we don’t care enough about the poor people of Haiti. There is a difference between apathetic and self-involved you ass clown! Now, I’m not talking about self-involved like “does my hair look okay”, I’m talking self-involved like “gee, I hope I don’t get laid off today.”
I’ll make a deal with you, you self-absorbed waste of space, I’ll start caring about the poor people of Haiti on two conditions. One, the economy turns around and I only have to worry about losing my job due to gross incompetence. Two, you apologize for Ben Affleck, those horrible Jason Bourne movies, dissing James Bond, and campaigning for Obama (celebrities should keep their gobs shut about politics). Until that happens, keep your opinions about my apathy to yourself, you no talent douche bag.
Speaking of no talent douche bags, I was watching latest Supernatural the other day and it was entitled “Criss Angel is a Douche Bag”. While I’m not about to defend Criss Angel on his douche bagginess, the episode guest starred Barry Bostwick. Barry is in my top 5 favorite current guest stars. Who are the other 4? Number 1 is definitely Michelle Forbes. Seamus and I think she is making an attempt to guest star in every show on TV today. I’ll believe it if I see her doing a guest shot on Hannah Montana. Her defining role is obviously Admiral Cain in Battlestar Galactica. You left us too soon Admiral.
Numbers 2 through 4 in no particular order are Gary Cole, John Heard, and Peter Wingfield. Cole would be a permanent holder of number 2 if he kept the cheesy mustache he was sporting in the episode of Chuck he showed up in. Too bad he couldn’t save the last season of Entourage.
John Heard was classic as Commander Garner in Battlestar Galactica, as the commander of the Pegasus. He was so incompetent, it was great. But he did the smart thing by making Lee commander and took the pipe while fixing the ship. It also pretty much cemented the fact that the Commander of the Pegasus job was more cursed than the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching job at Hogwarts.
As for Peter Wingfield, well, my basic thought is that it isn’t a sci-fi show until Wingfield shows up. He’s been in everything, and most of the time it’s as some evil douche. I was actually shocked when he turned out to be a good guy in the season finale of Sanctuary. I kept waiting for him to turn on the gang. I was sitting there saying “this guy is shifty, watch him”, like the characters on TV could actually hear me.
If you want all time best guest stars list, it goes to the aforementioned Michelle Forbes, the late, great Don S. Davis, and Dirk Benedict. A bonus for viewers is when Benedict is playing a gigolo or sleaze merchant. He’s just perfect in that role. Well, that or killing Cylons in the original Battlestar Galactica.
