Not to offend anyone who likes it or anything, but I personally have tried watching CSI once or twice, and found it slightly less appealing than 8-week old cabbage allowed to sit under a layer of used sweat socks that have been in a cool, damp environment for a similar length of time. But that's just me. Still, I may have to watch the one airing tonight: it's all about a murder of the star of a beloved science fiction shows called Astro Quest (hmmm) at a scifi con. It looks like it'll be kitchy and silly, and I hear it was written by some Battlestar folks. Make of that what you will. Funny, too: looking at that clip, I can tell you that the scenes at the con don't ring true. I've been to a zillion cons, and the costumes simply never look like that. Of course, it's not the show's purpose to portray stuff like that accurately, but that's not my point. It's just funny, I could tell you right away that's a staged scene and not from a real con. Those costumes and makeup look like what a Hollywood makeup artist would think a con would look like, not what it actually does look like! I'm not sure exactly what it is, but if you scan through my own shots from Dragon*Con and Comic Con you'll see a lot more variety, care, and even love in the costumes. Well, it hardly matters anyway since I'm in Canada giving a talk when the show airs, so I'll probably miss it. But feel free to comment below about the show if you saw it!
