So long National Geographic. You had a good run. I'll miss you.

Not since A&E became the 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' channel, have I been this dismayed.

I think the Discovery channel downfall will always stand out the most for me. Since it was the channel I watched the most of in my teenage years when the family got cable.

I'd say the History Channel but it's death was so long in the making I had plenty of time to get used to it.

Animal Planet went straight to hell with a Dragon documentary or some such shit.

I was not expecting this from National Geographic. Late night television shows on the taboo sexual practices of different cultures? Sure, (that shit was awesome actually) this? This is awful.

Why can't we have nice things?

I just watch PBS. It's gotten to the point where the people begging for money actually come right out and say essentially 'where else are you going to find intelligent TV?' They have a point.

My favorite part is the dude with the job of saving us from aliens having the dumbest ideas to save us from aliens.

Should we make a list of ways they could wipe us out without setting foot on earth, without risking a single soldier or even a piece of equipment? I'll start:

- space mirror (hyperbolic, of course) to fry any place they want
- tiny rocket mounted to a meteor to perturb its orbit
- big enough ship/meteor between the sun and the earth to cast a shadow, instant ice age, starvation and so on -- you would just park it in L1 and not even use any fuel
- electromagnetic tomfoolery to make holes in the earth's magnetic field, allowing solar wind to reach the earth's surface
- and let's not forget: DEADLY SPACE BACTERIA!!

Note: nuking from orbit is not one of these ways, as they would be risking the loss of a bomb in that case. I said no risk to equipment.

Ever since Independence Day, I've approached alien invasion movies as if the aliens are a family trying to homestead in the wilderness, and humans are the venomous insects that come pouring out of the ground to attack them.

That gives movies a nice Starship Troopers-like subtext, where we're the dreaded Atomic Pollution Apes from the planet Dirt.

Speaking of which, did you ever see Rob Ager's Starship Troopers analysis? I won't spoil anything in case you haven't.

Larry King will say any goddamned thing you ask him to say on camera. I'm surprised that Jay Leno isn't in there saying "So did you hear about this alien invasion? Apparently, (awkward setup) (Anthony Weiner punchline)."
