The Bionic Woman

Posted by tom | Oct 24, 2007

So after trying Heroes, I thought I'd give The Bionic Woman a chance.  As you know, the machine is nothing without the woman. But I have better ways to use my time. Why? The Department of Agriculture (i.e., the cover in one of the episodes) has more sexuality and violence in the first several episodes than is beneficial . . . now that I put it that way, I confess Alias may fall in this category).  Maybe as my girls grow older and I contemplate more on the Christ of Christmas, I've become more sensitive to shining like a star in a dark world.  Heroes has been better than Lost, in which I never found much interest. Time to place NetFlix order of the new Dr. Who in queue.  Although the episodes which I've seen don't take me back to Tom Baker (and to a lesser degree Peter Davison who was fantastic in All Creatures Great and Small), they're worth a run through.

On second thought, maybe I should focus even more time in placing a dent into my reading list.  Where has all the time gone?  Is it possible to become a Lord over one's Time?  I'd love to have a TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions In Space machine) not just to go across time and space to be blessing to many, but also to host a spectacular library with materials from across time, space, and dimensions. 

My most recent read, Metamorphosis: The Transfiguration in Byzantine Theology and Iconography by Andreas Andreopoulos was hard to put down and spurred much reflection and conversation.  Maybe I'm feeling guilty that last week when borrowing a copy of the newly released The Company They Keep: C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien as Writers in Community, I watched part of the Bionic woman after returning from David Downing's presentation on his new release A South Divided: Portraits of Dissent in the Confederacy. A delicacy, not to mention I also had David's new book before passing it along! Well now it's time to review some books for my spiritual formation class.
