Podcast appearances and mentions of Harsh Realm

Chris Carter er bedst kendt som skaberen af 'The X-Files'. Nogle vil også kende ham for søsterserien 'Millennium'. De færreste vil nok være bekendt med hans sci-fi-krigsserie 'Harsh Realm' fra 1999. Serien fik premiere kort tid før 7. sæson af 'The X-Files'. Det var kørt i stilling som arvtageren til 'The X-Files'. Men efter blot tre afsnit blev den aflyst. Hvorfor? Og er den virkelig SÅ dårlig? Vi har set seriens 9 afsnit og diskuterer den. 0:00:00 - Intro 0:07:00 - Hvad er Harsh Realm? 0:28:12 - Hvorfor fejlede den? 0:44:32 - Hvad blev der af folkene bag? 0:49:06 - Seriens afsnit 1:23:11 - Opsummering af Serien

Then I sent to him, saying, “No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind.” For they all wanted to frighten us, thinking, “Their hands will drop from the work, and it will not be done.” But now, O God, strengthen my hands. - Nehemiah 6:8-9   This Episode's Links and Timestamps: 00:00 – Scripture Reading 04:47 – Thoughts on the Reading 24:26 - What's Wrong With Gentle Parenting? – Emily Edlynn Ph.D., Psychology Today 49:38 - ‘Gentle parenting' is no way to bring up children – and I should know – Polly Dunbar, Independent 1:07:01 - The Harsh Realm of “Gentle Parenting” – Jessica Winter, The New Yorker 1:34:18 - ‘Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up' by Abigail Shrier - Goodreads

Every parent's nightmare unfolded for Crystal when her daughter, Madison, became the target of relentless schoolyard cruelty. The heart-wrenching tale we unravel in this episode is not just Madison's, but that of a family upended by the scourge of bullying. You'll hear firsthand from Crystal, as she details the emotional turmoil and educational upheaval thrust upon her child, and the consequent battle for Madison's right to learn in a safe environment. As we dissect the shocking inaction of a school system that previously overlooked the bully's fake bomb threat, we expose a flawed system in dire need of reform.The conversation takes a turn through the perilous landscape of school safety and the stark reality of educational neglect. Crystal's struggle underscores a broader, disconcerting trend as we explore the bureaucratic barriers barring Maddie from alternative education options. Her aspirations in forensic science hang in the balance, a somber reminder of how one student's malevolence can ripple out, affecting academic pursuits and a sense of security within the school community. This chat is not just a call to awareness but a plea for change in how educational institutions respond to threats and protect their students.Navigating parenting in the digital era proves complex, with challenges magnified under the shadow of trauma. As we engage with this topic, we don't shy away from the tough questions about the influences shaping our youth and the vital role of guidance in their development. The digital realm's impact is pervasive, but this episode isn't just about laying blame—it's about understanding, preventing, and healing. For victims like Madison and their families, we emphasize the essential need for mental health support and a nurturing community, reminding us all of the collective duty we have in nurturing our children to become responsible, compassionate individuals.

This week we are investigating Bad Santas and definitely NOT projecting about our missing sister while we discuss “Sein und Zeit”! We're talking our need for Skinner to tag along on the Boo Crew's cases, whether or not the incompetent lawyer is the parents' third, the exciting (if you're Chris Carter) appearance of Harsh Realm, and wonder what stage of a relationship agreeing to do an autopsy on your future mother-in-law is. We wish for a bucket seat for the Sku Crew, get excited about Teena's (last) appearance, get really scared when Mulder asks for some time off for his mental health, and contemplate how scary Skinner would be as a substitute teacher. Also, Skinner's most questionable line: “This is your basic missionary-style FBI work.” Your what now?!Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter and Instagram!

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss how in today's world, it truly takes courage for parents to raise their kids in a way that honors the Christian faith. And an area of parenting where people tend to struggle the most is when it comes to whether it's okay to discipline our children. Culture has shifted toward the trend of “gentle parenting” - also known as “mindful” or “intentional” parenting. But is this the best way to go? Is it even biblical? Episode Links There were two articles that Dr. White found to be helpful for this conversation that we want to share with you: Jessica Winter, “The Harsh Realm of ‘Gentle Parenting,'” The New Yorker Magazine, online HERE. Fiona Macrae and Paul Sims, “The Spoilt Generation: Parents Who Fail to Exert Authority Breeding Youngsters with No Respect for Anyone,” DailyMail, online HERE. Additionally, there were several Scripture references that Dr. White provided that are helpful when trying to discern where the Bible lands when it comes to parenting. We'd encourage you to look at Proverbs 13:24 and 29:17, as well as Hebrews 12:5-11. Finally, Dr. White has delivered several parenting series at Mecklenburg Community Church that have always received incredibly positive feedback.

هذه الحلقة منتجت وسجلت بالإشتراك مع بودكاست ستيل شاوت (Steel Shout) أدب السايبربنك يعتبر من أهم الفروع التي ولدت من أدب الخيال العلمي في القرن العشرينما هو الـ(cyberpunk)  في الأدب.يمثل الـ (cyberpunk) نوعًا من أدب الخيال العلمي الذي يتميز بتمحوره حول العالم الافتراضي والتكنولوجيا المتقدمة، كما يتضمن العديد من العناصر الأخرى مثل الجريمة والفساد والتحرر والتمرد، ونوع من القصص الغامضة. يعود أصل الـ (cyberpunk)  إلى الأدب الخيال العلمي الذي ظهر في الستينات والسبعينات من القرن الماضي، ولكنه انتشر وازدهر في الثمانينات والتسعينات، وذلك بفضل العديد من الأعمال الشهيرة التي تناولت هذا الموضوع، مثل رواية "نيرومانسر" للكاتب وليام جيبسون التي صدرت في عام 1984.تعريف (cyberpunk)تأتي كلمة "سايبربانك" أو "سايبربونك" (Cyberpunk) من مزيج بين كلمتين:الأولى هي "سايبرنيتيكس" (Cybernetics) وهي تعني دراسة النظم الآلية والحيوية والتفاعل بينها.يشير مصطلح "سايبرنيتيكس" (Cybernetics) إلى دراسة النظم والآليات والتفاعلات بين الأجزاء المختلفة في الأنظمة الحيوية والآلية. ويتضمن هذا المصطلح فهم العلاقات المتبادلة بين الجزء والكل في النظام، وكيفية تغيير وتحكم الأنظمة في أنفسها.وتشمل مجالات الدراسة في السايبرنيتيكس مثل هذه النظم المختلفة كالأعصاب والغدد، والآليات المتحكمة في الصناعة والتحكم في المرور والملاحة والطيران، والتكنولوجيا الحيوية والطبية، والذكاء الاصطناعي والروبوتات.يعود أصل مصطلح "سايبرنيتيكس" (Cybernetics) إلى اللغة اليونانية، حيث تعني "kybernetes" باللغة اليونانية "الملاح" أو "القائد" أو "المدير". ولقد استخدم هذا المصطلح في اليونان القديمة للإشارة إلى الشخص الذي يدير السفينة ويتحكم في اتجاهها وحركتها. وفي القرن العشرين، أطلق عالم الرياضيات الأمريكي نوربرت وينر (Norbert Wiener) مصطلح "cybernetics" لوصف الدراسة العلمية للتحكم والتواصل في الآلات والأنظمة المعقدة. وقد استخدم وينر هذا المصطلح للإشارة إلى دراسة العمليات التي تحكم الأنظمة المعقدة، سواء كانت هذه الأنظمة آلية أو حية. ومنذ ذلك الحين، انتشر استخدام مصطلح "سايبرنيتيكس" لوصف دراسة نظم التحكم الآلية والحية، وأصبح مصطلحًا شائعًا في العديد من المجالات العلمية والتقنية المختلفة.ومن المهم أن نلاحظ أن السايبرنيتيكس لا تقتصر فقط على النظم الحيوية، بل تشمل أيضًا النظم الآلية والتكنولوجية، وهذا ما يجعلها مفهومًا مهمًا في العديد من المجالات المختلفة، بما في ذلك العلوم الحاسوبية والهندسة والفلسفة والاقتصاد والعلوم الاجتماعية.  والثانية هي "بانك" (Punk) وهي تعني نوعًا من الموسيقى الروك المتمردة والمناهضة للنظام والسلطة وبالتالي، فإن الـ(cyberpunk)  يجمع بين عنصرين رئيسيين: العالم التكنولوجي المتقدم والمتمردة والمناهضة للنظام والسلطة. ويتناول هذا النوع من الأدب عادة العالم الافتراضي والتقنية المتطورة بطريقة متمردة ومناهضة للنظام، ويتضمن الكثير من العناصر الاجتماعية والسياسية والثقافية المعاصرة.يُعرف مصطلح "بانك" (Punk) بشكل لغوي على أنه نوع من الموسيقى الروك المتمردة والمعارضة للنظام والسلطة، والتي ظهرت في السبعينيات من القرن الماضي. ويشار في قاموس أكسفورد الإنجليزي إلى أن كلمة "بانك" تعني بشكل عام شخصاً أو شيئاً يتمتع بالقوة والعنف والتمرد والانفصال عن النظام السائد. ويمكن أن يُستخدم مصطلح "بانك" لوصف أي شيء يتميز بالتمرد والمعارضة للسلطة والنظام، وليس فقط في عالم الموسيقى الروك. وعلى سبيل المثال، يمكن استخدام هذا المصطلح لوصف حركات اجتماعية وثقافية وفنية أخرى، مثل حركات الشباب المتمردة وحركات المقاومة السياسية والفنانين الذين يسعون لتحدي النظام السائد.بروس بيثكي (Bruce Bethke) هو كاتب أمريكي ولد في عام 1955، وهو معتبر أحد رواد الأدب السايبربانكي. وقد نشر بيثكي في عام 1980 قصة قصيرة بعنوان "Cyberpunk" في مجلة "Amazing Science Fiction". وقد تم استخدام هذه القصة لاحقًا كدليل لتحديد الأدب السايبربانكي. تتناول قصة بيثكي العالم الخيالي والمستقبلي والذي يتميز بتكنولوجيا متقدمة وتمحوره حول شخصية مخترق حاسوبي يقوم بسرقة بيانات مهمة. وقد اشتهرت هذه القصة بسبب استخدام كلمة "سايبربانك" في عنوانها، والتي أصبحت بعد ذلك مصطلحاً مشهوراً في الأدب والثقافة الشعبية. وقد كتب بيثكي العديد من القصص الخيالية والروايات، وأصبحت له بعض الأعمال الأخرى مثل "Headcrash" و "Wild Wild West" و "Redbeard" و "Rebel Moon"، وقد تم ترشيح روايته "Headcrash" لجائزة نيبولا في عام 1995. وبالإضافة إلى كونه كاتباً، فإن بيثكي يعمل أيضاً في مجال تكنولوجيا المعلومات والحوسبة، ويشغل حالياً منصب مدير تقنية المعلومات في إحدى الشركات الأمريكية.تصريح بروس ستيرلينغ "combination of lowlife and high tech" ليس تعريفًا محددًا للسايبربنك، وإنما هو وصف للجو العام الذي يمكن أن يتميز به عالم السايبربنك. ففي هذا الوصف، يركز ستيرلينغ على تحدُّث السايبربنك عن النزلاء الرَّخاء والمتعطشين للمتع الجسدية والأمور غير المشروعة، والتكنولوجيا العالية والحديثة التي تستخدمها هؤلاء الأشخاص في تحقيق ما يريدونه. ويتناول ستيرلينغ هذا المفهوم في روايته الشهيرة "المرآة الشعورية" (Mirrorshades)، وهي مجموعة من القصص القصيرة التي تعتبر أحد الأعمال الأساسية في أدب السايبربنك.ومع ذلك، يمكن القول أن هذا الوصف ينطبق بشكل عام على أعمال السايبربنك، حيث يتميز هذا النوع الأدبي بتحقيق التوازن بين الجوانب العالية التكنولوجية والجوانب الأكثر شعبية والمرتبطة بالعالم السفلي والجريمة المنظمة. وتنتمي روايات وليام جيبسون وبروس يرلينغ وغيرهما من الكتَّاب إلى هذا النوع الأدبي، ويتعاملون في أعمالهم مع قضايا تتعلق بالتكنولوجيا المتقدمة والحياة الافتراضية والتحديات الاجتماعية والثقافية التي تنشأ بسببها. وتجمع هذه الأعمال بين الجوانب العالية التكنولوجية والجوانب الأكثر شعبية والمرتبطة بالعالم السفلي، وتتميز بأسلوب سريع الإيقاع وشخصيات مثيرة للاهتمام، كما تستخدم لغة فيها الكثير من المصطلحات التقنية والحاسوبية.وبشكل عام، يجمع وصف بروس ستيرلينغ "combination of lowlife and high tech" بين هذه الجوانب، ويعكس الجانب الغامض والمثير للاهتمام في أدب السايبربنك، الذي يتميز بتحقيق التوازن بين العالم الافتراضي والعالم الحقيقي وبين الجوانب الفنية والتكنولوجية والجوانب الاجتماعية والثقافية.عناصر السايبربنك الأدبي:·       الجوالـ (Dystopian):o      تحكم وتملك المنظمات والشركات للمجتمع.o      طبقية الرأسماليةo      حياة وضيعة.o

عام 1968:o      نوفا هي رواية خيال علمي من تأليف الكاتب الأمريكي صموئيل ديلاني ونشرت في عام 1968. تستكشف الرواية، التي تصنف رسميًا كعمل فضائي، السياسة والثقافة في مستقبل يتسم بانتشار تقنية السايبورج بشكل شامل (والرواية واحدة من سلفيات السايبربانك)، ولكن يمكن أن تنطوي صناعة القرارات الكبرى على استخدام بطاقات التاروت. تحمل الرواية نغمات أسطورية قوية، وترتبط على حد سواء بمسألة البحث عن الكأس المقدسة وبقصة جايسون والأرجونوتيكا والسعي للحصول على الصوف الذهبي. تم ترشيح نوفا لجائزة هيوغو لأفضل رواية في عام 1969. في عام 1984، قام ديفيد برينجل بإدراجها ضمن قائمته لأفضل 100 رواية خيال علمي كتبت منذ عام 1949. ملخص القصةفي عام 3172، تنقسم السلطة السياسية في المجرة إلى فصيلين: فصيل دراكو الموجود على الأرض وفصيل الاتحاد الثريد الذي ظهر في وقت لاحق. كلاهما لديه اهتمامات في المستعمرات الخارجية الأحدث، حيث تنتج المناجم كميات قليلة من المصدر القيم إليريون، وهو مادة فائقة الثقل ضرورية للسفر الفضائي وتغيير مناخ الكواكب.يتورط قائد مهووس ومشوه من الاتحاد الثريد، لورك فون راي، في صراع بين العائلات الأرستقراطية والاقتصادية القوية، فيجند فريقًا متنوعًا من المختلفين لمساعدته في السباق مع عدوه اللدود، الأمير ريد من شركة ريد شيفت المرتبطة بفصيل دراكو، للحصول على الزعامة الاقتصادية عن طريق تأمين كمية هائلة من إليريون مباشرة من قلب نجم نوفا. وبذلك، سيحدث فون راي تحولًا في توازن القوى في النظام الكوني الحالي، مما سيؤدي إلى سقوط العائلة الحمراء ونهاية سيطرة الأرض على السياسة الفضائية بين النجوم.تتبع الرواية مغامرات فريق فون راي في محاولة الحصول على إليريون من نوفا، حيث يتعرضون للعديد من المصاعب والتحديات، بما في ذلك مواجهة العدو، والتعامل مع الأسرار الغامضة المرتبطة بنوفا نفسها، وكذلك الاستكشاف العميق لشخصيات الأعضاء المختلفين في الفريق.في نهاية المطاف، يتمكن فون راي وفريقه من الحصول على الإليريون من نوفا، ويتغلبون على الأمير ريد وشركته، مما يؤدي إلى تحويل التوازن في السياسة الفضائية بين الفصيلين. وبالتالي، ينتهي السيطرة الأرضية على السياسة الفضائية، وتبدأ مرحلة جديدة في تاريخ المجرة. ·       رواية (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep) لـ (Philip K. Dick) عام 1968:o      هي رواية خيال علمي كتبها الكاتب الأمريكي فيليب ك. ديك، وصدرت عام 1968. تدور أحداث الرواية في المستقبل البعيد بعد أن تعرضت الأرض لحرب نووية دمرت جزءا كبيرا منها وأدت إلى إنقراض الحيوانات وتحكي قصة ريك ديكارد، الذي يعمل كصائد للروبوتات المتمردة التي تشبه البشر، ويتم تكليفه بمهمة القضاء على ستة من هذه الروبوتات المتمردة. هذه الرواية تشتمل على بعض العناصر التي يمكن وصفها بالسايبرنك، مثل الروبوتات والذكاء الاصطناعي، يمكن اعتبار هذه الرواية الأم لفيلم "Blade Runner" الذي صدر في عام 1982 والذي يعتبر من أهم الأعمال في فن السايبرنك.تدور قصة الحيوانات في الرواية حول شخصية ريك ديك، الذي يعمل كصائد للحيوانات النادرة، وذلك لكسب نقاط مادية تتيح له شراء حيوان حقيقي بدلاً من حيوان اصطناعي. ويحلم ريك بامتلاك حيوان طائر "البطريق الإمبراطوري"، وهو الحيوان النادر الذي يساعده على التفرد والتميز في مجتمع موحد.تعتبر قصة الحيوانات والتركيز على الرغبة في امتلاك حيوانات حقيقية، رمزًا للحاجة إلى التميز والاهتمام بالطبيعة والحيوانات، وكذلك للعلاقة بين الإنسان والطبيعة في عالم مستقبلي متغير. وتعد هذه القصة أحد المحاور الرئيسية في الرواية التي تتناول موضوعات أخرى مثل الهوية الإنسانية الواقعية والذاتية والمجتمعية والروبوتات والذكاء الاصطناعي، والتي تركز على القضايا الأخلاقية والفلسفية المتعلقة بالحياة والوجود والتعايش في عالم متغير ومعقد.رواية (Neuromancer) للكاتب الأمريكي ويليام جيبسون عام 1984 م:تعد من أولى روايات السايبربانك. تعتبر من أهم الأعمال الأدبية في هذا النوع، حيث أنها قدمت للقراء نموذجاً جديداً للأدب العلمي والخيال العلمي، يستخدم فيه (جيبسون) تقنيات ومفاهيم حديثة كالحوسبة والشبكات والذكاء الاصطناعي والروبوتات والتجارة الإلكترونية، وجعل منها عناصر رئيسية في قالب قصته المثيرة والمشوقة. وقد فازت هذه الرواية بجائزة نيبولا لأفضل رواية علمية خيالية في عام 1984.بطلها كيس، وهو هاكر حاسوب عاطل عن العمل يتم استئجاره من قبل صاحب عمل جديد غامض يدعى أرميتاج. يتم تشكيل فريق مع مولي، السايبورغ، وبيتر ريفيرا، اللص والخادع، لتنفيذ سلسلة من الجرائم التي تمهد الطريق للهدف النهائي للمجموعة، والذي يتم تنفيذه في محطة الفضاء المدارية المسماة "فريسايد"، موطن عائلة تيسييه-أشبول الثرية. تم إنشاء اثنين من الذكاءات الاصطناعية (AIs)، وينترميوت ونيورومانسر ، التي هي قوية لدرجة أنها يمكن أن تتصل ببعضها البعض في نقطة واحدة فقط. يتعلم كيس وزملاؤه أنهم تم استئجارهم من قبل وينترميوت لكسر الفصل بين الذكاءات الاصطناعية. يتغلب كيس ومولي على التدخلات القانونية السيبرانية ومحاولة خيانة من ريفيرا لدمج وينترميوت مع نيورومانسر، وينتهي الأمر بكيس يعيش في عالم جديد شجاعأفلام:·        Escape from New York (1981)[40][41]·        Burst City (1982)[42]·        Tron (1982)[43]·        Blade Runner (1982)[44]·        Brainstorm (1983)[45]·        Videodrome (1983)[46]·        Repo Man (1984)·        The Terminator (1984)·        Brazil (1985)·        RoboCop (1987)[47]·        The Running Man (1987)·        Gunhed (1989)[48]·        Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)·        Circuitry Man (1990)[49]·        RoboCop 2 (1990)·        Hardware (a.k.a.

One of the most important life skills we can teach our children is the ability to regulate their emotions-the skill of self-regulation. How do we nurture that skill in children is through a process called co-regulation.  Mona Delahooke, a clinical psychologist, and author of Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids explains what co-regulation is, why it's important, and how to do it.  We will also dispel some of the myths around co-regulation.  Co-regulation doesn't mean perfection.

Wear is the Love, Episode #14In this episode, we provide an update on Ukraine: what's been happening these last few weeks, President Biden's Europe visit, and what we're looking at in the near future. After our recap, we discuss a fascinating 12-teen focus group the NYT conducted recently to understand how 16-17 year olds are seeing their world. If anything, the focus group and our conversation expands our thinking when it comes to this young age cohort and their experiences.

This week The TV Boys sit down to talk about Gillian Anderson. But you already know that because of the title. Why are you reading this? You should have pressed play already!

This week The TV Boys sit down to talk about the one and only Terry O'Quinn. You know him as John Locke from Lost or maybe Peter Watts in Millennium or even the stepfather in The Stepfather. Whatever you've seen him in, you know he's great, we discuss these roles and much more!

Harsh RealmFollowing the success of The X-Files and Millennium, Chris Carter's dominance as one of the 1990's premiere showrunners was assured. Throwing him a $30 million production deal to make multiple series, Carter went off and made Harsh Realm, the first series in this new deal, designed to be the 'next big thing' after The X-Files ends at the end of Season 7. History tells us, however, things didn't quite end up that way...In this slight break from Season 7 coverage, guest host Tony Black is joined by recurring guest Darren Mooney to discuss the fascinating failure that was FOX's Harsh Realm, pulled from schedules after three episodes, cancelled after just nine. They pick through the production history, show development casting, episode themes and concepts, and with some fan questions and comments discuss where the show might have gone if the series had remained on air.Host / EditorTony BlackGuestDarren MooneyExecutive ProducerTony BlackSupport The X-Cast on Patreon:www.patreon.com/thexcastSupport the We Made This podcast network on Patreon:www.patreon.com/wemadethisWith thanks to our Patrons:Adam Chamberlain, Michelle Milbauer, Tenko, Ferdinando Bianchini, Calla Dreams, Cathy Glinski, Kurt North, Jenn Ferguson, Adam Silva, Marlene Stemme, Deana Ferreri, Katie Doe, Simon Hodgson, Cortlan Waters Bartley, Martha Payne, Delta 51, Clarissa de Becker, Sarah Devicomte, Caredwen Foley, Daniela Marlitsis, Justin Bernstein, Karen McKenna, Luke Winch, Caleb Burnett, Mark O'Brien, Annie Flowers, Kathryn Shellman, Gillian Collins, Wayne Arndt, Pekka Tukiainen, Elinor Butler, Jessica Miskelly, Christopher Pilbeam, Kathy Wait, Nikole Wilson-Ripsom, Jonas Wilstrup, Catherine Toussaint, Jamie Russell, Becky Santoyo, Russell Hugo, Kelsey L Mayer, Sarah Ford, Isabelle Dubois, Charnette Soto, Nina, Apu.

CHRIS CARTER MONTH begins! The creator of THE X-FILES and MILLENNIUM also produced a lot of failed TV shows, and we're saluting those disappointments, starting with HARSH REALM, a sci-fi epic about a soldier tossed into a virtual reality simulation to assassinate a rogue player. It came out just a few months after THE MATRIX, so audiences were clearly interested in realms as harsh (or harsher) than HARSH REALM. So why didn't it take off, and was it... CANCELED TOO SOON?

On 15 November 1992, the New York Times printed a ‘Lexicon of Grunge’, a list of slang terms from the Seattle music scene. ‘Harsh realm’ = bummer. ‘Wack slacks’ = old ripped jeans. ‘Swingin’ on the flippity-flop’ = hanging out. Not familiar with any of these? It’s OK, that’s not because you’re a cob nobbler (= loser). They were all made up. By Megan Jasper. Now the CEO of Sub Pop records, she recounts her linguistic prank.

In this deleted scene from episode 17 of Continuum Drag, Luke's cousin Nick and his fiancee Jen drop in after being bumped from the episode with a few questions they had about the last episode of Harsh Realm.

In our last Harsh Realm episode, its a classic Romeo and Juliet plot featuring a very lonely priest and Pinnochio revealing that he loooves gold.

We reboot Harsh Realm as a mega summer blockbuster, then someone loses a leg and Santiago goes to Cleveland.

This week Jordan and Luke are joined by guest Courtenay where they try to explain to her how Harsh Realm works, why Terry O'Quinn isn't in any episodes, and where exactly have they left the dog this week.

Things start to look up for Harsh Realm in episodes 3 & 4 as we get into a Zip Fight with some compressed files and step through a glitch into World War 2.

Jordan and Luke boot up Chris Carter's series Harsh Realm for the story of a saviour, an acting dog, a little wooden boy, and a whole lot of glitches.

If there's one thing that non sports fans hate it's when their favourite shows get pre-empted by sports playoffs. But it works in both directions. And for 20 years now baseball fans watching the World Series on FOX have had to watch the network trot out one awful piece of crap doomed show after another. And since the boys are a glutton for punishment, they trudged back through 20 years of garbage television shows that FOX promised us would be hits - most of which you've never heard of and it didn't survive the first season. Come along with us as we point and laugh at one horrible disaster after another as one network goes down in flames right in front of your eyes.
