After Stupid Writers Leave the Earth
There are no links in this post as it is an opinion piece of my own creation. I had the misfortune of watching part of a show last night that should have never been given any thought, much less money and air time. The show was called "Life After People". It was devoted to describing what would happen if mankind disappeared and the world went back to "Nature" as if mankind is not part of "Nature".
There are many problems with the scenario of which I will list a few:
1. If people are gone it will be because of a global catastrophe that will likely kill most if not all living things.
2. Without people to eventually build a space ship and branch out into space nothing on the planet has a chance of lasting indefinitely anyway.
3. And the number one reason the writer of this film is a complete git. If we are no longer here who the hell cares.
It is beyond my comprehension what makes it's way to the TV screen these days. The people running these television stations have completely lost it I do believe. This is not the only completely idiotic show to be put on the screen but it is by far one of the winners for the complete waste of air time award. What is even more sad was the preceding show was about "end of the world" predictions for the year 2012. I looked up failed end of world predictions. The list was very long. And yes, it's entirely possible that one of the predictions will be correct, eventually. The earth will not last forever. This will be by pure chance of course and lets give a round of applause for the jack ass that guessed correctly.
It is my greatest hope that mankind succeeds in getting off this rock and someday achieving immortality before the earth wears out or gets destroyed. Actually, scratch that, my greatest hope is that there is life after death that allows me to play games, enjoy talking with friends, eating any food I like without having weight problems, getting smashed from time to time with no ill effects, enjoying a womans company and having a television network that never plays a stupid ass show for all eternity. The mankind succeeding thing comes in a close second though.
On to the title of my post. After stupid writers leave the earth the following will happen:
1. After their shows get put away in a sealed vault with the words "Hell on Earth Beyond this Door Open and you will be forced to watch every stupid TV show ever written" we will actually find it enjoyable to turn on the TV again.
2. Within a year our cognitive abilities will start to improve and mankind will begin to advance again.
3. Twenty years and we will see piece around the globe and people will start taking responsibility for their own actions.
4. Fifty years and mankind will have established colonies on other planets within our solar system.
5. And within one hundred years mankind may well achieve immortality and galactic colonization.
In order for this to happen people must learn the signs of a stupid writer. If you are watching a show and start to feel your thought patterns twisted by incoherent ravings being passed off as logic turn off the TV immediately. When a show is based off of nothing but speculation but tries to be passed off as fact, turn it off. If you see Al Gore on the screen, turn it off. If it starts talking about earth day it's probably political propaganda, turn it off. Be wary of sitcoms. Bad sci-fi can fry your brain as well. Cheesy horror movies are only to be watched if they include a lot of nudity(Just hit mute, grab a beer and enjoy). And the number one sign of a stupid writer:
You find yourself staring at the screen saying "Now this is a Stupid Show."
I hope you have enjoyed my little opinion piece. I don't write them often but sometimes you just have to let the rant go to keep from going insane. Comment if you have been the victim of a stupid writer lately.

I watched the same program. It was kinda silly in that in this scenario people just dissapeared. You did miss the one redeeming quality of this program, it showed that if for some reason we do kill ourselves off, the world keeps going, thus, no matter what we do, we can't "destroy" the Earth.
On a personal note, I think that we will be wiped out by a resistant strain of a virus or bug, mainly due to the fact that people overmedicate and thus make germs more resistant to current treatments.
Aye. That could be a redeeming quality if it wasn't already a common sense thing that only clueless types don't understand. As Jar(egg)head once commented to me, "The earth is a huge rock and it's very arrogant of people to think they have that much of an effect." I think that was pretty close to what he said. It was many years ago at this point. If I'm wrong I'm sure he'll let me know. I will somewhat reluctantly relent and admit that for the clueless ass hats mentioned above the show may have some value.
Not to worried about the virus/bug thing myself. There are enough isolated communities in the world that I figure mankind will survive. Some people will be immune some will have a strong enough immune system to fight it off and it's likely that nano science will render these types of critters powerless in the next few years. This is a personal opinion as well but I try to be the optimist when I can.
I still stand by the idea that stupid writers ruin a great many things. The original Battlestar Galactica was an alright story line at first but went to total crap by the end. Same thing for Buck Rogers, Deep Space Nine, Dr. Who(The new one that is) and Stargate SG1. Of course there's a large list that are crap from start to finish. Failed attempts by stupid writers to build on what a descent writer had started. Things of that nature. I'm not even going to try and list all those. I'll just mention one in order to make my point. Crusade of the Babylon 5 universe. Enough said.

It sounds like to me you just dissed "Battle beyond the stars" starring Richard "John boy" Thomas. A true cinematic extravagaza, on par with "Glitter", and "Showgirls"
Wow, I can not believe that you guys feel for that one! Hell the title alone should have been enough of a warning.
"Life After People", I just assume I would not be here so why would I care, hopefully ya'll have learned your lesson.
If you take what I type to heart and are offended by my comments.....GET ALIFE!
I wasn't personally offended, but I'm sure someone out there who would never see this site or these comments would have been offended so I will express shock and indignation for them.
Ahem... HOW DARE YOU! You should learn to be more sensative to peoples feelings!
How was that?
I can honestly say that this one was due to wife control of TV next to my computer. She walked in turned on the History Channel and then left after a short time. Kind of like someone walking into the room just to release some after dinner gas and then walking away. After a few min of listening to the crap they were saying and realizing she was no longer there I turned it off.
What about the monkeys, the could take over were we left off. Rebuild the space program. That is if they could get passed the whole slinging of poo at each other thing.
