Utopia!

You guys see this? After the Niners-Cowboys game today, a new series premiered. Utopia. 15 people populate a few square miles for a year, on their own, to make their own rules, to work together (or not?). And oh man, did they pick some interesting characters!

An animal rights advocate, a hunter, a libertarian, a bisexual, and (ready for this?) a Pentecostal pastor!

Oh, this is going to be good!

Utopia means nowhere.

Re: Utopia!

I saw the previews for this tonight. (Yes I know..it's bad to watch tv.. I love watching Star Trek though. LOL) I found it interesting that they were already having fights (fist fights) within the first 24 hours so I am sure it will be interesting. I probably won't be watching it though...I have a feeling that it will end up getting smutty (with or without the Pentecostal preacher). Plus I am sure they will edit it in a way that will make the preacher look stupid (like they usually do with Christians on tv) and that raises my blood pressure. lol

Re: Utopia!

I am going to check this out because I am always interested in whether one society can be better than another.

I was impressed with the pastor. So far, he's been respectful of the others' views, and for the most part, they have been respectful of him. And he's been a calming influence. He and a "devout atheist" (her own term) even get along. So far.

It's pretty obvious that the participants were chosen for their dramatic potential. A couple of real hot-heads, e.g. One of them is such a caricature of a hillbilly that I wonder if he's an actor, or at least some kind of plant with a lot of coaching.

Oh, and it's already gotten "smutty", you might say. Lots of skinny dipping. That bothered the pastor, and the others got together and decided to give him some time in the pond, without any, uh, distractions. Pretty cool of them, actually.

Re: Utopia!

It's soft-scripted, like most "reality" shows today. I thought the first season or two of Survivor were pretty cool over a decade ago. Not interested anymore.

Spolier alert: he baptizes ex-convict, Dave, in Jesus Name. Evidently, you can subscribe to the live feed online. It was all over Twitter and FB yesterday.

LOL You are making it sound interesting...at least the story line that could develop with the pastor sounds like it could be interesting.

Re: Utopia!

It is a disgrace that any person calling themselves Apostolic would have anything to do with such trash
